The basics of magic

This edition contains three lessons on quite different topics. Lesson 69 deals with oriental-style productions using large bowls and similar vessels containing water. Harlan Tarbell doesn't limit himself to the production or disappearance of liquids; he also demonstrates how these methods can be adapted to create, for example, a child or doves. In Lesson 70, Harlan Tarbell introduces his illusion "The Egyptian Mummy," in which a mummy in a funerary shrine comes back to life and appears on stage as an Egyptian princess. Lesson 71 is devoted to public relations and advertising. Using numerous examples from the performing careers of his contemporaries, Harlan Tarbell points out the building blocks for successfully setting up and selling a magic show and identifies potential pitfalls that can hinder the process. 56 pages, Tarbell format (slightly larger than A5)
