The Real Deal – A Magician Prepares By Dennis Loomis
Introduction and Interview by Michael Close
Foreword by Gene Anderson
In The Real Deal – A Magician Prepares you’ll find sage advice, handy tips, time-saving suggestions, full-blown routines for stage and stand-up, routines for children (for both school assembly and party venues), memorized deck information, and great stories and reminiscences. The final chapter includes several of Dennis’s articles about his long-time friend Doug Henning. Don’t skip that chapter; in it, Dennis explains the evolution of one of the iconic illusions of the twentieth century – an illusion he helped popularize.
Even if you never perform any of the routines in this ebook, you’ll find ideas you can apply to your own routines – ideas that will save you time and money. This, of course, is the great gift an experienced professional can bequeath to the magic community. Dennis did the work; he identified the problems, solved them, and shared the solutions. I wish he was still around to continue that process, but I’m grateful for what he left behind. As you work your way through this ebook, I know you’ll feel that way, too.
Four chapters devoted to hints, tips, and practical suggestions, twenty chapters with complete stand-up routines, great stories from the road, a chapter with stories about Doug Henning, a chapter on memorized deck magic, and an interview with Michael Close. Truly something for everyone in this special book.
