Comments: From Book One, ""Two Meters is the distance between the front row of the audience and where the magician stands facing it. ... This pamphlet has been designed for the guy who will go out on a Saturday afternoon and stand in someone else's back yard and perform for an audience made up of twenty kids and ten adults." There were at least four books in this series that I've seen reference to.
