Spins & Needles
Spins & Needles is a collection of over sixty magical ideas and brilliant routines created by the one and only Allan Slaight. Also includes: introduction by Patrick Watson, foreword by Max Maven and profile by David Ben.
As an added bonus, the book also contains a brilliant satirical piece by Mike Close, “Unmasking Stewart James,” along with Slaight’s convocation address to the Graduating Class of Ryerson University in 2000.
The book was a surprise for Slaight, presented to him on August 17, 2008 at the closing dinner of 31 Faces North, the conference he co-produces with Magicana in Toronto.
Allan Slaight has made an enormous contribution to magic and we are pleased to be able to tell his story and consolidate a portion of this creative output for future reference.
