After the Dessert by Martin GardnerAfter the Dessert
by Martin Gardner

One of magic's greatest minds presents 24 carefully chosen impromptu tricks for the dinner table.

Gardner didn't write this book just to release new material. Instead, it was created for the performer who seeks good, well-tested table effects that don't require elaborate practice, preparation or skill.

There's nothing like the confidence gained from always being prepared to present something surprising wherever you may be.

While some tricks have been in print before, you'll find new features and twists that double the trick's effectiveness.

A worthy volume for any magician's working library, regardless of skill level.
