Nelson Downs-the "king of coins" was not only America's most popular and famous coin manipulator, but a talented magician specializing in sleight-of-hand involving objects as varied as cards, eggs, balls, and a host of other objects. This book is not written for the beginner in conjuring, but for the advanced amateur and the professional prestidigitator who seeks to improve their skill-level to that of master magician.


This book contains 125 spectacular tricks, effects and flourishes, the secrets of which, once mastered, will allow applications in modern surroundings only limited by the reader's imagination. Included in this volume are the author's own "Miser's Dream" routine refinements, the secret to his spectacular "wrist palm" and much, much more.


It is a classic work is a must-have for any serious magician.
