George Sands was no ordinary inventor; he was a wizard of original moves and polished routines that have carved out a permanent spot in magic history. His rope work and card tricks are top-notch, performed by legends like David Copperfield, Jeff McBride, Mac King, and Dick Cavett—because who doesn’t want to follow in those footsteps? When George gave a lecture at the Magic Castle, even Dai Vernon stuck around, ignoring requests to vacate (now that’s some serious street cred).
This book is a treasure trove, featuring seven routines complete with the original 192 illustrations re-mastered by a graphic artist (because, let’s face it, some things just need a bit of sprucing up). It also includes historical commentary and comedy bits crafted by George’s son, Alan Sands. You’ll dive into classics like Sandsational Rope and Sands' Ropesational—the very same routines that have been passed down to countless magicians, now reimagined by Daryl and Michael Finney. It’s a book that deserves a place next to your Tarbell set. And let’s not forget the five additional routines that are bound to become staples in your repertoire (you’ll thank us later).
The accompanying Download features original footage of George performing live for (1) lay audiences, (2) demonstrating and exposing the routines at a lecture, and (3) performing and dissecting the material move for move directly for the camera (because sometimes you just need to see the magic in action).
As Michael Finney puts it, "This book is a MUST for anyone wanting to do ropes."
