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.
