An Evening with Charlie Miller by Robert Parrish - Book

Charlie Miller (1909-1989) is one of the finest sleight of hand magicians of all time. This booklet is a wonderful collection of some of his signature pieces with photos showing Charlie Miller performing the moves and routines. From the introduction by Okito: "I consider Charlie's technique not only original, subtle and entertaining, but above all, highly commercial. In this respect, he is in the tradition of the Old Masters, whose skill could be appreciated by the connoisseur, but who used that skill to keep their audiences highly entertained."
