With over 40 years' experience in magic and as one of only a handful of professional magic teachers worldwide, Justin Higham is in a unique position to write about the challenges magicians face in learning and performing magic. This book offers valuable insights into why magicians find it hard to perform impromptu: why they forget their tricks and why things so often do not pan out as expected. �I have learned the trick, the method, the patter, the misdirection, so why is it not working for me? Drawing from�over 3500 individual magic lessons given by Higham over the past 12 years, this guide will help the intermediate student�reach their goal of becoming�an�authentic, spontaneous and confident magician. The real secret as revealed here�is to master magic through improvisation.
