Knockout mental magic fills one large chapter in this book. Stage magic fills another chapter including an easy and very effective newspaper tear. Three other chapters contain novel close-up magic, coins, cards, cups and balls and various other close-up stunts. All of John’s magic reflects his own unusual approach to magic. The effects are strong, and the methods, for the most part, are easy.You may be familiar with previous Rigg's contributions in magazines such as Steve Beam's Trapdoor, and elsewhere. This collection goes far beyond the previous offerings-it is much larger and the magic is outstanding! Five Chapters!
