One of Eddie Joseph's best contributions to Magic.
Despite the religious-sounding title, this is a book for magicians, without any sort of religious theme.
It's our guess that either the author or the original publisher thought that this was a catchy title.
This book will provide you with material for all occasions and suitable for any type of audience.
Patter for each effect is included, too.
