HOFFMANN'S MODERN MAGIC by PROFESSOR HOFFMANN
Time flies! And a great deal of time has passed since Professor Hoffmann wrote "Modern Magic." Yet the fundamental principles of magic and the principles of performance are as valid today as they were at the beginning of the 20th century.
Each trick is explained clearly and in detail, with clear, supporting illustrations, and as Professor Hoffmann has said, the books are "designed to give an account of the most up-to-date methods of magic, and to enable the conjurer of the twentieth century to start fully equipped..."
"Hoffmann's Modern Magic" begins with card tricks with ordinary cards and specially prepared cards, card tricks involving sleight of hand and those requiring special apparatus, coin tricks with and without apparatus, tricks with watches and rings, with dominoes and dice, and with cups and balls.
This book is a must for every professional and amateur performer of magic.

JARDINE ELLIS RING by MOHAMMED BEY
In the hands of Mohammed Bey (S. Leo Horowitz) the routine in this book is one gems of magic. Used is the famous Jardine Ellis Ring, and a wand. For impromptu presentation a full-length pencil will be found satisfactory. You cause the ring to pass onto the wand while it is held at both ends by a spectator, and then you immediately repeat the effect leaving the wand and the ring in the spectator's hands for any examination he may wish to make.

FIRST AID LINES by ALDO COLOMBINI
In this book you'll find an incredible amount of good lines to use when those inevitable accidents happen. No matter how experienced a performer you are (magician, speaker, MC, comedian) you will face situations from time to time where you need something to save the moment. It's not a question of IF it will happen, it's a question of WHEN it will happen.
If you face a heckler, you drop something, you make a mistake, you hear a noise off stage, a baby cries, etc..., knowing exactly what to say at the appropriate moment will show the audience that you are a real professional.
