Curry incorporated thoroughly engrossing material with a style that was truly elegant. This book by a "magician's magician" discloses the secrets behind a collection of close-up marvels -- including the author's "Out of the World," reputed to be the best card trick of the past century.

About the Author. Paul Curry (1917-1986) was an amateur magician who became famous among veteran magicians for his umpteen tricky inventions. Many magicians have performed Curry's effects and illusions. For example, Doug Henning performed Curry's "Sliding Knot" illusion in one of his TV specials.
Curry's most famous creation, which he invented in 1942 at the age of 25, is a card trick called "Out of This World." It's workings are described in this book.
The Academy of Magical Arts awarded Paul Curry a "Creative Fellowship" award at the Magic Castle, March 12, 1977.
Trivia. "Out of this World" baffled Sir Winston Churchill when he saw it performed in 1942. Churchill asked to see the trick repeated. Violating a rule of performance never to repeat a trick for the same audience, the magician obliged Sir Winston's request six more times, but Winny remained as befuddled as ever. (
