Get Your Act Together by James Alburger

Subtitled: Producing an Effective Magic Act To Music, this 1978 book has dated but deep detail on the fine art of producing a complete act.

“In the many years I have been performing as a magician and reading magic books and articles, I have found only a very few authors who have revealed the secrets of developing routining, practicing and performing magic successfully. Most of these authors have provided a great deal of extremely valuable information for the magic fraternity. But, unfortunately, much of their information is presented in terms of how an act should be presented, rather than explaining how the amateur or semi-professional entertainer can actually put his own act together so that it is the way it should be.”
