Discover the Magic of David Acer’s Latest Book
David Acer masterfully blends humor with exceptional writing, making this book a delightful read.
Inside, you’ll find an impressive collection of 59 magic effects, not including the various sleights taught within the routines. It’s a treasure trove of magical content!
As a renowned commercial comedy magician, Acer’s routines initially seemed tailored for professionals. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that his brilliant sleight of hand appeals to all skill levels. While many routines are straightforward, some do require dedicated practice.
Each routine in this book is designed for clarity and impact. You’ll encounter amazing tricks involving cards, coins, markers, cell phones, matchbooks, matches, receipts, elastics, bottles, balls, bills, wallets, ties, spoons, and finger rings, along with engaging anecdotes and road stories!
One standout routine is “Overtime,” a simple yet powerful effect that is sure to astonish your audience, especially fellow magicians.
Beyond sleights and tricks, the final chapter features 12 captivating essays originally published in Genii magazine, titled “Confessions of a Road Warrior.” These essays are entertaining and kept me engrossed from start to finish.
This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about magic!
