Magic that has rewarded me with repeat bookings time and time again. While the majority of the book is on parlor and stage, there are still plenty of stunning close up effects described. Including the details of my close-up cardiographic.

When you catch the subtle word play in the title of the book you realize that much of the material requires a little construction and handiwork is required to bring the routines into being. That's why the writing and illustrations are so important. I am not much of a "do it yourself" guy, but Lewis guides you with a quiet expertise. So here's the bottom line: if you do stand-up magic (whether or not you're a do-it-yourselfer) you need this book. If you're looking for close-up magic that won't bust your chops, you need this book. Or if you're just interested in seeing how one of magic's premier creators designs his miracles, you need this book. For what you get, the price is ridiculously low. Making Magic is one of the best magic books I've ever read. Buy it; you won't regret it. It has my highest recommendation."The book's title is literal. To perform most of the effects in this book, you must make the magic props. Now, don't start whining or stop reading! Apart from a few props that require special material and professional construction, the construction of the props isn't difficult. You don't need special skills. You do need to follow Mr. Lewis's clear directions carefully. Connington, James (15 January 2016). "Martin Lewis appeals directly to David Cameron in letter on student loans". The Daily Telegraph.

In "Teletop," a participant freely selects an ESP symbol and places it aside without looking at it. The performer introduces a small, wooden spinning top, and a board decorated with ESP symbols. He spins the top on the board. The top circles the board and comes to rest on the selected symbol.

Threesome" is Mr. Lewis's eye-popping version of Robert Harbin's "Card in Bottle." The performer displays three small, clear bottles. Three audience members each select a card. The performer seals the cards in an envelope which is initialed. A selection visibly appears in each bottle. The performer tears up the envelope, proving that the three cards are gone. In "Human Brain Vivisection," the performer invites a participant on stage and kills him by plunging two daggers into his head. The sobbing, babbling performer is dragged off stage.
