Complete Discussion of Audience Appeals and Fundamentals of
Showmanship and Presentation

the subject of presenting of magic to gain the greatest
audience response, including a detailed analysis of spectator
appeals and how to incorporate them into the presentation of magic.
Step by step, you will learn how to create a favorable reception
through choice of material, style of performance, character of work,
timing, pointing, pacing, building up to climaxes, emphasis, routining,
arrangement of material, and in many other ways. This is the classic
