DESCRIPTION

Step back to 1972 and into the mind of legendary magician Mike Rogers—renowned close-up worker, top trade show pro, and creator of hard-hitting routines that actually play. In these early lecture notes, Rogers cherry-picks the strongest material from his three previous lecture manuscripts.

You’ll learn:

A Baffling Case – A signed card vanishes from an encased deck of cards wrapped in newspaper and makes a startling appearance in another piece of newspaper.

Matches Through the Table – A visual, surprising plot twist.

The Photographic Card – Rogers’ funny take on a classic premise using a cheap card box and a novelty item that gets laughs and fools in performance.

Ashes on Business Card – A clever update of the old “ashes on arm” effect with real commercial value—it leaves your audience with a mystery and your card.

Ringo-Rollins-Rogers – His famous ribbon and rings routine explained (refers to photos in a past issue of Genii here—but worth the chase).

No Gimmick Card Castle – A selected card appears at the top of a makeshift card castle formed by overlapping cards.

Chop Cup Bit – A unique effect using a ribbon and rings.

Paddle Wheel Flourish – A flashy, eye-catching deck flourish you’ll want to practice.

And more…

Rogers didn’t just fool audiences—he made them laugh, react, and remember him. These 14 re-typeset pages are a must-have for magicians who appreciate the kind of practical material that helped launch Rogers' professional career after he retired from the U.S. Navy.
