Norm Houghton has been wowing and amusing magicians for over sixty years with his frequent contributions to magic magazines. Now, for the first time, his best material, tricks and gags that have stood the test of time, has been gathered in this finely crafted 178 page hardcover book, with new illustrations, additional notes and Norm's famous one-liners! Many tricks have been updated by the author and a few previously unpublished items have been included as well.

The tricks are all easy to do! Norm considers himself a "lazy" magician, requiring very little sleight-of-hand. These tricks are all practical and eminently usable by newcomers and seasoned pros. In addition, most of the tricks are clothed in Norm's trademark humorous presentations that fit virtually any performing style!
