“Special Effects is my latest, and I honestly believe my best book to date. Within its forty pages, you’ll encounter thirteen really strong close-up and stand-up routines, and all my own offerings appear here in print for the very first time. <\/p>\n
I have stripped away virtually all the sleight-of-hand from most of the routines and presented you with a collection of tried and tested ‘workers’ that are very strong in effect, but equally easy to perform. As I said of one of them, “If I can do it… you DEFINITELY can!” This, I believe, is true of them all. <\/p>\n
Along the way Stephen Tucker, who wrote the book for me, has suggested some very clever additions, tips, and ideas, and even a complete routine. <\/p>\n
I have been absolutely amazed that, after being quite the finger-flicker myself for many years, I have been able to retain the strength of each effect, but with the absolute minimum of dexterity being required to achieve it. <\/p>\n
There are routines with business cards, playing cards, bottles and bottle caps and even one with a silk and a borrowed packet of cigarettes. <\/p>\n
Finally, I’d like to thank Pat Page, Steve Beam and Stephen Tucker for permission to include their three routines, and YOU for at least reading this brief book description. I hope that you are now considering buying Special Effects. <\/p>\n
At the next convention we both attend feel free to ask me to show you something from the collection, which I’ll be more than happy to do.” <\/p>\n
