In a Class By Himself book Don Alan
"
This landmark work has finally been fully and dramatically captured in multi-faceted, multi-mediated form by Jon Racherbaumer, and L & L Publishing is proud
to offer a vital masterwork written the way magic books should be written. Not
only are all of Don Alan's signature tricks explained in meticulous detail, but his unique format, important sub-text, psychology and presentation - the life-blood
of what set Don Alan apart from the rest, is fully explained. These are the
aspects which made his entertaining routines the prevailing paradigm of 20th
Century Close-up Magic. You will get an inside look at what made Don Alan
the most talked about and most copied close-up entertainer of all time.
And you will learn the whys and hows of his synergistic routine-making
and the all-important underlying themes: the Circle of Fun, the uses of
environmental and personal spaces, picking players, timing, control,
momentum, interrogation strategy, and much more . . .
""With this book, whole new generations of magicians will not only discover who originated so much of what they take for granted, but also will have the opportunity to study some of the most influential and important and wonderful presentations and routines in all of close-up magic.""
