STAND UP MAGIC by Paul Romhany.

BONUS – links to video performances and other bonus material

Hundreds of photos and diagrams

“What makes STAND UP MAGIC stand out as a publishing coup is that the routines were not assembled merely to fill out the pages, these are routines that have been created for the sole purpose of actually performing them! Romhany has done his homework very thoroughly, and is very gracious in sharing thirty years of research about what to do and why it works These thirty routines have been the foundation of Paul’s professional career, and it is very rare that a performer is willing to share that kind of information.”
– Nick Lewin

For over thirty years Paul Romhany has performed magic as his full time job. It has taken him to over 120 countries and seen him perform on television, trade shows, cruise ships and the finest stages in the world. This book has THIRTY of his stand up and stage routines that have helped shape his career.

If you perform any kind of stand up magic, then you will find routines in here that are practical, strong and will wow any audience. This is a life-long collection of routines direct from Paul’s repertoire – including full scripts for many of the routines.

INCLUDED are the COMPLETE series of PRO-SERIES (if you were to purchase the entire series it would cost over $200 alone!) plus THE BRIEFCASE ILLUSION with a bonus download of the full plans to build this one-person illusion.

WINNING NUMBERS – A one-person prediction routine with raffle tickets and an amazing prediction found inside a balloon.

SIX CARD REPEAT – Paul’s unique and original gimmick cards make this routine much easier to perform. Also included is a fully scripted routine PLUS his kids routine, BUNNY REPEAT.

THE EGG, LEMON, ORANGE and CANARY – A classic of stage magic. Paul reveals the inner workings plus bonus routines by other performers.

SIGNED CARD ON BLUE STAKE – Wayne Rogers and Paul Romhany released this as Pro Series – a complete and new approach to Card on Sword using a stake rather than a sword.

BILL TO CAN – This idea was kept a secret for many years as Paul performed this on the television show, “New Zealand’s Greatest Magicians,” and used it in his trade-show act for many years. A very different handling and FULLY scripted routine for Bill to Can.

COLOR CHANGE HANKY – A classic of magic given a novel twist. For those who know about the half-dyed hank ending, this version does away with any extra dye tubes. PLUS CSI Handling and routine plus three other stand-up scripts, including a comedy club version.
