Much Ado About Something by Karrell Fox

Details: Excerpt from the Book – The Introduction

“Well, here we go again. It’s hard for me to realize that my first book Kornfidentially Yours was written and published over fifty years ago. And according to Magic Inc (Jay and Frances) it’s still a good seller. Well, it’s nine books later, and I’m still saying that everything in this book is useable. It has all been audience tested by me (personally) and is guaranteed to be commercial, and all of the effects are easy to do. If you have any of my previous books you know that I don’t waste space with long-winded explanations. I give as much information as you need to do the trick and leave plenty of room for you to add your own ideas and original twists to the effect.

I use a lot of snapshots for two reasons. Number one, because you (my readers) have asked for them and number two, because the main thing I’ve gotten from this wonderful profession/hobby is the many lasting friendships it has given me. I wish for you the same luck.

“Enough of this rambling. Go ahead and enjoy the book, and may your dreams be touched by magic.” – Karrell Fox
