Lou Gallo: The Underground Man - Richard Kaufman and Mark Phillips
For many years, Lou Gallo was a
fixture at Eddie Fechter's Forks Hotel in Cheektowaga, New York, the site of the
famous Four F's Convention each April. No one had a reputation for being
more cunning or ruthless than Lou Gallo.
The experience of learning from Fechter has produced in Lou Gallo one of the
most potent performing combinations ever released on a brother magician:
apparent simplicity in handling mixed with a devious method blended with a sly
innocence embodied by the performer. The result is total devastation. While a
few of his effects have been leaked to the magic public over the past 20 years,
and he is best known for one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of any
coin man - The Gallo Pitch, this book contains the first and only expose'
of his many secrets.
Lou Gallo's methods are not based on new-fangled principles, but built solidly
on classical ideas and methods that provide you with close-up weapons beyond the
comprehension of the victims. There are 46 close-up killers in this book,
clearly described and beautifully illustrated. Effects with coins, cards, bills,
sponge balls, even the bare-handed production of a beer bottle. Hardbound.
