I am very comfortable with what I have learnt as regards to sleights and the one or two card tricks I can do but really want some help with the patter and showmanship.

A friend recommended Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz. What do you think??
Very Happy

I've been looking at buying Strong Magic to take on holiday in a couple of weeks - you can see a review here.

I reckon I'll buy it. Also, have a look at Absolute Magic by Derren Brown, and 'Making Magic Real' by Osterlind, available at his website.

Cheers for that Zack.

I think SM will be my next ourchase after reading all the reviews.

I'm definatly going to have a look at Darren Browns stuff because I think he is fantastic.

Hope you have a great holiday Very Happy

To be honest. Paul Danniels or Marvin are good hings to take on holiday as its easy to learn from them, give it ago i find when you want to learn somthing decent and quick, they are the most succesfull and basic.

The one I would recommend is in many ways the bible of such Tomes (although I am sure at least a few will disagree with me).

The book is Magic and Showmanship, A Handbook for Conjurers by Henning Nelms. and I personally have found it VERY useful.

It was I believe reveiwed in this thread...

Hawk - what did you find most useful about 'Magic and Showmanship' by Henning Nelms?

Do you use any of the effects in it? I use his 'Out Of This World' - I think it's the best version out there.

...mods - bear with me... Wink

OK, OK!
