And you'll enjoy the short biographies of some of your favorite people.
Vol. 2 – The format of this book is the same as that of VOLUME I. The only difference is that this one is not exclusively card magic. And, it does not contain exclusively impromptu material (although most of the material is impromptu). The 'criterion line" was that I'd allow effects using set-ups and/or minor gaffs–things that most magicians have lying around the house anyway or that can be easily made; nothing major. As in VOLUME I, t's a short biography of each contributor. The biographies of repeat contributors are basically the same as in VOLUME I; they've been updated and changed where necessary.
Vol. 3 – 20 Years in the making now yields volume 3 of Harry Lorayne'sBest of Friends.
Some of the contributors in this volume are: Allan Ackerman, Richard Vollmer, Max Maven, J.K. Hartman, Peter Duffie, Michael Ammar, David Regal, Martin Nash, Joshua Jay, Howie Scharzman, Bob Farmer, Simon Lovell, Aldo Colombini, Doug Edwards, Jeff Altman, Nick Pudar, Sol Stone, Paul Gordon, Kostya Kimlat, Gregory Wilson, Ian Baxter, Bob King, Joe Rindfleisch, Justin Higham, Michael Vincent, Steve Cohen, Tony Noice, Tom Craven, Randy Wakeman, Harry Lorayne…and more!
