Volume II - A Kind of Magic
"These are actual routines that he has used throughout his legendary career. It is all there!"Lance Burton
A foreword by David Williamson sets the tone for this amazing first-hand look at Wayne’s most popular effects for close-up, stage, and even TV.
Co-written by Bob Gill, this volume teaches you the close-up favorites Wayne performed on TV like “Coins to Glass” and his one-of-a-kind “Homing Death Card” routine. Wayne also dives into how he reframes classic stage illusions with routines like his take on the “Million Dollar Mystery” and the always popular “Tossed Deck Pro”.
No stone is left unturned as Wayne gives you the real work behind these special effects; the subtleties you need to bring the house down. Everything from how he wins over crowds with his opener, to the script for his iconic “Voices” routine—which is widely considered to be one of the best broadcast performances ever and is being shared in full for the first time. As Wayne’s MS diagnosis has impacted his mobility in recent years, he even discusses how he’s modified material to make it more hands-off.
