Magic Tricks

This book by Gregory Wilson is one of the first books I had on watch stealing (the other was The Art of Theatrical Pickpocketing by Jim Ravel).

This book is excellent.

It includes a routine by Gregory Wilson called Coin on Shoulder, where a coin repeatedly vanishes and appears on the spectator's shoulder. I've performed this effect several times and it's hilarious (to an audience, similar to paper balls over the head).

There are various watch steals taught, including one I haven't seen anywhere else (where you grip the wrist facing the participant directly, and use your thumb to unclasp the band).

5 stars all the way.
