SYNOPSIS:
Encore 3 is the third volume in Michael Ammar’s acclaimed Command Performance Series, collecting audience-tested routines from Ammar and many of the leading close-up performers of the era. Rather than focusing on a single branch of magic, the book offers a diverse repertoire of professional material with cards, coins, bills, sponge balls, and everyday objects, emphasizing effects that are practical for restaurants, cocktail parties, trade shows, and walk-around performances. Featuring contributions from magicians such as Roger Klause, Michael Gallo, Harry Levine, Doug Bennett, Tony Miller, and Mark Lefler, Encore 3 has become a modern classic because of its emphasis on strong commercial magic that has been proven by working professionals. Ammar himself notes that much of the material formed the backbone of his professional close-up repertoire for over a decade.
