In many ways it contains all the magic you need to build a professional caliber repertoire. Many have earned a living performing these routines and now you can too.

Leo Horowitz, Emil Jarrow, Francis Carlyle, Dr. Jacob Daley, Tony Slydini, Ross Bertram, Nate Leipzig, and Max Malini helped shape the art of close-up magic as we know it.
