Indian Conjuring

An illustrated guide examines street conjuring in India, comparing Eastern and Western approaches and explaining the mechanics and presentation of common tricks. It provides step-by-step descriptions and secrets for routines such as the cup-and-balls, cut-and-restored rope, egg-bag, bamboo-stick manipulations, glass-box illusions, mango-tree and dancing-duck effects, basket and sand routines, and spectacles involving snakes and crocodiles. Interleaved commentary addresses misperceptions and myths, offers performance tips, and uses anecdotes and illustrations to clarify construction and sleights.
