Additional Notes

  • Two routines in this book have at one time or another been sold as separate items - Miniature Bowling Ball from Briefcase and Die of Destiny.
  • Picasso's Bill later reappeared in John Lovick's book, Switch
  • Shapeshifter and Twin Transpo x 2 had previously appeared in The Trapdoor and M-U-M respectively.
  • A performance-only companion video was sold separately, but has recently been converted to DVD and now comes packaged with the book.
