Book is readable and intact but not in great shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst published in 1949, Orville Meyer's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagic in the Modern Manner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a highly regarded text among professional magicians, offering a practical collection of original routines, clever sleights, and refined handlings for classic illusions. Spanning eight distinct chapters, the book covers sleight-of-hand card magic, mentalism (including telephone tests and book tests), novel stage effects, kids' show routines, and deep dives into traditional props like the Chinese Linking Rings and the Cups and Balls. Most notably, it serves as the definitive reference for Meyer’s famous method for the infamous \"Bullet Catch\" trick—the very routine he supplied to legendary mentalist Ted Annemann. Blending creative patter with detailed mechanical breakdowns and clear illustrations, the volume remains a celebrated treasure trove of mid-century performance magic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"hillcountrymagic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43863183949883,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/7751\/1995\/files\/179BA272-E8FB-499F-A04E-E7539BF26527.jpg?v=1784985528","url":"https:\/\/hillcountrymagic.com\/products\/magic-in-the-modern-manner-by-orville-meyer-1st-ed-1949-hc","provider":"hillcountrymagic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
