The Little Blacke Book of Magic & Escapes by Thomas Blacke.
Description
As the title suggest, this IS a little "blacke" book for it measures 4 1/4"x5½" and contains 19 pages.
Thomas Blacke is actually Tom Carriers stage name. A professional magician, comedian, escape artist and pickpocket. He has performed around the World and has been featured on Canadian and American television, as well as in many periodicals. Hes also a successful magic dealer, inventor, author and lecture.
Tom has taken his favorite routines, he has developed over the years, and has put these in to print for all to enjoy and to learn from. As a person once said, "if you only get one good routine from a magic book, then the book has paid for itself many times over". Im sure Tom would like to think youll get much more than one good routine from his book.
Contents include: "The Spirit Tube Tie". Created by Norman Bigelow back in the 1970s, this effect is an adaptation of The Ropes Through the Neck, converted into an escape - "Invisible Deck Routine". The spin on this routine is you use a Brainwave deck, instead of an Invisible deck. - "The "Kiss" Card". A selected card turns out to be the only red back card in a deck with all blue backs. The kick is: then the red back card, turns back in to a blue back card. - "Cautiously Optimistic". A chosen card is found under seemingly impossible conditions. I know youve read all this before in other books, but wait till you read it here. - "T.B. Card in Wallet". A great routine where a selected card, placed on the top of the deck, with the spectators hand placed on top of the pack, vanishes and is found inside the plastic sleeve of the wallet. - "Business Card Routine". A blank business card turns into a business card with all the printed information, right in front of the spectator. - "Zip-Tie Cuff Escape". Know how to have your wrists tied up with a zip-tie and then escape? Well, you Will after reading this book.
