Résumé :
Twenty-three routines cards, coins, cups and balls devised by David Williamson, fully explained and with line drawings. Williamson's Wonders is the only book ever published on the magic of award-winning magician David Williamson (written by Richard Kaufman) and includes many tricks that have since been featured on national television by David Blaine. This book has many wonderful effects using coins, cards, cups and balls, silks, and a table knife.

The staggering amount of strong material in this thin but dense volume makes it a perennial favorite. Why? Because Williamson has a rare gift for plot innovations. Take the Card to Pocket plot. His “Fifty-one Cards to Pocket” is a modern twist, in which you cause every card EXCEPT a selected one to jump into your pocket. It’s simple yet ingenious. His Cups and Balls (using only two cups) is hilarious and deceptive. David’s “Three Card Trick” is also a modern classic and a fine effect where magic happens DESPITE your best efforts.
