MATCH-IC
by Martin Gardner
More than seventy impromptu tricks with paper and wooden matches.
A box or book of matches, and this book of Match-ic, and you’re all set to do some of the most fascinating magic you’ve encountered in a long time. It may be on a Lilliputian scale, but the work presented in Match-ic is all there — for cleverness, ingenuity, and adaptability.
This is just the sort of thing that business people want — a bit of magic you can pick out of your pocket as you light your cigar. Pave the way to a friendly contact with your client or customer by interesting them in a magic trick before talking business. Let it be a match trick, casually done with the box of matches just used to light up the smokes.
And for the dinner table — there just isn’t any diversion that interests and fascinates like these little match tricks. Everybody at your end of the table will be engrossed in you — if you do something else with your matches besides dropping them in the ash tray.
The close-up worker will want this book because no matter how much he thinks he knows about match tricks, there's a new one for him in Match-ic.
Match-ic—full of magic, bar bets, gags, laughs, and tricks that have never before appeared in print. Learn all about the Roly Poly Box, the Kiddie Car Gag, the Smoke from Nowhere, and the hand over hand routine that fooled Nelson Downs and kept the boys at the Down’s Convention up until four in the morning.
Match-ic was written Martin Gardner, while he was a student at the University of Chicago. He rejected hundreds of inferior gags and tricks in compiling and writing “Match-ic” so as to assure you of only the most modern version of the most entrancing match work. Nothing like it has ever before been in print.
