FETSCHING MAGIC




Hen Fetsch was one of Magic's greatest contributors and inventors.  This long awaited and much anticipated book about the man and his magic contains over 130 original ideas and effects created by Hen Fetsch.

Hen Fetsch is probably best known today for Mental Epic, an award winning effect which is a feature of the performances of many notable magicians.  (Tin City Magic has a very nice Mental Epic in stock if you're interested in adding this effect to your act.)

Hen Fetsch wrote the excellent book "Milk Pitcher Magic" which we still sell at Tin City Magic, and also developed many original effects using miniature cards, canes, playing cards, rope, silk, coins, and more.   

He was a prolific inventor, and his original creations are well documented in this book.  It describes his Repeat Ropes, Chinatown Coin, Silk Epic, Stretching Rope, Surpasso!, Symbologic, Breaking the Sound Barrier, and many more.  It even includes his marketed effect Quad-Ropelets, which was the inspiration for the classic Professor's Nightmare.

This is an incredible tome of one man's love for Magic and his joy in sharing with others.  Every aspect of his creations are revealed with detailed instructions, line drawings, and original ad copy.

The book also includes a fascinating biographical section with many great stories about his life and his influence on the art of magic.

This book is a must for anyone wishing to add something new to their act, as a source of fresh ideas, and as a great addition to any library.  

Highly recommended.  Hard-bound 8.5" x 11" format with dust jacket.  Over 200 pages.  Written by Robert Kirkwood Spencer.  Available now at Tin City Magic.
