Christopher reveals his favorite tips, ideas, gags, patter and effects from his own shows. Get more from the magic you already own.

Divided into three parts, you get Tips on Tricks; Nite Club Magic (featuring suggestions from the author and Russell Swann); and Up From the Audience - a chapter of practical tips for getting the best audience helpers up on stage to assist you.

A wealth of practical, tested material for any performer, written by the author who brought you Stretching A Rope. One of the finest values in magic.

"[A] non-padded presentation of bits, gags and "business" that any active wizard can and will use." - Sid Lorraine

"Club and stage performers will find this a good source for ideas, smart presentations, and those extra little bits that add to a live performance." - Lloyd E. Jones in The Bat
