Magic And Showmanship
Many books deal with the devices used by
conjurers but few concern themselves with
the showmanship on which the real art of
conjuring depends. In this book Hening
Nelms whose many lectures before
conjuring societies and articles in conjuring
magazines have made him a recognized
authority, analyzes every phase of
conjuring: sleights, devices, misdirection,
patter and the effective use of assistants
are examined in detail. Treatment of
misdirection is especially noteworthy.
