Description
In this book Borodin reveals for the first time routines from his performing repertoire that he has used very successfully as a mental magician, a bizarrist, and a story teller. The 24 routines from the original German publication are contained here, plus an additional 12 new routines that were prepared especially for the English edition.
No matter whether your taste leans toward the bizarre or you prefer stories with a moral, there will be something in here that you can enjoy and which will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of how story magic can and should be done. There are several different kinds of routines within these covers. Some are very spooky, others humorous, still others, spiritually uplifting. And there is some excellent mental magic too.
No matter whether your taste leans toward the bizarre or you prefer stories with a moral, there will be something in here that you can enjoy and which will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of how story magic can and should be done.
