The basics of magic

This lesson is dedicated to a selection of classic magic devices that have proven themselves over decades of performance and are therefore among the most popular magic devices worldwide.

Harlan Tarbell describes, among other things, the " Pigeon Casserole ," the " Lota Vase, " and the " Foo Can "—devices found in almost every magician's cabinet. He explains the famous " Ball Vase " and, based on it, his " Orange Vase Routine ."

The reader encounters such unusual things as “ Magic Chocolates ”, the “ Welsh Rabbit Pan ” and the “ Siberian Chain Shackle ”.

“ Tarbell’s Black Art Table ” is an extraordinarily practical prop that assists its owner in many ways.

The “ Super Pigeon Vanishing ” is sensational; you will learn about principles that Kalanag used to magically vanish a car and David Copperfield used to make his duck Webster disappear.

The final highlight of this colorful round is the “ wandering bottle ,” which is also ideal for comedy and can even multiply until there are nine, twelve or more bottles on the table.
