This book is funny right from the start!

From the author's introduction: "People say that I live dangerously, and that's true because I use my own material. Now that you have purchased this book you can live dangerously too! The following routines have kept me in obscurity for more years than I care to mention —- why not let them do the same for you?"

Val's reputation for first-rate comedy is evident here, as is some great, ENTERTAINING MAGIC that will get you bookings and repeat dates.

Partial contents:

• Cabaret Linking Ring Routine: Uses only FOUR rings found in the usual set of eight. A slick, modern presentation, complete with patter and moves, exactly as featured by Val at leading music halls and night clubs. This alone is worth the cost of the book.

• Bijou Bar Act: "Any drink called for" now made practical for close-up performance. A complete act in itself wherein different drinks are produced—and then a long snake! Complete with patter and presentation.

• Mine Uncle Ethelred: A Passe Passe effect performed in character. A great routine.

• Nineteenth Century Silks: Despite the tongue-in-cheek title, this is a new method, complete with patter.

• Presentation for Multiplying Candles

• Limp Chicken Gag

• Follow-up to Fish-Catching Trick

• Patter Routine for Rice Bowls

• Patter for Chinese-Sticks

All this, plus more gags, patter, tricks and bits of business that you'll want to put to use right away.
