The Magic of Johnny Thompson
Delivery: please allow 5–8 business days.
One of the most sought-after magic book sets of all time, back in print.
Written by Jamy Ian Swiss, The Magic of Johnny Thompson sold out quickly in both its original printings. Vanishing Inc. has now reprinted it with the same exceptional quality.
Johnny Thompson, The Great Tomsoni, did it all: trade shows, bar magic, illusions, mentalism, his famous stage act and TV consulting for Penn & Teller and others. This set reveals the real secrets behind 78 of his most celebrated routines, including the Cups & Balls, the Balls in the Net, the Egg Bag and The Gambler's Ballad.
You'll also find unpublished material from Dai Vernon, Ed Marlo and Harry Riser, chapters on the close-up magic of Charlie Miller and Max Malini, the full work on The Great Tomsoni & Co.'s dove and silk act, and Johnny's complete trade show act with full script.
