Who doesn't know and love David Williamson? The very mention of his name usually resurrects a great story or at the very least, a smile. His performances are memorable, funny, and amazing.
Today, I examine his seminal text, Williamson's Wonders: does it hold up to the hype? What treasures lie within? Should you buy it even though it's out of print? All these questions and more are addressed. Enjoy either an introduction to David Williamson's printed word, or a walk down memory lane if you already have and appreciate this work of magical art. Have fun! https://youtu.be/wYj1TZanl2w |

I had the pleasure of seeing David perform all the material in the book up close and personal the year the book came out.
Something I'll never forget. Excellent book. |

Like Magicfish I was lucky enough to see David perform back in 1989. It was one of the first and few magic conventions I have ever attended. It was quite memorable as David had me and the crowd in stitches. Comedy and magic at its best. I also picked up his book which he gratefully signed. I highly recommend the book too!

His Floating Assembly is awesome. When I lived in D.C. I went to see a movie and I had that book with me.As I sat down, a voice across the aisle said, "i cant youre carrying that around>" That was Williamson. One of the most amazing coincidences I can recall. We went to the food court after the movie and he showed me all kinds of stuff. He is so nice. One of fave memories
