It is an immensely practical work dealing with situations when something goes wrong, or you face difficult spectators. You'll never again be afraid to try out a new trick, even if they literally see what you do, even if they really catch you, you can finish successfully, entertainingly, and leave them baffled.
It is divided into three parts
- Outs - what to do when things go wrong
- Precautions - avoiding disasters by forethought
- Challenges - dealing with spectators that challenge you
This is a resource every magician, beginner or advanced, pro or amateur, skilled or unskilled, can use to his advantage. On the surface it deals with card magic, but many of the ideas and a lot of the information contained does apply across the spectrum of magic from close-up to stage.
1st edition 1940; original 80 pages; PDF 57 pages.
