This book contains everything you need to know to start offering your own classes on psychic development. For years Webster has done these in his own home, and almost always had a waiting list of people wanting to attend. This book explains every detail of his course, which is held for ninety minutes a week for six weeks. He’ll tell you how to get clients, what to teach them, and what items to sell to them. One of the features of his course is that he hands out 24 sheets of detailed notes. These are all included in the book, ready for you to use yourself. If you put your name and address on these, they become advertisements, as your students will show them to others. Webster’s classes are entertaining and fun for the participants. Most psychic classes are dull and boring, with the students spending most of their time writing down notes from a blackboard. Richard Webster’s are designed to be enjoyable and practical. All of the experiments he uses are explained, along with much of his patter. You can make a good part-time or full-time living teaching these classes.

Find out if trade shows are for you! Except for Television specials, no aspect of professional magic is as rewarding as Trade Show work. The big traveling illusion shows have huge expenses, and a tendency to use up the territory. The individual Trade Show magician can go on forever, witness Eddie Tullock, as long as he keeps getting better and better, and attracts continuous important clients. We don't really suggest that every magician try to be a Trade Show performer. We do suggest that every magician owes it to himself to know as much as he can about all ways to make a living out of the magic he does. For a few dollars \"Trade Shows\" gives you a view of this kind of work you can get in no other way. Experts have helped to put this book together, people who know Trade Show work backwards and forwards. The information in it is a \"must\" if you seriously intend to approach this field. And if you haven't the slightest intention of becoming a trade show performer, you will still marvel at the inside insights of trade show work now in print. It makes great conversation material, and puts you in an advisory position with fellow magicians.

Senor Mardo (1895-1976) was a pro of long standing and in this book he has patterned fifteen 'acts' designed for the ambitious magician. In some of these, every detail is given, so the student may know how an act is created. In others, the pattern of the routine is given, along with suggested tricks, and the magician will apply his new knowledge to arranging these acts. In one act, a novel and completely routined rope trick is included. Most of the tricks are standards, which you may already have.

We have always felt the need of a first book for the newcomer’s primer, as it were. Frances Ireland Marshall put together (as her fifteenth book) this book that will take the beginner through the newness and strangeness of the world of magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins when laymen (young or old) discovers magic. Maybe they see a TV spectacular, or a big magic show, or a friend fools them with a trick. They feel the urge to do something about it. The Primer leads them, step by step into magic. It tells them what is inside the world of magic and how they can be part of it—the clubs and organizations, the many tricks, the future possible, options and possibilities are explained and discussed. There is good solid advice from professional Jay Marshall, to lead the newcomer in the right path. Then, with the aid of Jay Marshall, she arranged a glossary of words and terms that are familiar to the initiated magician, but gibberish to the newcomer to our field. This is all in \u003cem\u003eThe Language of Magic\u003c\/em\u003e, in alphabetical arrangement, explained so it will never be foreign again. Following that, the kinds and types of tricks are explained, leading to a Program for a Little Stand Up Show, easy to do, routined, patter ideas given. Finally a very explicit section by Bob Miller, on \u003cem\u003eMagic, The Wonder-Full Hobby\u003c\/em\u003e. All the facts that make magic an art are there. Plus, this section could form the basis for a superlative talk on magic suitable for any group, or for a media interview at any level.
