Not Primigenial by Roger Montandon and Logan WaitNot Primigenial
by Roger Montandon
and Logan Wait

This pair of funnymen have combined to present twenty-six effects, bits, and gotchas for magicians and mentalists to liven up their act.

The various items used include money (bills and coins), cards, cigarettes, cigars, and rope.

Especially good is "It's a Matter of Money," which is based on an Annemann principle but uses money instead of cards. It's one you will want to put in your act right away.

Professional entertainers gladly pay $100 each for a single joke or gag to add to their act. In that case, there are thousands of dollars worth of great material here. You can't afford NOT to add it to your working library, and from there into your act. Gordon M. Howatt's illustrations help capture the funny mood, as well.

"Not Primigenial" contains eighteen tricks or stunts with money, matches, smokes and other objects always at hand; also eight good laugh gags. We feel all readers will find items fresh and pleasing to their fancy, as we did. Further, by using either of the cute bill bets explained, you can readily make yourself several times the price of this appealing, illustrated booklet. (Tom Bowyer)
