The Professor’s Nightmare- Everyone knows it and does it, and audiences STILL love it. One of the biggest challenges is finding a presentation that is both unique and interesting, particularly when you know of other performer’s in your market using the same old patter.
Enter Ron Dayton and “Professor’s Nightmare- The Awakening” Written By Ron Dayton, aka KOTAH with a Foreword by Ed Solomon. This 6 X 9 soft cover book is 48 pages, and 20 new routines for the tried and tested Professor’s Nightmare. You won’t find special slick moves, or any methodology in this book. You WILL find 20 new routines for the professor’s nightmare everything from Gospel to Bizarre, Comedic to serious. Ron has variations using chains, Dr Frankenstein flowers, Dog leashes, Tape measures and more! Ron Dayton is one of the treasures of magic. He has authored countless books and invented tens of dozens of tricks- many of which you may do today without knowing their origin. Ron’s interests are varied and wide, and he is a talented writer. He is also a deep thinker and deep person. Deep persons and deep thinkers are often moody and sentimental- Ron is no exception. You will see the moodiness within these stories not in anger or sadness but in variety of styles themes and tones. In this I was most impressed as I read these presentations. Within the 20 routines contained herein, the brief directions or notes are given parenthetically, while all the rest of the text represents spoken words. Much of Ron’s writing must be read aloud and approached as prose to get a feel for how it is to be delivered, where the pauses go, and how to tell the story for maximum impact. Some of these routines will fit your tastes as is, others will be springboards for your creativity. One thing is certain, you will never look at the Professor’s Nightmare the same way again! I hope you enjoy this, and will join me in thanking Ron for this contribution… One legend of magic, Ron Dayton meets another legend of magic- The Professor’s Nightmare! http://www.leapinglizardsmagic.com/professors_nightmare.htm For those who want to see a sneak peak at his book, the link above also links to a free sample of the first few things in the book. Same kind of free previews we offer with ALL of our books.

The professors nightmare is such a classic. If you have a great storyline to go with it, to me, its the best and most entertaining rope magic trick one can do. At about $1.20 per script and 20 different storylines for all sorts of occasions I'll be ordering. Thanks for the heads up.

Takeachance, thankyou for your interest in PN-The Awakening. You will find within this book , that the Professor's Nightmare need not be done only with lengths of rope. My intent was not only to offer new routines; but the opportunity to look at the effect in a different light. I believe you will find, you took no chance at all.

I'm sure I haven't Kotah, LOL, My order went in and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work. With this and the Jimmytalksalot buskers book Leapinglizards are putting out some great stuff. If you add a great story to the professors nightmare routine it just elevates it to a whole new level of entertainment for any audience.

Oh, and one more thing Kotah, have you ever thought of doing a collection of stories for The Gypsie Thread. There's one in another of your books with a bizzaar twist to it, but a collection of funny, sad, moral to the story type of presentations from your story telling collection would be great!

Ads for Professor's Nightmare-The Awakening have begun to appear in the Linking Ring. This is a book of story based routines. Much like the ropes themselves; long medium and short. A variety of themes, offering the opportunity for a sense of theater; rather than a wham nam thank you mam type presentation.
