The Sketch-plans

Illusions and illusionettes each one with a new concept or new angle on previous existing ideas. Each contains something new, either the working, the effect, the presentation, the design, the basics, the decor or some other aspect that is given a new look originating from David's 35 years' experience working alongside top magical, and other, star performers and technicians. Here is workable programme material suitable for television, floorshow, stage work, cruising and even pantomime. Nothing is held back: the conceptions go from method to performing suggestions.
