For the past 50 years, Sam Schwartz has been devising some of the most baffling magic and mentalism ever created. When Backflip hit the scene it set off a whole new generation of packet effects. Incredi-Box changed how magicians looked at coin boxes. And those in the know recognize that Sam's book tests were bigger than anything before or after. At last, over 60 of Sam Schwartz's best tricks and routines have been gathered between hard covers to make SamÕs, a book that spans a lifetime of creativity and offers brilliant additions to the fields of Card and Coin Magic, Close-up Magic, Mentalism, Rope Effects and Rope and Ring Magic. Sam's, a book of 242 pages by Allen Zingg, with over 200 illustrations by Tony Dunn, is a compendium of magic with methods attainable by the average magician and effects engineered to entertain while they astonish. Here is a book full of material you will use - because it's Sam's - because it's the finest!
