What People Are Saying

“Knowing Bob’s reputation amongst magicians, I am delighted to know that his amazing routines will be compiled and made available to those who love fine magic.”
– Michael Ammar

“Bob was the first real magician I ever met. He’s a charming guy with an utterly devious mind when it comes to creating magic effects. And best of all, they’re all wonderfully practical. This book is long overdue.”
– David Britland

“I met Bob many years ago, at Ken Brooke’s magic studio, and still have his interesting book Fingertip Fantasies, from which his routine for the coin through the hanky is my favourite. It is straight, direct and nearly impromptu. I like these kinds of routines, and look forward to reading his latest ideas in his new book.”
