[Magic Video] George Anderson – It Must Be Mindreading

PDF



Why this is a great book?



All one-man effects! No confederates or assistants! No cumbersome or heavy gimmicks! Balance between close-up and platform material. Only two card effects， both for close-up. Tested material routined by a showman. Everything practical for today’s working conditions. A printed， illustrated book. Nothing like it before or since.
