Classic Sampler by Michael Skinner

Details: Michael Skinner was a walking, talking encyclopedia of magic. He was a supremely talented performer with a working knowledge of an impressive amount of amazing tricks and routines. The quantity of his magic, however, was second only to its quality.

Classic Sampler is the largest collection to date of Michael Skinner’s powerful brand of close-up magic. In this slim yet pregnant volume, Michael served up a choice selection of outstanding material from his extensive repertoire.

Classic Sampler showcases Michael’s elegant approach to sleight-of-hand with cards, coins, etc. Here are more than two dozen time-tested, crowd-pleasing, reputation-making tricks—all described by the man who used them to build an enviable career.

Michael Skinner was a two-time winner of the Magic Castle Close-Up Magician of the Year award and appeared twice on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. As Resident Magician for the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas, Michael held his audiences spellbound for more than 20 years. He was also much in demand as a corporate entertainer and Michael Skinner’s Ultimate 3-Card Monte continues to be an all-time bestseller for L&L Publishing.
