Thomas Edison, a bloke who certainly knew a thing or two about brilliance, once said genius was "one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration." In The Award-Winning Magic of John Cornelius, you’ll find genius sprinkled liberally across the pages (and a fair bit of perspiration, too).
John Cornelius is one of magic's most inventive performers and a clever inventor whose routines are in the hands of magicians worldwide. In this eagerly awaited tome, author Lance Pierce dives deep into John's magic, unpacking everything from legendary effects like Marked For Life, The Fickle Nickel, and the clever Shrinking Card Case to the intricate details of John's world-championship-winning card act ("Every Card Trick In The World In Ten Minutes").
The Award-Winning Magic of John Cornelius. No exaggeration here; this title is spot on. This is the magic that not only earned John accolades from his peers but also snagged him one of magic's most prestigious honours—a world prize at F.I.S.M. It’s a peek into the mind of one of the most inventive magical thinkers of our time, a man many have dubbed a creative genius. 192 pages, photo-illustrated.
