More Power to You: The Very Best of David Acer, Hermetic Press, 2011
More Power to You
David Acer is a wildly talented magic creator and performer. He has won awards for his television credits and stand-up comedy, and he published three outstanding books that are now hard to find. In collaboration with Stephen Minch, Acer has assembled the 29 “best” effects in this stunning new book, More Power to You. It gets our highest recommendation. In addition to the tricks, the book is full of sidebars, essays, and other goodies.
The book is written in David’s inimitable style. We usually hate distracting attempts at humor, but David manages to make reading magic fun and funny—a rare treat.
A sample of the material:
- Produce the sound of a cellphone ringing out of thin air before producing the cellphone itself!
- Punch a hole in your business card, then slide it off and place it on the side of a take-out coffee cup, causing coffee to suddenly begin streaming out!
- Magically link a borrowed finger ring onto a borrowed pair of glasses!
- Remove your watch and wave it counter-clockwise to reverse time until the watch vanishes from your fingertips and reappears on your wrist!
- Make an ungimmicked light-bulb from a string of Christmas lights flicker on in your hand, then go dark before you give it away as a souvenir!
- Instantly change places with someone you're standing beside on stage!
