Duraty - Irresistible Close-Up Magic

 

PDF

 

The best routines of a french magician well known for his creativity and efficiency.

 

Duraty says: "The effects gathered in this book represent more than 40 years of close-up performances. Endowed with just an average skill, I always gave preference to the most practical and easiest methods for I consider that effects are the only part that counts. I perform magic to amaze and surprise lay audiences rather than showing off in front of other magicians.

 

In my opinion, skill must remain hidden, flourishes and magical juggling demonstrations are not compatible with the idea I formed of magic, Real Magic. Hence this book offers routines using a variety of objects and, next to the great classics revisited like the cups and balls or the Chinese linking rings, you'll find impromptu tricks and unusual creations.
