Bell's Magic Book

Bell's Magic Book Magic Adviser: Patrick Page Illustrations by Dennis Patten ISBN-13: 9780517126325 ISBN-10: 051712632X Publication Date: 12/12/1988 Publisher: Random House Value Publishing Hardcover 5.65 x 8.25 inches, 140 pages "All the tricks in this book are well within the range of the amateur magician. Some, of course, need a little more practice than others ... and it pays to rehearse them thoroughly, in front of an audience of family and close friends, before trying them out on a larger audience. This handy book gives tips and patter to help put your act over: what to say when tricks go right, when they go wrong, how to use your own personal appearance as the subject of jokes--and how to 'put down' the person who interrupts your act. Scattered throughout the book are Quickies--short jokes that you can slip into your routine whenever the chance arises."
