George McAthy's Smart Comedy Book

- TOMMY WINDSOR STUDIOS, OH -

The fourth volume of the series (others were Smart Talk, Smart Business, and Smart Tricks). Lots of comedy

patter, routines, one liners and bits of business for your magic act.

The fourth and final volume of George McAthy's "Smart" comedy series. As with the first three volumes, this

book contains more solid comedy material for magicians - from assorted lines and quips to routines for such

classic props as the Change Bag, Die Box, Egg Bag, Torn and Restored Newspaper, Chinese Sticks, Untying

Silk, Billiard Balls, and more. Plus, a Trouble Wit routine, more great sight gags, emcee lines, lines for

jugglers, and more. And as with the first three, it's yours for a mere pittance.

And as if that were not enough., it has a pretty cool die-cut cover.
