It’s magic—close-up, in-your-face magic, as taught by Britain’s leading comedy conjurer. Zenon presents all his great tricks and illusions in an accessible jargon-free format that’s well-illustrated with easy-to-follow diagrams. There’s no skimping on important detail, and the book begins with the simplest tricks, so beginners can focus on entertainment rather than sleight-of-hand. As skills grow, novices can progress to card counting, predictions, graphology and a heart-stopping routine where the dead seem to appear.

            Also includes: “One for the Road,” possibly the world’s very best trick!
