Roy Schubert - A Few Favorites

I’m glad to have the opportunity to describe some of my effects. The five routines described in this manuscript are all practical and very effective, and none involve stooging or pre-show work. Some of the secrets are quite subtle however and rely on the fact that different people can perceive the same events in different ways. All I all, I think you’ll find that each effect is straightforward, uses only relatively simple props, and is quite deceptive. Some of the routines will demand a little effort on your part to put together, but hopefully that won’t deter you from assembling them and trying them out. I’m pretty sure you’ll be glad that you went through the effort if you do.
Special thanks go to long-time friend Joe Zabel for proofreading the manuscript and offering many constructive ideas over time. We’ve had a lot of laughs over the years. Of course my wife Ann gets more thanks than I can possibly express. Her support over the years has been priceless.
Now onto a few favorites…
