Whether performing magic or mentalism, Ronnie Gann was the consumate professional. His liquid finish for The Cups and Balls Routine astounded magicians and laymen alike, as did so many of his effects. In routining his tricks, Gann always sought to develop a clever presentational twist or surprise finish that was different and above all else, entertaining. In this sought-after booklet, Gann offers 14 of his pet effects (most complete with presentation and patter). Close-up magic with cards, coins, cigarettes, and more.
Highlights include :
Liquid Finish for the Cup and Ball Routine - Gann reveals his own closely-guarded method which is 100% practical!
"It's a Joke(r)" Son!! - an astonishing transposition of a selected card and a joker sandwiched between four indifferent cards - all under a spectator's hand. For an incredible kicker, the selected card changes back into a joker!
Follow the Leader in Reverse - an easy-to-perform Kings and Aces transposition.
Coin-A-Matic - a visual coin vanish and reproduction.
It's About Time - an effect in which you predict the time a spectator sets on his own watch.
Kaptain Kidd's Korny Kutlass - an entertaining torn and restored cigarette paper during which the torn pieces are impaled on a small, colorful plastic cocktail sword.
And much more.
