Publisher's Synopsis
Holmes' ability to solve crimes is much like that of the magician in his ability to work magic. The magic is rather simple, but the effects are astounding. Now you can combine the thrill and excitement of magic with the mystery and suspense of a spine tingling Sherlock Holmes novel. The stories of Sherlock Holmes have inspired this collection of magical effects designed to baffle your friends, entertain your audience, and stimulate their imaginations. You will be able to thrill and delight your audiences in a way unlike other magicians. The effects in this book are all connected to the legend of Sherlock Holmes and his uncanny ability to solve what seemed to be the most difficult cases. Unlike Holmes, you will be able to solve the crimes by the use of magic. Most of the tricks use simple props you may have around the house, although you may wish to use props that have certain "Holmes Flair" to give it more of a magical feeling. If you enjoy magic, you'll find some interesting twists on some old tricks as well as a few new ideas. All of the tricks are simple enough for an amateur, yet clever enough for the most experienced magician.
