This is the 6th book in the McDuff Trilogy. This book explores the rich history of the Money Maker prop (it is at least100 years old!), offers exciting graphics of product ads, catalog illustrations, photographs of the many variations and models, original instructions and routines. There are even 4 complete historic US patents for machines.
Algonquin offers some wonderful NEW routines, gag lines and presentation ideas which will have all magicians rushing to their drawers to retrieve this long-neglected prop!
Distinguished contributors offering their unique and exciting ideas and routines for the Money Maker include Martin Gardner, Al Cohen, Dan Garrett, Warren Stephens, George Schindler, Charles Pecor, and Frank Herman and others. There is even a RARE contribution to a magic book by Dai Vernon’s son, Derek Verner!
