sell for $10.98 each, postpaid and, to my way of thinking, they are worth much more.
Not only are they packed with practical information with recorded examples but they are recorded in a free and easy style that makes it a pleasure to listen. I think they are great! Wonderful, practical, full of helpful information, entertainingly presented. Get them! You'll thank me ... and Brian Flora.

You have probably read the advertising the Abbott folk must have already launched, by the time you read this. I am referring to their latest book production ... "KARDYRO'S MAGICAL HIGHWAY." This is a well printed, 216 page book with photo cover and clear acetate protective cover sheet, plastic-comb bound.
Tony is a professional who many of us have known for years. I have attended his lectures, worked with him and enjoyed his many offerings. Writer of clever card and bird magic and a good friend. His working efforts were cut short, a few years ago, due to a stroke. This book is evidence of the way he has utilized his "sitting at home" situation and it is a joy to read and learn about his early struggles and the many fine tricks he has presented through the years.
His thoroughness, in a professional way, is evident in his story of the Card In The Orange. A feature trick, in his hands, it underwent
many changes. This is just one of dozens of such stories and insights into his magic.
There are lots of tricks stories galore about other magicians . . . an easy to read book crowded with a lifetime of fun, magic, hard work and a love of the game. The photos are plentiful and this book will delight those of us who have been around a few years, as well as fascinating the newcomer with tales of yesteryear plus a fine array of practical magic and advice.
Abbotts have done a good job in the printing but, Oh! that "Contents" page! It is utter confusion with the listings set in continuous word formation. It necessitates a complete reading to locate any particular item. I would like to suggest a reprint of the "Contents" page, set in proper 'contents' formation (just look at another book) and include the sheet as a paste-in improvement. (If they heed my plea I hope they remember to send one to me. Thanks!) Don't let this minor criticism deter you from buying the book. It is a fine book! Just one poor page! The price of the book is $25.00 plus $3.00 postage and handling . . . from Abbotts, of course!
