Back To The Launching Pad

Michael Breggar, the award-winning author of "Auto-Magic" (seen monthly in The Linking Ring) is back with another collection of amazing, fun and well-constructed magical pieces. As in his previous best-selling book the"Five Roads to Vegas,"some the effects have been previously published, but they have been further refined with more detailed explanations and performance notes.

True to the "Auto-Magic" mantra, the routines in this book are professional and practical yet none require sleight of hand. As Michael always stresses, since the performance is the effect, the tricks need to be clever, layered, deceptive and, most of all, entertaining.

Michael helps you navigate through each routine with careful descriptions and well-honed patter. However, you can easily adapt each effect to your own style.

Here's what various terrestrial life-forms are saying:

"The clever and talented Michael Breggar, major-domo of the 'Auto-Magic' column in The Linking Ring, has done it again! This time around, he has released a book filled with nine very commercial, baffling and entertaining pieces of magic that you can perform with little or no overt physical manipulation
