Dedication
I remember a number of years ago when I was feeling despondent because I
thought I’d never come up with anything good of my own in magic. You said,
“Don’t worry! In a few years, you’ll be writing books on your routines!” And I
knew you meant it. Well, you were right! So I dedicate this series of books to
you, my biggest fan, my best friend, my encourager and supporter.
These books are dedicated to my sweetheart and wife,
Kristi Guinn

I NTRODUCTION (A LDO C OLOMBINI )

Scott has the uncanny ability to jump from card magic to parlor magic with the same ease that most of us
use to sing a song. And, by the way, he is also extremely versatile. In case some of you don’t know,
music is another thing that he likes to study. Contrary to myself, Scott has an ear for music while I simply
have an ear for pencils.
I am very glad and proud to be able to say that I inspired some of his work, as you will see in his credits
throughout the books. Scott takes the matter of credits seriously and is very precise about it, for which he
receives my admiration.
He lives in the quiet town of Star, Idaho (near Boise), population 463 if you count the cemetery. Boise’s
name derives from a French word that means ‘made of wood,’ but please do not hold this against the
lovely people of Idaho. Scott makes a living out of working for them on a regular basis, doing close-up,
restaurant magic, stand up and kid shows. And, he does them well! Sometimes he even uses his Italian
accent....
Scott creates magic that inspires enjoyment in the hearts and minds of the onlookers that share his
performances. He is able to ‘touch’ people’s hearts with a sense of wonder, happiness and humor. These
routines have been worked on and refined over many years of presentations to the ‘real’ people (as in ‘lay
audience.’) Try them out, every single one, and see for yourself which ones will fit your personality and
way of performing. I am sure it will be most, if not all, found in his books.
Thanks Scott, for the fun you gave me during our much too rare conversations. And, I’m sure I speak for
all who have been lucky enough to witness your performances when I say, “Thanks for all the great
magic!” As we say in Italy, “Continua in questo modo che vai forte!” And I think that everyone will
agree with this!

wonderful people; some very good performers; some creative individuals. My friend Scott
Guinn is a combination of all the above. Besides being good at performing our art, he is also
very talented, especially when doing the finest impression of Aldo Colombini I have ever seen! So, if
someday you answer the phone and you hear, “Hi, this is Aldo”... be careful because it might be Scott!

F IRST WORD
T his is the third volume of my magic. In this book you will find close up
I originally wrote up the routines in this series in notebook form for my own
benefit, with no aspirations of publication. Through the goading encouragement of
my friends, I have put them into book form. This process has been beneficial for
me, even if no one ever buys the books. It has caused me to think about why I
have constructed the routines as I have, and in many cases, made me see weak
spots that I could not have otherwise improved. In this sense if in no other, writing the books has been
worthwhile.
If you find material here that you can put to use, I will be incredibly honored. Please feel free to contact
me if you have a question, comment, concern, complaint or improvement.
Too often, I have seen good magic performed badly. Either the magician had clearly not put in the
practice and rehearsal, or worse, presented the tricks in an insulting, condescending manner, or worst of
all, both of the above! Please, please do not make these mistakes with this material. I know from personal
experience that every routine in this book entertains and fools people. But if you don’t give the material
and the audience the respect and dedication they deserve, you will not get a good reaction. You will give
yourself and magic a bad reputation. Rather than have you do that, I would have you return the book to
me for a 110% refund. Of course, the best course of action would be for you to practice and rehearse the
tricks and the way you decide to present them, and to understand that you are an incredibly privileged
person to have the great honor of performing magic in front of an audience. Then we all win – you, the
audience, me and most of all, magic!
Warmest Regards and Best Wishes for you and your magic,
Scott F. Guinn
Third
Edition
This edition contains the same routines as the first two editions,
but many photos have been added to aid you in the learning
process. Further, some of the routines have been expanded or
rewritten (some extensively) to make the explanations more
clear. In addition, the material has been reorganized into
chapters. I have always felt this trilogy contained good material.
Now I feel it has a format worthy of the material. Enjoy!
Great Scott! It's More Magic!

routines (none of which use cards or coins) and stand up material
appropriate for banquets, schools, churches, auditoriums, etc. It has been
my goal to present the material as clearly as possible, and all the routines included
are ones that I actually perform regularly in real-world, paid, lay-audience shows.
