Routined Manipulation Vol 1 and 2
Now combined into one 250 page volume, these two books have to be some of the finest publications on magic ever! Most illustrations are actual black and white photos. Routines, moves, sleights are fully explained and patter is actually included in many of the routines. I grew up learning from these books and highly recommend them.
Routined Manipulation Finale
The final book of the Routined Manipulation series. More great hand magic for both close up and stage by some of the greatest magicians of all times.
Catch lines on these books.
Normally you read the catch line and you can find something false about it. Most marketing people do that. They explain something better then real, and it usually is. I can honestly say that with this serious, They don't play these books up enough. Period.
These books include everything I seen as a kid an loved. These books cover the truist magical classics. I may venture to say that with this serious of books I may never buy another magic book or DVD again.
Ok. I am a sucker so I will buy more but I won't "have" to. Reading it takes me back to seeing performance by Fred Kaps, Teller, and tons of other magicians.
Must have for anyone doing manipulation work or has an interest in it.
I give the book a 10 out of 10.
