Rare book as new condition. Hardback with Dust Jacket. First Edition copy from 1992

This book is a glorious throwback to the days when making your own magic was all part and parcel of being a performer. Before the internet and the surfeit of dealers. When you were a kid with little money, you made your magic and you performed your magic. By making your own magic from a book you became intimately involved with the effect and often would make little changes to suit your performance or your abilities better.

And what finer place to learn to build your own magic than from Anverdi? This book will give you the opportunity to make your “mechanical” magic of the highest standard. So go ahead, turn the pages, get inspired, build your favorite trick and then amuse and amaze your audience!
