The Master Routine Series - Collected Works

The Master Routine Series first began in 1984 and over the next 20 years a total of 12 routines were released. Originally available as separate instruction booklets, all 12 have now been brought together into one hard backed book thus providing a worthy format for some of my best work.

All the text has been looked at and re-written where necessary and every diagram has been completely re-drawn by magician artist JAMES FORTUNE, and his excellent illustrations make a helpful and stylish addition to the text explanations.

The 12 routines encompass a wide variety of themes for both close up and stand up work. Each one has been carefully thought through, broken down into easy to manage stages, and then thoroughly and carefully described and illustrated in order to give you the very best chance of learning the magic. The routines are:

No.1 - The Commercial Sponge Ball Routine
