First book of its kind-ever! Many magicians realize that one of the more enjoyable ways to earn a living in our profession is to work the Cruise ships. The eating is GREAT and you can see the world! You may die from over-eating but what a way to go! If you think you can eat the gourmet food on the cruise ships and still fit into your tuxedo, then this book is for you!
The problem for most magicians who desire to work on the Cruise ships is lack of information on how to go about it. Until now, there has NEVER been a book detailing how to get booked, the names and addresses of the Agents to call, what to take with you, what to do with livestock, what kinds of acts the agents want, what it should pay, etc.
Jimmy Ray, a working professional who has spent years-working Cruise ships as well as nightclubs, has been kind enough to reveal his vast store of information on this subject. To someone desiring to get into this line of work this book is easily worth $500. After reading through this concise book, any qualified magician with a professional act at least will know what he has to do and where to go to break into the Cruise circuit. If you have any idea of working Cruise ships in the future, then get this book so you can plan your future properly with this goal in mind. Thanks, Jimmy! ALL ABOARD!

MAGIC & STORY by DEEPAK CHOWDHURY
Deepak is never satisfied with just performing a trick. It has to be a "Production, on a theatrical scale, with a plot that keeps the audience at the edges of their seats, the Magic tricks being purely incidental to the drama. Deepak has to his credit a large number of plays in Bengali, both one act and full length, which have been published in various local Magazines. He has won several prizes as a Writer, Director and Actor. He is a regular contributor of short stories to the local magazine Galpo Guchcha. He is also the author of magic for beginners in the daily newspaper Ganashakti. He is one of the State Committee members of the West Bengal Democratic Writers and Artists Association. Deepak is also a very enthusiastic painter, sculptor and craftsman.
The reader of this book will perhaps be familiar with Mad Mags, one of his many creations marketed internationally. However, It is not the creation of new tricks or methods, but their presentation before an audience that makes Deepak a performer a step above the ordinary. One can always watch a performance of Deepak's with the same interest and wide eyed wonder with which you witness your first Magic show. When Deepak performs the secrets and methods cease to matter, and it feels good to get carried away with the plot.
The complete routines in this book will give readers a very good idea to Deepak's presentation and approach. His style and approach strongly resembles that of Eugene Burger. A lot of his Magic in this book espouses social problems and their solutions. Some of the magic is sheer fantasy or straight faced comedy, as Deepak paddles the wares of his imaginary Magic Utility Products Company. His magic act titled Phool Phutuk (let the flower bloom) has been performed for the past 10 years. The show recently celebrated its tenth anniversary at the renowned Sisir Mancha Theatre in the heart of Calcutta. During these 10 years Deepak has completed 753 shows, so it obvious audiences are willing to pay to see it. It has often been said that being able to perform half a dozen tricks well will make you a far better Magician than knowing how a hundred of them are done. If you agree with this, you will find this book a good pointer to what effective presentation can be.
