George Anderson – It Must Be Mindreading

Format: PDF

Why This Book Stands Out: This exceptional collection features all one-man effects, eliminating the need for confederates or assistants. It avoids cumbersome gimmicks, striking a perfect balance between close-up and platform material. With only two card effects tailored for close-up magic, each routine has been tested and refined by a seasoned performer, ensuring practicality for today’s working conditions. This illustrated book is truly one of a kind.
