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.
