Destroyers by Troy Hooser, Joshua Jay, and Vanishing Inc. (Hardcover Book)

This bestselling book is back in stock. Joshua Jay captures the coin and card material of Troy Hooser, one of the most respected working magicians in close-up. These are real-world tricks built for walk-around performing, and they are written up in clear detail with crisp illustrations. Expect coin routines that need no table, a levitating mask, a bottle produced from nowhere and an oddball production of a padlock from a bunch of rubber bands. It is also a look at the thinking behind the methods, which is what makes them so strong. Highlights: 40 sleights and routines Coin and card magic for close-up and walk-around work Routines that work without a table Clear, detailed teaching with illustrations Difficulty: intermediate
