From the creator of Visions Magazine!
The Bermuda Triangle, disappearing towns, pint-sized geniis, vampire hookers, and William Randolph Hearst — all these and more are presented as entertaining pieces of theatrical magic!
Over 20 routines from the strange to the horrifying to the just plain fun! These are not pieces of smoke from an armchair bizarrist — this is storytelling magic at its finest from the repertoire of a working bizarre magician!
From an beautifully eerie revelation courtesy of an impromptu witchboard to a humorous tale of a pint-sized genii to strange scratchings revealing predictions, there's something in this book for everyone, whether they lean to the horrifying or to the just plain fun!
- Cast a deadly spell and allow your spectators to see the effects of a demonic curse!
- Let your audiences in on the challenge between God and scientists!
- Show exactly why magicians don't go around producing all the money they'd like (and the dire consequences of doing so)!
- Let your spectators bypass talking to spirits and get an answer to their secret question from Heaven itself!
- Show why werewolves have the odds stacked in their favor nowadays!
- Give a spectator proven, psychic ability even they cannot explain!
- Pass a curse to a spectator with the help of a letter from a little girl who is frightfully dead — and not at all happy about it!
And that just scratches the surface of the things you'll learn — and be performing — from One!
Includes the reputation-making routine, "PHASING!"
