Chicago Bar Magic by Randy Wakeman
Performed by Randy Wakeman before random, live audiences . . . then explained and taught in full detail.
Over the 1950s, 1960's, and through the 1970’s a brand of bold and direct close-up magic was developed in Chicago, Illinois. These effects were known for simplicity, clarity, and strength of effect, and the POWERFUL response they elicited. Chicago magical legends Don Alan, "Heba Haba Al" Andrucci, "Senator" Clarke Crandall, Frank Everhart, Jack Murray, Johnny Paul, James Patrick Ryan, and Matt Schulien forged their reputations with these effects, and now you can too.
While these quick, direct, simple, baffling effects delighted Chicago audiences for decades, they were far less widely known and practiced outside of Chicago nightlife venues. Many of these terrifically effective pieces have evaporated into the ether, for no other reason than they are not the "latest." To say that you could make your living performing these eternal impossibilities is beyond dispute. Many of our most talented trailblazers have done precisely that!
NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! If you're just getting your feet wet in close-up entertainment, let this information serve as a springboard for mastering quality magic. If you're a close-up veteran, you'll find yourself wondering why you aren't performing these gems regularly. It's our suspicion that you soon will be!
All are performed before impromptu audiences, and clearly taught so that you can perform these treasures with unprepared objects in no time flat!

A Visit With Heba Haba Al Video
The only videotape ever released of one of Chicago's most beloved bartender/magicians, the "Great Heba Haba."
"How wonderful that this footage has been preserved for the charm, the methods,and the trick selection of the man Jay Marshall described as "the grandfather of bar magic in Chicago" are there to be studied and learned from. Even when you know what he is doing, and if you know card magic you will, he will still amaze you with the ease and the confidence with which he does it. Remembering that he may have had three tricks going on at once will only increase your awe. Highly recommended." – Phil Willmarth
