Comments: Illustrations by Colin Woodman. Consulting magicians Anthony Owens and Marc Paul. Includes a lot of "top tips for tricksters" with additional hints, tips and magician bios. There is a shorter edition of this book, Rope & Ring Tricks, that I believe includes just the first half of this book, before the Advanced section.
