Nearly 20 years in the making but now printed. The reviewers in Genii

to Fred and his contribution to magic.

one of the all-time greats; especially with cards."

Peter Duffie and Martin Breese. I envy you."

The Magic of Fred Robinson may well be the most anxiously-awaited book
amongst magicians the world over. It has been in the making for years. Finally
it has been printed. Many magicians have contributed to this book and believe
that it will be the most significant magic book of this decade.
Fred Robinson was a private man but his skill at sleight-of-hand with cards
and coins was legendary. He could be found at the Magic Circle on Monday evenings
and many well-known names from around the world paid homage to Fred and traveled
countless miles to witness for themselves his legendary skills.
He was the editor of Pabular magazine and inspired contributions from
the finest magicians of his time. The Magic of Fred Robinson documents
and describes every effect that Fred performed. It has been written by Peter
Duffie who has skilfully described all of Fred's sleights and effects in the
greatest of detail. There are pages of detailed drawings and photographs and
the book pays tribute to one of the greatest sleight-of-hand magicians the world
has ever known.
