'Self-Working Wonders' by Chris Wardle
"Self-Working Wonders presents you with a variety of effects; none with intimidating sleights or moves, all with cleverly well-constructed designs for maximum impact. There are coin tricks, card tricks, mentalism effects, cut and restored magic, routines for family audiences, number magic, and several cool applications of Norman Gilbreath's principles. All are eminently doable, commercial, and ready for you to make them yours. I LOVE Chris's work on the Magic Square and Pseudo-Pyschometry (and you will too). And be sure to spend some time absorbing, then performing, 'Three Thoughts Converge' and 'Triple ACAAN'. I am crazy about good ACAANs and this is a very powerful and practical approach that is highly entertaining. Put the work into this collection of self-workers. You'll have fun learning these effects and more fun melting the minds of your audiences."
