For the first time. Michael Close is releasing some of the routines he is currently using in his position as supervisor of magic at Illusions Restaurant in Carmel, Indiana. Now is your chance to learn routines that have been tested and honed through thousands of performances. Routines which have a devastating impact on both laymen and magicians. Four routines are explained, including Dr. Strangetrick (regarded by many as the definitive handling of Card Warp) and the Pothole Trick.

Each routine is described in meticulous detail including all patter, handling details and bits of business. Nothing has been held back. None of the routines require difficult sleight of hand. Michael Weber says "Michael Close is one of magic's last undiscovered creative treasures. Dr. Strangetrick leaves the others in the dust." 36 pages; spiral bound.
