#1 "Sensational Stunners"

These are the close-up routines that made Jim Ryan a magic legend in the magic circles of the 1960s and '70s when he performed in Chicago as a "Bar Magician". If you learn to perform the routines, in all five booklets of the Jim Ryan Close-up Series, you'll go very far in the world of magic and will not need any other material.

This booklet describes Jim Ryan's Amazing Card Routines, which made him a magic celebrity, in the Chicago bar scene, during the 1960s and '70s. The stories of watching Mr. Ryan perform are now legendary in magic circles.

#4 - "The Famous Cups & Balls Routine"

This was the routine that Jim used to close his close up performances for he found that he could not top it. Laymen scream with laughter and amazement and magicians come back time and time again trying in vain to figure it out.
