Al Leech wrote this classic text on the presentation of magic in 1948, and it has been essential reading ever since.
The ebook goes into depth on the application of psychology to magic, misdirection, how best to fool people, how to make them like you, and similar topics.
“The many classics on the subject that predated it were ambitious and well intended but full of air and nonsense. But this modest thing pointed the way.
Its historical importance would be reason enough to put it out. But in its modest little way, it has never been bettered. It remains fresh and valuable today.” – Michael Landes
