Michael Skinner's Intimate Magic

“What really appealed to me about these tricks and all of the others in the book, is the way that they have been honed to razor-sharp, professional perfection. The mechanics have been divested of all superfluous complexity, the plots are easy for the audience to follow and comprehend. The descriptions are well written and beautifully clear. Altogether, one of the best books that I have read for a long time.” Al Smith, Pabular

The late Michael Skinner was a master of classic magic. He was the resident magician at the Golden Nugget, won Close-Up Magician of the Year twice from the Magic Castle, and even performed his magic multiple times on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Michael Skinner’s Intimate Magic contains eleven of his classic routines for close-up or stand-up. These are professional, working routines from a true master. The five stand-up routines include a card routine with two spectators, multiple coin routines, and even a three-phase cut and restored rope routine that was co-created by Tony Slydini!

In the close-up section, you’ll find Michael’s Ball & Vase routine, a two-phase poker routine that is incredibly entertaining, Michael’s work on Card On Ceiling, which was praised by Charlie Miller, a handling of Cards Through Newspaper, a cigarette paper transposition, and Michael’s famous Torn and Restored Cigarette Paper. These are reputation-making routines from a true master!
