Handsome Jack etc. (Signed) - John Lovick

Written by male model/master magician Handsome Jack (with footnotes by John Lovick), this treatise is a rarity in the magic world: it's as funny (and attractive) as it is instructive. Handsome Jack, etc. details twenty stand-up (and close-up) routines with complete scripts, histories, and commentary on their development and performance. In addition to Jack's urbane descriptions, Lovick provides two essential essays on the subjects of scripting and persona. A deluxe 212-page hardcover with two-color text, thirty original caricatures, and an introduction by Penn & Teller. This is one hardbound collection sure to turn heads - just like Handsome Jack. Hardcover (with paper half dust jacket), 212 pages, Title Page INSCRIBED by Handsome Jack IMPORTANT NOTE: Overall book is in great condition except the former owner has pasted his nameplate, as well as small photos of the magicians that are mentioned throughout this book, on the inside front cover, onto facing page as well as title page.
