My Week With A Stripper by Bill Goldman – Book

From the book’s INTRODUCTION:

I just spent a titillating week with a stripper. DECK, that is. And did I get lucky!

I always carry a deck of cards. This week, I grabbed a deck, put it in my pocket and away I went. It took half a day for me to realize it was a stripper deck. Until now, I thought a stripped deck was like a Svengali deck – something for beginners. A pitchman’s product, something you buy at a flea market.

The more I used the deck, the more possibilities came to light. Forces, controls, demonstrations of skill, impossible locations. At the Florida State Convention, I fooled magician after magician, not once using the standard pitch routines or handlings.

The first effect really excited me. I developed it while driving my car and interestingly enough, without the deck in hand. I visualized it over and over wondering if it would really work. Does it ever! Is it worth the price of this book? For me, it’s worth a dozen books.

What follows is the naked truth laid bare – it’s my week with a Cincinnati stripper.
