Book of close-up magic created by Marc DeSouza, published in 2001, featuring 12 items from his working repertoire, and, as a bonus, his presentation for Gary Ouellet's three-shell routine, Supershells, which distinguishes itself from the original by, among other things, concluding with a vanish of the shells and pea. Hardcover with dustjacket, 142 pages, photo illustrated, published by The Camirand Academy of Magic.
