Cups and Balls Routine by Dennis Loomis

-  New Material Not Covered Before

-  All New Photos

-  A New Bare Bones Outline For practicing

32 excellent photographs and and 9 diagrams show every detail! A classical routine with traditional props and effects, but with exceptionally clean handling and extreme economy of motion. Table hoppers - this routine resets during performance!

The Three Ball Assembly phase is the cleanest ever devised for the Cups and Balls. The audience sees three tabled balls covered one at a time by three cups, but a moment later, all three balls are under the center cup. It looks like real magic to laymen, and has fooled many knowledgeable magicians.

The Smash Color Change is visually startling, and provides perfect misdirection for one of the final loads. This routine is designed to be done seated, working from a set of saddle bags ala Don Alan. The Dennis Loomis saddle bags are described with 3 photographs to enable you to make your own.

EPILOGUE

Dai Vernon Roy Walton Edward Marlo Bruce Cervon Jack Avis Robert E. Neale All under the supervision of KARL FULVES

These six masters of close-up magic were the first of a prestigious gathering who, in November of 1967, and continuing through the 1970s, contributed to a new journal called EPILOGUE. In November of that year its editor, Karl Fulves, wrote: “Because the material in The Pallbearers Review is largely confined to self-working routines, I’ve found myself in the not enviable position of having to turn down tricks that demand more than average skill.

EPILOGUE was conceived to get into print some of those more advanced ideas.” During the span of 24 issues and 5 “Specials”, the six stars of magic named above were joined by; Martin Gardner—Roger Klause—Alex Elmsley—Ken Krenzel—Harvey Rosenthal—J.K. Hartman—Milt Kort—Larry Jennings—Herb Zarrow—John Cornelius—Bro. John Hamman—John Scarne—Michael Skinner—Ascanio—Derek Dingle and many more ..

Some of the most outstanding sleight-of-hand magic of a decade-some of it destined to become classic—appeared in the pages of EPILOGUE. No wonder files of this journal are coveted, costly and difficult to acquire. Now you can own and enjoy this sought-after companion to The Pallbearers Review, a wealth of superb magic hardbound. All 30 issues of EPILOGUE are beautifully reproduced here, at a fraction of the cost of an original file. If you wish the highest caliber of card and close-up magic for yourself and your audiences, you must have EPILOGUE

324 pages of the best magic-by-magic’s best.
