Al Schneider Magic by L&L Publishing 

In the world of magic literature, where there's an overabundance of the
ordinary, every so often, a book comes along that clearly stands out from the
rehashed and recycled norm. A book that, even on casual perusal, demands to be
studied for a lifetime. A book that represents the life's work of one of magic's
most gifted artists. It's a rare occurrence when a magic book of such high
caliber is produced, but at long last, the wait is over. It's time for Al
Schneider Magic.

Al Schneider's place in magic history would be secure
if the now-classic "Matrix" effect was all he ever created but, as it turns out,
"Matrix" was merely the tip of the iceberg. Al Schneider has devoted his life to
not only creating great magic but in uncovering exactly what it is that makes
magic effective for audiences and it's that analytical approach to creating
powerful magic that informs all of the effects taught in this landmark work. Al
Schneider Magic secures his reputation as not only one of magic's great creators
but also as one of its great theoreticians.

There are tricks with coins,
cards, cups and balls, napkins, bracelets, finger rings, and more. One could
easily build a complete close-up act from the material presented here. And, if
you think you know what "Matrix" is all about, wait until you read the
comprehensive treatment of the effect that you'll find in this book, including a
discussion about its complete history, the philosophy of the effect, its many
variations, and more…and all from its creator.

In a day and age when
single-trick DVDs can cost $30.00 or more, you'll find more magical value in
this book than perhaps any other single investment you've ever made in magic. It
may be that Al Schneider said it best. When asked to summarize the value he
believed Al Schneider Magic held, he simply said, "You are guaranteed to get
something from this book that you will use for the rest of your life. What is
that worth?" Hard cover binding, full-color dust jacket.
