The Impostress Princess by Peter W. Tappan

Charles Reynolds remarked:

“This is one of the finest books on magic I have ever encountered. Even if you never perform the effect—though I can’t imagine you wouldn’t—you’ll gain invaluable insights into the psychology and showmanship essential for presenting mystery effects effectively. I believe The Impostress Princess is on its way to becoming a classic in its field.”

Now republished and expanded by Phil Willmarth, a close friend and collaborator of Peter, this edition includes new variations of the effect and methods that Peter may not have known or could not include. It features techniques suitable for performances with one person or large audiences, whether impromptu or pre-planned, using cards or other props, contributed by some of the brightest minds in magic. Additionally, it offers an “Annotated Appendix” filled with “Tips and Related Information” and insights into “Reviewing ‘Pairs Re-Paired’ Methodologies,” providing fresh perspectives on the foundational techniques.
