Second edition. Red cloth with gilt stamping on spine, pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated, 220 pages. Near fine condition. A fascinating look at the one-of-a-kind act of a man who was perhaps the world's best bar magician and certainly one of the funniest magicians of his era. Kaufman reveals the real work behind sleight-of-hand feats that helped build Mullica's reputation. Also included is a revealing look at Mullica's reputation-making routine, the "Nicotine Nincompoop," in which Mullica smoked and then swallowed an entire pack of lit cigarettes.
