THE BLURB:
Now reprinted yet again with a new cover design
This book was first published in hardback in 1983 and
reprinted twice. Then it was released as a quality large
format softback and now it has been printed twice as a
softback. Copies have just arrived from the printers and the
book looks great with its new front cover and excellent
printing. The book is A4 in size is beautifully printed and
the first edition has become a collector's item for
mentalists and Al Koran enthusiasts.
The book contains 93 pages and takes virtually every Al
Koran effect as performed on TV. It analysis the effect and
the method, then provides the exact words of patter as used
by Al Koran.
There is a listing of all the books in Al Koran's library by
Terry Seabrooke and Jack Avis contributes material on Al
Koran. Al Koran is introduced by Goodliffe and Billy McComb
also provides a comprehensive article on Al and his
lifetime.
Over 42 effects are detailed and described and the book is
illustrated with drawings and photographs.
Only 100 copies have been released in this new printing so
don't delay, place your order now to avoid disappointment.
MY COMMENTS:
[At the time of this writing, there are just a handful left.
Order yours now as this may be out of print again for quite
some time.]
This is a classic book featuring material that Al Koran
performed on TV. Most of the material is mentalism related.
I actually found the non-fiction pieces by Goodliffe,
Ducaine, McComb, etc., far more interesting, but this is one
of those books that is definitely worth being in your
library. This book is softbound, 93 pages, and A4 sized (9"
x 11" approx).
