Clever, quirky, original, commercial, funny, different, practical—these are just some of the words you can use to describe the magic of Nathan Kranzo.

In this collection of his ideas for stand-up and close-up magic, you’ll find magic to suit a wide range of tastes and audience types. With effects ranging from visibly sliding a tan line up your arm to enabling a spectator to cut to the four Aces, Nathan combines raw ingenuity with extensive magical knowledge to produce magic that is always interesting and usually utterly baffling.

And running through all the material is the Kranzo sense of humor, which is at one moment subtle and mischievous, and the next raw and basic! He loves to have fun with his spectators, and while much of the magic in this book includes his comedic presentations, Nathan also explains a number of great visual gags that you can incorporate directly into your act. Nathan’s audiences love his memorable magic, and so will you!
