DESCRIPTION

In this hard-to-find set of notes from his first lecture in 1957, Ken Allen shares over a dozen tried and tested tricks and routines, all of which are easy to work and make up. Material includes Pulling the Wool (his method for performing the beautiful Gypsy Thread Trick with a length of colorful yarn), A Stunning (Card) Transposition, Allen's Simple Card Force, Sneaky Silk Production, Silk Maze (originally a marketed effect), The Spooky Pocket gag (after you turn your pants' pocket inside out, you wave your hand and it mysteriously goes back in!), How to Make a Flash Pull (with 6 effects), and much more, including his hilarious (hand puppet) Monkey in Basket routine with patter and all of the delightful bits of business. As many magicians know, Ken Allen was a creative powerhouse. In addition to being a successful magician and magic dealer, he was also the inventor of a number of popular effects, like the Chinatown Quarter, Jumping Gems, and Monkey-Bar, among others. 28 pages, retypeset, illustrated.

Also available...Ken Allen's Once Again Rope Trick and Hen Fetsch's booklet on Ken Allen's Chinatown Quarter.
