Tricks of My Trade (The Magic of Doug Conn) by Paul Cummins is a comprehensive collection of close-up magic featuring the work of magician Doug Conn. Originally released in 1999, this edition is the third printing and features a redesigned cover.

Cards, coins and close-up magic

The book primarily focuses on card and coin magic, while also exploring routines with sponges, dice, rubber bands and other small props. The material is particularly suited to close-up, table-to-table and strolling performances and is aimed primarily at intermediate magicians.

Doug Conn's approach combines familiar plots with his own creative variations and ideas. The material emphasises elegant sleight of hand, logical presentations and practical routines designed for real-world performance.

32 routines and effects

The book contains 32 routines. Among them is Chameleon Sandwich, a colour-changing deck routine with a psychological kicker, and Triumph Tools, Doug Conn's distinctive handling of the classic Triumph plot.

ESJoker uses a Joker to reveal two spectator selections, while Particle Press explores a coin production move used in reverse. In Fit to Be Tie'd, a coin vanishes before being reproduced using a necktie.

Taking it Dice and Easy combines dice and playing cards, while Rubber Revelation uses a rubber band in the production of four of a kind. Tricked Traveler is an Invisible Palm Aces routine employing a clever gaffed card.

Conn's Fusion sees two selected and marked cards visually fused together, while Evening Up the Odds presents a Matrix-style routine using miniature cards and coins.

Expand your close-up repertoire

Tricks of My Trade offers a varied collection of established magical plots alongside creative approaches involving cards, coins and everyday objects. Doug Conn's variations provide intermediate close-up magicians with a substantial selection of material for expanding their working repertoire.
