KIDSHOW LIST OF LISTS by DAVID GINN
"Just when you thought it way safe to set up your show, put on your make up, crank up your music for the act to begin, hide your rabbit, polish your vent figure, practice your story line, iron your juggling scarves, and do everything else you've, always wanted to do to get that show on the road, along I come with something else for you to read... something which, upon, careful consideration, might even make a little sense. By the numbers, I call it: David Ginn's Kidshow List of Lists."

INDIAN SHOWCASE: CARD CIRCUS by SREENIVAS
A. P. Sreenivasan who performs as Sreenivas (the underground close-up performer) is one of the most innovative close-up workers from India. He is the only Indian magician with the singular distinction of having two complete One Man Parades of his original Magic published in the prestigious Linking Ring Magazine (the official publication to the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
His technical competence compares with the finest anywhere. Although he is not a professional Magician, his caliber of close up, especially with cards, surpasses that of far more seasoned performers.
The impact of this book will be truly mind blowing. The bare mechanics of the routines can not convey the slightest inkling of the sheer Magic of their actual performance. While the average performer can aspire at producing these effects with the minimum possible exertion, dexterity and practice. Sreenivas goes to great lengths to incorporate these factors into his performance. The result is that every part of his routine is incredible magic. The cards seem to have a life of their own.
In this collection, there are simple ideas like the A. P. S. Rising Cards, well within the reach of any performer. Other routines are not for the amateur or novice, and require a sound background in card handling and techniques. For the performer with the dedication to master these, the rewards are truly outstanding. When you can do a Flip Over Reverse with the same ease that you perform a Double Lift, you will find the polite yawns of your audience magically transform to gasps of amazement. And for the average enthusiasts of close-up Magic, these are the levels of perfection to strive for.
