In 1968 Jon Racherbaumer cobbled together a pastiche of ideas and tricks from one of the great unsung magicians of our time, Eddie Fields, into his first book. Rewritten, reillustrated and expanded to over triple its original size, The Greater Artful Dodges of Eddie Fields now contains almost 70 incredible tricks, tips, sleights and stories. It’s stuffed with fascinating never-before published stories about Fields’ life and tricks, plus magic from Ed Marlo, Bob Sheets, Paul Cummins and others.
Those who have read the first edition already know that Eddie Fields is one of the most complex and fascinating magicians and mentalists to live in the 20th century. Most of Fields’ magic doesn’t depend on difficult sleight of hand, but on the subtle use of key cards, daub, nail nicks and other sneaky bits of business. The effects are inflated into major miracles through the use of a presentational style the author has taken great pains to convey in this new edition.
