Wayne Dobson – Special Effects

PDF

Discover “Special Effects,” my latest and arguably best book yet. Spanning forty pages, it features thirteen powerful close-up and stand-up routines, all presented in print for the first time. In this collection, I’ve minimized sleight-of-hand, offering you a selection of effective and easy-to-perform routines. If I can do it, you can definitely master these tricks!

Thanks to Stephen Tucker, who collaborated with me on this project, you’ll find clever enhancements, tips, and even a complete routine. After years of performing intricate tricks, I’m thrilled to share that these effects maintain their impact while requiring minimal dexterity.

Inside “Special Effects,” you’ll find routines involving business cards, playing cards, bottles, bottle caps, and even a silk handkerchief with a borrowed pack of cigarettes. I extend my gratitude to Pat Page, Steve Beam, and Stephen Tucker for allowing me to include their routines, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this description. I hope you’re considering adding “Special Effects” to your collection.

At our next convention, feel free to ask me to demonstrate something from this collection—I’d be delighted to share! – Wayne Dobson, 2010.
