The Close-Up Magic of Danny Tong by Dan Tong

Review: This book serves more as lecture notes than a traditional guide. While the illustrations lack detailed explanations of the effects, the concise descriptions assume a certain level of familiarity with magic techniques. Nonetheless, it contains some impressive routines. The content is typewritten and features illustrations by Mike Tucci.

Contents:

• Coins to Glass: A captivating effect using just four half dollars and a stemmed glass.
• Card Party: A spectator’s chosen card vanishes from their packet and reappears face up in the magician’s packet.
• Card Party: The spectator marks a card, and the magician successfully identifies it while the cards are face up.
• Ibidem #34: A striking transformation where a red/black arrangement changes to one half all black, with the other half revealing four Aces.
