"Sooner or later you're going to have to buy these books. Very highly recommended!"
Michael Close

"For me, the strongest testimony to the caliber of Paul's material is that after some fifteen years, many of his routines (and variations thereof) still remain firmly entrenched in the bedrock of my repertoire. Routines such as Reset, Las Vegas split, Double Monte, A Subtle Poker Move, Quarter Caper, Fantasy Aces, Uncanny, Open Revelation, Las Vegas Leaper, and A Simple Switch -- Just to name a few."
Gregory Wilson

What the publisher says...
The complete, Ultimate Paul Harris Collection. This three-volume set of books contains all of Paul's classics, updated and refined, as well as 73 brand-new creations ! All in all, these books contain over 900 pages of Paul Harris including a ground-breaking essay discussing the feeling of astonishment as our natural state of mind. There are also six conversations with Eric Mead about effects that are too weird even for Paul.

We pulled just a very FEW of the tricks out of the table of contents to give you an idea of what you get with this series :

Volume 1 includes :
Light and Heavy Dime (like the "Card on the Ceiling" with a dime), Lip Balm (a coin box effect), Ultimate Rip-Off (torn and restored card), Creation (production of a live moth), Shell Shock (a marked coin in an egg), Tunnel Vision (a disappearing illusion), and many more...

Volume 2 includes :
Counterfeit Spectator (on a borrowed dollar bill, the printed signature of the U.S. Treasurer transforms into the spectator's name), Swiss Movement (animate an ungimmicked Swiss army knife), Cincinnati Two-Faced Blues (an advertising card turns into a real object), Fizz Master (carbonation travels from one liquid to another), McGimmick (levitate a milkshake using only your finger, then vanish it), Osmosis (linking card routine), and many more...

Volume 3 includes :
Shape of Astonishment (imprint of a quarter on a piece of foil instantly changes from heads to tails), Hot Chocolate (a flat Hershey wrapper instantly inflates to the real thing), Anything Deck (unusual prediction effect), Peanut Butter and Jellyfish (impromptu levitation), Bat Fishing (match eight selected cards to eight dollar serial numbers), Leaf (torn and restored houseplant), Shuffling Lesson (get a spectator to unknowingly shuffle, cut and deal a winning hand), and many more...

Three hardbound volumes each containing over 300 pages !...
A total of 222 effects with 73 brand new creations !...
