Just out of curiosity, What are a few recent books that have been written about prop management that people have learned a lot from?

They wouldn't have to be recent necessarily, I guess I just find that many of the old books I look into have real dated sections.


Thanks,

Evan

Are you talking about organizing and managing props for storage or during a performance?

I'll take a chance and refer you to the "Magic Management" chapter in "The Magic of Michael Ammar" and the "Putting the Act Together" chapter in "McComb's Magic: 25 Years Wiser."

One of my favorite books, and I rarely see it mentioned is Pocket Power by Jarle Leirpoll. All about pocket management for close-up and parlor performers and features tricks using pockets. Great stuff, check it out.

Ken Weber has in his brilliant well known book for Professional performances-"Maximum Entertainment"
a must for Magicians, with so much info on -Prop Management, Material for your Act
& stage management with the gear you use!!, & more importantly how to use the effects for entertainment!

Cheers

I had forgotten that one Pepka, thanks for the reminder.
I'm going to try and locate that.

You might want to check out "Magic by Gosh".

"Illusion Show Know How" has a great chapter regarding prop storage and management.
