An outstanding book that reveals the best effects of a top professional in the field of close-up magic.

Bert Allerton performed for the movers and shakers of Hollywood, Chicago, and other famous locales.

Every effect he performed, whether it was a magic standard, or an original routine, carried the hallmarks of professionalism and class.

Now Bert teaches his pet effects that made him famous: 32 in all.

These include the famous Jumping Flower, the Two-Card Trick, Comedy Scissors (with full instructions on how to make them), the Vanishing Bird Cage, and lots more.

"A fine collection . . . well worth the investment." (John J. Crimmins, Jr.) "These are the tricks that fooled everyone and made Bert famous." (Max Holden) "One of the greatest masters of intimate trickery." (Bill Larsen)
