A masterpiece from the late, great Karrell Fox.
The last book written by Karrell Fox, the legendary "King of Korn." Chock full of "goodies," not to mention well-illustrated ideas for kid-show magic, close-up tricks, tradeshow material and stage magic, as well.
Thoroughly illustrated by Ed Harris, and punctuated with countless "Foxy Fotos" taken by Karrell and his friends through the years.
Includes bits of close-up-up, stand-up, mentalism, and even a few routines designed for the kiddies.
Full of useful performing material suitable for almost any performer. 10 close-up effects, 13 card effects, 7 mentalism effects, 7 kid effects, 6 trade show effects, 7 miscellaneous effects, 25 stand up and stage effects, and 2 essays of advice from Karrell Fox.
Excerpt from the Book - The Introduction:
"Well, here we go again. It's hard for me to realize that my first book Kornfidentially Yours was written and published over fifty years ago. And according to Magic Inc (Jay and Frances) it's still a good seller. Well, it's nine books later, and I'm still saying that everything in this book is useable. It has all been audience tested by me (personally) and is guaranteed to be commercial, and all of the effects are easy to do. If you have any of my previous books you know that I don't waste space with long-winded explanations. I give as much information as you need to do the trick and leave plenty of room for you to add your own ideas and original twists to the effect. I use a lot of snapshots for two reasons. Number one, because you (my readers) have asked for them and number two, because the main thing I've gotten from this wonderful profession/hobby is the many lasting friendships it has given me. I wish for you the same luck. Enough of this rambling. Go ahead and enjoy the book, and may your dreams be touched by magic." - Karrell Fox

A little about the man:
Fox, Karrell
(1928 - 1998 )
When he was a child, his parents operated a small restaurant in E. Rainelle, West Virginia. A customer sneaked out without paying his bill, but left behind a few small tricks. With these, Karrell began his magic career. He appeared on the "Ed Sullivan Show" at the age of 18. He later had his own TV show, performing as Milky the Clown.
