A Cavalcade of Magic

Special Lecture Close Up Notes

By Jerry Mentzer

We have a very few copies of Jerry Mentzer's Lecture from his 1997 tour. As with all of Jerry's writings, he explains the routines in a way that You need not have attended his lecture to understand the notes. Just take a look at the listed contents below and you'll probably find something of interest. Every item in this set of notes is mostly geared toward close-up presentations

Many of the items included have not been published in his other books. However several of the effects were released as separate products with the needed props.

Jerry also presented & offered a set of notes on his Stage & Club Items as well, see those Notes elsewhere on this website.

Special Note: While the Notes explain the routine and in many cases how to make the props as well, we have many of the items listed are already manufactured for this of you that don't want to take the time. Just search the title on this site to find if the item is available.
