Comments: Illustrations by Sid Lorraine. A manual on Restaurant Magic. From Morrissey Magic: "The text is divided into three sections-the first is on general guidelines for dealing with the employer and the audience. The second deals with the elements of an act and finally a discussion on equipment and paraphernalia." The Chop Cup routine is NOT included in Shute's How-To on the Chop Cup book.
