Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic - Book

Just ask anyone in our store, and they will emphatically tell about the marvelous Mark Wilson Course! It is a great book with tons (!) of clear illustrations. It covers every popular area in magic, from cards to stage illusions. There are chapters on mentalism, coins, impromptu, sponge balls, cups & balls, and so much more, it would take pages to tell you about it. When the course originally came out, it cost over fifty dollars! It was worth more than that at that time! Now, it has been re-published in its entirety for a lot less than that! Master illusionist Mark Wilson has compiled the most comprehensive magic "teach-in" ever assembled. The secrets to more than 300 classic tricks-from sleight of hand to levitation-are carefully explained in this 503-page volume. It's all here: Card Magic, Coin Magic, Rope Magic, Mental Magic, Make-at-Home Magic, Sponge Ball Magic, Billiard Ball Magic, Cups and Balls Magic, and Magical Illusions. Mark Wilson devoted more than two years of research, writing, and technical preparation to this book. More than 50,000 still photographs were taken of the detailed execution of the tricks considered worthy to include in this course, and these photographs were edited and converted into hundreds of simplified line drawings. The straightforward text follows Mark Wilson's "step method" of magic instruction, the same method he has used to teach magic to Tony Curtis, Telly Savalas, Bill Bixby, Dick Van Dyke, Peter Faulk, Bernadette Peters, John Denver, and other professional entertainers. It's thoroughness makes Mark Wilson's Complete Course In Magic especially recommended for the beginner with absolutely no experience in magic. At the same time, its scope and depth has earned this book a place in the libraries of many of today's most accomplished magicians, professional and amature alike! Softbound, 503 8.5" by 11" pages
