Magic of Steven Hamilton by Douglas Cameron

Details: Steven Hamilton was a phenomenal magician!

Skillful, passionate, modest, humorous, charismatic… and in his short life, he did it all” cards, close-up, cabaret, table hopping, comedy, books, lectures and his own magazine.

All that, and he held down a day job!

But it was cards and close-up where he truly excelled, performing powerful original material with such delicacy and ease that you’d think it was real magic.

In fact, the best magicians in Scotland would make him run through the methods just so they could see the invisibility and beauty of his sleight of hand technique.

I’ve seen Steve do all the magic in these pages, and you cannot imagine how strong it is until you read it… and do it!” Jerry Sadowitz
