"Stunning effects and jaw-dropping magic!" -Jeff McBride, Creator of the Magic & Mystery School "Jon Allen's magic is so strong and yet so offbeat. And what sets this collection apart is the amount of parlor material he includes. Anyone working on their close-up or stand-up acts would benefit greatly from Experience: The Magic of Jon Allen." -Joshua Jay, Trick Editor at MAGIC Magazine Jon Allen is a man of many talents: he won first place in the close-up magic category at both the International Brotherhood of Magicians and The Magic Circle. He is also the creator of "The Silent Treatment," a best seller and one of the most innovative stand-up magic tricks released in the last decade. He is also one of the busiest magicians in the UK. For the first time ever, Jon Allen is teaching the routines, and ideas he has kept close to his heart. Fifty tricks packed into more than 200 pages, all containing completely polished routines. Also more than 400 photos are included to give you a pleasurable learning EXPERIENCE. Written with the inimitable style and wit of John Lovick, this important book will challenge and delight any lover of magic. Learn the brand of magic that Seinfeld's Jason Alexander called "Brilliant":
Within these covers you will learn professional routines honed over thousands of performances. And you will learn ways to improve the experience of magic for your audiences. Experience the magic of Jon Allen. "This book is the work of a man who thinks. Like many, Jon Allen thinks about method (and the results can be insidious)... but unlike many he also, blessedly, thinks of more than method. Turing a page of this book is like opening a present on Christmas day. And I say this as a Jew." -David Regal "There is a marvelous elegance and economy to Jon's work as a performer and as a creator. Experience does an extremely good job of capturing both!" -Jay Sankey
