Over 50 ITEMS from over 20 MAGICIANS in over 240 PAGES, with over 180 PHOTOGRAPHS!
If you ever heard the expression magic underground and wondered what were the secrets being shared by the elite, this is your chance to take a small peek at the underground tricks and techniques that we're being tossed around in the early 1990s.
In 1993 Jon Racherbaumer started a quarterly magazine called MO which stood for Modus Operandi. It is where many trendy and groundbreaking routines and techniques were being shared. Some of these items have since been exposed while others remain hidden. You may have seen variations or even purchased some of these as single trick DVDs.
