Secrets - Eric Maurin - The first book from the author, a professional West Coast magician for more than 20 years.
The seven routines contained within are all very strong. Optical Illusion, a fine broken and restored pair of borrowed glasses; Game, Set Match, a superb multi-phase match/matchbook routine in which the matches do everything but talk!; Long Distance, in which writing appears on your business card; Stylus Magus, wherein a borrowed pen and the pen in your inside coat pocket change place; Hour Power has the time on a spectator's watch change to match the time set on your watch, while the spectator is holding his watch; Symmetrick, a card routine where a shown card visible changes to the spectator's card; and Small Change, a coin routine in which a quarter shrinks to tiny size, then using a magic magnifying glass, returns to its original size. 34 pages, typeset, well illustrated.
