In this third volume of his Making Magic series Martin presents strong, audience-tested material from his parlor act. He shows you, in a step-by-step hands-on guide, how to make the props on your kitchen table quickly and easily, with only basic tools and materials, needing no special skills. Then, in live performance, see how the apparatus is used to really 'Make Magic.' Here's what you'll learn:

INSTANT COFFEE - Toss a few coffee beans into a paper cup and make real hot coffee appear!

NIGEL - This is a revival of that old chestnut, the Soup Plate and Handkerchief. It features Martin's excellent work on the Gravity Pull.

COUPONS - The beauty of Martin's method in this "Torn & Restored Newspaper" page, is you end clean and can immediately hand out the restored paper for examination!

BANK JOB - The audience helps solve a crime in this highly customizable mystery with a surprise finish.

COAT, ROPES, AND RINGS - Martin has featured this stage-size version of Grandmother's Necklace for over forty years. Here he tips it all in this pack-small, play-big funny, interactive routine.

THE TEST - How do a polka-dot handkerchief and a red gift box placed in a paper bag change places? The audience suspects a switch, so it comes as a huge surprise when you crumple the bag and toss it out.
