The Newest Tops

Well, you have seen many looks of mine over the years, and now here is the last Pro Photo, taken by Kreigsman in New York.   It was used on the cover of Genii, it was a great article written my Pal John Mac Connell. I look the same they tell me, but don’t forget they all drink to excess!

I told you last time that I would list my  favorite books that I think are the greatest. Number one would always be the great Paul Osborne’s books, all of them!  This man is clearly a genius, just look at all the original illusions he has created. Yes, he revises old ones too. Look at the Big Black Book over a hundred illusions, and he still creates for Genii.    He has been ripped off and copied yet he remains classy and a gentleman.  I have seen so many versions of his illusions that someone else says it’s their invention. I really get pissed at these smucks. (You all know who you are!) Just remember Karma!  His new book  is great, and not that it is dedicated to me.  He has published some of his best that you can buy separate, but he has listed them and has comments, by some well known names offering advice on using these illusions.  And I agree with most of them.   So if you are smart run to get The Great Illusions #3, it is also available at Abbott’s.
