"Lance Pierce's World-Famous Bowl Routine
is one of the best trick-based magic books
I have read in a long time."
Brad
Henderson
MAGIC Magazine
I once believed I would never write a book
(let alone a series of books) about my own magic, but also told myself
that if I ever did, it would be the kind of book I wanted to read -- fully
packed with all the details and little nuances that make a routine work.
Now we have The Professional Entertainment Series, and each one
covers different routines that have been hammered and hardened over
hundreds -- no, thousands -- of performances.
"I know of no other
book that teaches
so many lessons in so few pages."
Barrie Richardson
M-U-M Magazine
The first is now available -- a routine for
the Bill in Lemon effect that some magicians have called the best they've
ever seen. It begins when the magician borrows a twenty-dollar bill from
an audience member. After the spectator signs his name on it, the bill
suddenly and completely disappears in a barehanded vanish. The magician
then segues into a Benson Bowl routine, where balls appear and disappear
from under a bowl. Things get more and more out of hand, but just when the
audience can't take any more, the performer lifts the bowl to reveal a
fresh lemon! He
cuts the lemon open and finds inside the signed borrowed bill!
If that weren't enough, you'll find a bonus routine with sponge balls --
one I've used for 20 years that's very well received by audiences
everywhere. Together, these make two of my favorite routines to perform
anytime, anywhere.
"Lance
definitely delivers the goods,
and I'll be getting all the rest
of the books in the series.
You should do the same!"
Harold

Every detail is included, not a word of
patter overlooked. More than that, though, in exploring the moves, the
method, the timing, rhythm and pacing of the routine, you'll discover
things that you'll apply to ALL your magic. You may find yourself
reworking other routines you do in light of what you find in these.
My goal is not only to share these routines with you, but to go beyond
them into the field of close-up magic itself. I've learned a lot just by
working on and performing these routines. I promise you'll find things in
these books that will make you think, consider and explore....
"The magic is amazing
and the presentations are funny and entertaining. The value in that alone
is worth much more than the price. In fact if this sold for $60, it
would be well worth it."
Steve Pellegrino

"I simply cannot imagine
anyone having any difficulty comprehending the instruction,
and the clear
writing along with the clear, beautiful illustrations make this book
as
close to personal instruction as one could hope for...."
