The book’s subtitle is: “A most unique selection of distinctive close-up magic from the extraordinary repertoire of a professional Tricky Bartender.”

In addition to the excellent magic that is described in the book, there is an extensive section that discusses the art of being a magician in a bar and how to approach and excel in that environment. It is likely the best writing on the subject.

Routines include: The Skil Saw Compatibility Test, Froggy Goes A Courtin, The Signed Card In The Watch, The Marked Coin To Pocket Watch, The Marked Coin In The Sugar Packet, My Lady’s Teddy Bear, Poor Charlie Smith, The Rising Cards, The Borrowed Bill In Cigarette, The Scotty York Light Bulb, Shuffling Off Lucille, and more.
