“Well, here we go again. It’s hard for me to realize that my first book Kornfidentially Yours was written and published over fifty years ago. And according to Magic Inc (Jay and Frances) it’s still a good seller. Well, it’s nine books later, and I’m still saying that everything in this book is useable. It has all been audience tested by me (personally) and is guaranteed to be commercial, and all of the effects are easy to do. If you have any of my previous books you know that I don’t waste space with long-winded explanations. I give as much information as you need to do the trick and leave plenty of room for you to add your own ideas and original twists to the effect.
