Card effects that leave the world of fancy slight-of-hand and manipulation, and enter The Realm of the Incredible. Within this book you will find many effects which will leave your audience thinking that you are not a great juggler of cards, but a true magician.
This is an elaborate and entertaining routine on which hangs the tale of three cardmen competing for the title of The World's Greatest Card Handler. In the role of each of the contestants, the performer throws a face-up Ace into the pack in an attempt to drive it next to the chosen card. Each gets closer, with the result or the third throw reveling that his Ace has split the target card and is resting between the two layers!
Both patter and effect offer the novelty and entertainment so often missing from card routines. There are no difficult sleights; hardly more than standard shuffling and cutting is needed. Full working details and patter story include a brand-new easy way of dry-splitting cards that can be mastered in minutes.
Many performers have built their reputations on rope manipulation, and this book brings you the latest and best. R.C. Buff and Ronald Dayton have joined forces to bring you thirty original and unique rope effects. As in other books, Ron Dayton has provided the reader with clear illustrations of the effects throughout the book.
There are also a half dozen bonus items which use ribbons, flutes, wands, etc.
R.C. Buff was one of the great 'rope men' of our fraternity. Now, Ronald J. Dayton, Joseph K. Schmidt and some of R.C.'s closest friends bring you a wonderful collection of new routines with ropes, rings, silks, and laces.
In the pages of Rope Worker, you will find twenty-two wonderful effects with rope as well as patter and "one-liners" for the routines you use now. Also included are reproductions of photographs and memorabilia from R.C. Buff's estate.
If you have never done rope magic before give these a try. If you have, here are some new and startling effects to keep you 'tied up' for a while!
