Impromptu by Martin Gardner
In association with The Miracle Factory, Magic Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Impromtu AKA The Encyclopedia of Impromptu Magic. More than 10 years ago, Todd Karr from Miracle Factory, in collaboration with Jay Marshall and Martin Gardner set upon the formidable task of expanding and updating Martin Gardner's Encyclopedia of Impromptu Miracles. The project has been a formidable one, and along the way, we have lost both Jay Marshall and Martin Gardner. Yet they both would have been proud to have this new edition on their bookcase!
