Time for a Change by Lee Alex

Lee Alex, the mastermind behind the popular “Colour Change Waistcoat,” presents his insightful book that complements his international lecture on quick change, titled “Time for a Change?” Renowned Las Vegas headliner Jeff McBride praised these lecture notes as “gorgeous!” while Jim Kleefeld from MUM Magazine (October 2009) expressed, “I loved the book.”

This comprehensive guide offers practical, step-by-step instructions for five innovative costume changes tailored for working magicians. Here are the highlights:

• “And so to Bed”: Transform from pajamas, bathrobe, and slippers into a full tuxedo.
• “One Piece Suit”: Change from a full tuxedo with a light-up jacket to a casual suit of the same color.
• “Two Piece Suit”: Visually switch from a casual suit to cargo shorts and a Bermuda shirt.
• “Surf the Wave”: Transition from a short-sleeved shirt and cargo shorts, complete with leis, to a white long-sleeved shirt and black trousers.
• “The Long and the Short of It”: Learn how to prepare long-sleeved garments and trousers for a quick change from short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

Lee also introduces the Magnaseam gimmick, sharing routines that complement his acclaimed “Colour Change Waistcoat.” Additionally, he presents a novelty Colour Change Kilt suitable for male and female magicians, along with a new illusion inspired by his expertise in quick change, titled “Hermione.” The book includes two insightful essays: one offering a formula to elevate your close-up magic to the stage, and another providing a magician’s guide to shopping, helping you avoid cluttering your space.
