Best books

Postby Johnny Wizz » Jul 14th, '05, 13:04



I am looking for a good book for TT magic. I know one was mentioned here a few weeks ago but I can't find the thread. Also I would like something on Cups and Balls.

I am using Royal Road for cards and Bobo for coins so I am prepared to look at something serious if its out there.

Ammar's "Complete Cups and Balls" is pretty good, and it also comes on DVD.

I think the Encyclopedia of TT magic was mentioned fairly recently, however once you have a few ideas of what can be done with a TT your imagination is likely to be as good as any book you get.

I have a book with the title '101 tricks with a tt' or something like that. It costs next to nothing and it has some really good ideas.
I would recommend 'The magic of Michael Ammar'. In that book there is a brilliant cups and balls routine, as well as some nice effects with a tt and some good ideas on handling the gimmick. On top of that you get crazy man's handcuffs and a whole lot of other really good effects.
