With the interest in 'street magic' this is a good time to re-introduce this excellent book.

In the past I traveled the world as a 'street magician', earning a living from drawing a crowd, entertaining them and then passing-the-hat.

This life has little in common with the modern concept of 'street magic' and Secrets of the Street Conjuror gives an insight into the ways and wiles of the street magician as it used to be (before my time).

Don't miss out on this entertaining read.

You will find lots of real advice about audiences and how to handle them along with practical ideas to enhance any performance.
