Klappentext: Lou Gallo is a retired steel-worker who lives in Buffalo, New York. For many years he was a fixture at Eddie Fetcher's Forks Hotel in Cheektowaga, which was the site of the famous Four F's Convention each April. Of all the legends who frequented that convention, no one has a reputation for being more cunning or ruthless than the close-up magician who takes no prisoners: Lou Gallo. The experience of learning magic from Fetcher has produced in Lou Gallo one of the most potent performing combinations ever released on a brother magician: apparant simplicity in handling mixed with a devious method blended with a sly innocence embodied by the performer. (...) There are 46 close-up killers in this book, clearly described by famed author Richard Kaufman in colloboration with professional corporate magician Mark Phillips. With 400 illustrations by Joseph K. Schmidt which create a unique clarity of explanation, these effects with coins, cards, bills and spongeballs will give you the kind of mind-blowers you've been waiting for.
