Many new magicians underestimate the value of the volumes of information that lies in the old dusty books on the shelves of the magic shops. Most of the ideas within DVDs and instructional videos containing those new flashy tricks come from the tried-and-true methods of famous magicians. This is a book that will provide many ideas that a magician can transform into a modern miracle.

You really can't put a price on this; hundreds of the GREATEST restaurant magicians ever, all doing columns and explaining effects, routines and different tips for restaurant work? If you do ANY restaurant or even walk-around magic, you can't live without this volume or the first.

This is really THE guide for restaurants; the coolest part being that you get opinions from TONS of different people so you can make up your own mind about what tips and tricks you use and how you go about your first (or second, third... etc) restaurant gig.

I really, really like this. Plus, at 37 dollars for almost 400 pages, you really can't go wrong. Please do yourself a favour and pick this up.

Back in the 90's, what started as a small, obscure publication known as The Magic Menu, was destined to become the greatest resource for restaurant magicians. The magic menu ran for over a dozen years, and was retired some years back. This was headed up by Connecticut based magician, Jim Sisti. I own several of Jim's products (including The Magic Menus), and have seen him lecture. Let me tell you, the guy knows restaurants.

The Magic Menu contains essays, articles and stories by some of the greatest magicians of our time (Eugene Burger, Michael Ammar, Michael Close, David Acer, Jay Sankey, Doc Eason, Paul Green, Simon Lovell and tons, tons, tons more). You'll find everything from restaurant mentalism, magic, balloons to how to get gigs, reviews of products, free tricks and soooooooo much more. The Magic Menu has been republished has 3 hard bound books. The three books combined cover every year and every issue of the magic menu. This is an absolute must have for the serious close up magician. Definite GEM!
