SHOWMANSHIP
For
MAGICIANS
Cover

Dariel Fitzkee, author of SHOWMANSHIP FOR MAGICIANS, has spent the greater part of his life in the theater. At the age of sixteen he was spending his high school vacations with a tent repertoire dramatic show, playing parts and performing magic specialties between the acts His first writing experience was acquired during a year prior to entering college, which time was spent in newspaper work. Newspaper work helped pay his expenses while he was attending university.

Afterwards he wrote and directed amateur theatrical productions for one of the largest producers of this type of entertainment for fund raising purposes. His theater experience has included dramatic work, vaudeville, chautauqua, musical, motion picture theater presentations, night club and legitimate theater, which latter included his own full-evening all magic revue. For several years he was in the theater and stage equipment field, during which time he designed and supervised the installation of the equipment in one of the world's largest opera house stages.

He is a member of the Parent Assembly, New York, of the Society of American Magicians, and he holds honorary memberships in a number of other magical organizations. He has been successively second and first national vice president of the S.A.M. and has been, as well, Pacific Coast vice president of the National Council S.A.M. As a member of the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians he was a member of the Board of Governors for several years and also held office as its first vice president.

In private life now, he is an acoustical engineer and has contributed valuable research and scientific material to this field, including to the foremost authority in acoustics, the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Among his works on magic, in addition to SHOWMANSHIP FOR MAGICIANS, are several important hooks. These include THE TRICK BRAIN, MAGIC BY MISDIRECTION, THE STRANGE INVENTIONS OF DR. ERVIN, CONTACT MIND READING, LINKING RING MANIPULATION, JUMBO CARD MANIPULATION, THE ONLY SIX WAYS TO RESTORE A ROPE. For several years he contributed a monthly feature article in Genii, a magical magazine.

The late Caryl Fleming, then president of the Pacific Coast Society of Magicians, once called him "One of the best informed men in magic." This sentiment was also expressed by Mr. William Larsen, editor of Genii, who at another time said his was "One of the most logical minds in magic," as well.

"He has succeeded…in treating with a surprising degree of thoroughness each of the many phases of the subject…We regard SHOWMANSHIP FOR MAGICIANS as worthy of careful and repeated readings by every magician…We cannot imagine any magical enthusiast reading the book without being goaded into thought…(It) sets forth definite, specific measures…for making magic entertaining…We regard this book as an important contribution to magical literature—the best treatise on showmanship that we expect to see for many a day…"—PAUL FLEMING, professional magician of many years experience and well known book reviewer, in the second longest review he has written to date.

FRAKSON, great Spanish magician, and Music Corporation of America Star, says: "It is a most wonderful, wonderful book—perhaps the greatest book ever written on magic! It shows a very good knowledge of the whole psychology of the theater. Everything is there."

"As far as I'm concerned the sky's the limit on what you can say for me. It's great."—RUSSELL SWANN who plays only the smartest nightclubs and hotels.

"The book should be studied, not merely read, by every individual who performs magic in public, or whoever hopes to do so…ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMENDED."—JOHN MULHOLLAND, editor The Sphinx and experienced professional magical lecturer.

"It's the best thing in magic in the past 10 years…"—EDDIE CLEVER

"Everyone should read and study it…(It) will add that professional touch. All sound advice…Invaluable."—MAX HOLDEN, former Orpheum and Keith star.

"A new book—a great book—and one that should be read and reread by everyone who dares call himself a magician…Beg, borrow or steal it, BUT READ IT.…"—BOB WEILL

"Not since 1911, when 'Our Magic' appeared, has there been such a book…This work is invaluable. His logic is crystal clear and he hits the nail on the head in every chapter."—JOHN BRAUN, editor The Linking Ring.

"It positively will become a dependable guide for those who have even an inclination to entertain with magic…Something which cannot fail to be helpful... Indispensable"—T. J. CRAWFORD

"Congratulations…Excellent!"—STUART ROBSON, former stage manager for Ziegfeld's Follies

"A post graduate course in essentials for selling yourself and your show."—LEO RULLMAN, former professional, now dealer in current and rare magical books.

"Vital and helpful information…The 'pay-off' book."—BOB NELSON

"Many interesting pages are crammed with much needed information. All magicians should read it and most should apply its teachings."—WILLIAM LARSEN, The Genii
