All Four Laugh-Packed Volumes. One Low Price!
Smart Talk Volume 1
The first volume in George McAthy's "Smart" comedy series originally published by Tommy Windsor, this publication offers a wealth of solid material for the club magician. McAthy was one of the funniest magicians in the business for many years. Categories include Openings, Random Remarks, Closings, Classified Patter, Patter for Manipulation, Club Chatter, and much more. There are also several complete routines for certain standard effects, like the Egg Bag, Paper Tearing, etc. which can easily be adapted to other effects. As with many of the older comedy books, some of the lines will work "as is," while others require a bit of updating for contemporary audiences. That said, if you like good ol' tongue-in-cheek magic comedy, you are certain to find many lines you can use in your own shows. Plus, Mac's Pet Business - a very clever bit of business for the wallet steal which McAthy marketed separately for many years. If you get nothing else out of this book than this one item, you will have been repaid many times over. 41 pages, completely re-typeset.
