Great image of "Harry the Hat" Harry Anderson Tips His Mitt!...and you won’t believe what rolled out of that mitt. All of the sidesplitting routines that helped make Harry Anderson a household name are packed into this book. That’s right; The Skunk Trap, The Gang of Four, The Handcuffs, The Burned Bill Routine, The Monarch Monte, and yes, Harry’s classic Needle Thru Arm plus many more. Here at last, is the whole story behind America's most successful comedy magician. From his early days in the street, to head-lining in night clubs and casino showrooms, to the starring role on TV's hit series, Night Court. Wise Guy begins with hilarious stories from Harry's apprenticeship as a street entertainer. We don’t have to tell you how commercial these routines are since you have seen most of them on The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live or on Harry’s own TV special, Hello Sucker. Follow a youthful Harry Anderson into the streets where his character, Harry the Hat, developed during years of busking. Read outrageous stories from these humble beginnings that led to starring roles on television’s Night Court and Dave’s World. Harry can’t promise you will become a Hollywood star but he will show you exactly how he developed the many routines that carried him to the top of his field. You will see magic effects slowly evolve into the classic routines that Harry ultimately performed as a headliner in casino showrooms, comedy clubs and on television. During a live performance at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California (where Hello Sucker was taped) we photographed Harry’s entire act and these action shots have been used to illustrate many routines. But Wise Guy is much more than just a book of tricks. Included are the theories and the psychology that form the basic foundation from which all of Harry’s magic emanates plus the exact patter that accompanied each effect. There is also plenty of close-up and mental magic that you may have seen Harry perform on shows such as Late Night with David Letterman or Larry King Live. It’s not very often that a magic celebrity puts virtually every effect that made him a star into a single book but that is precisely what Harry Anderson did in Wise Guy. You learn more than just the 'secrets' to the tricks. You learn how the tricks came to be, when they came to be, and even why they came to be. You'll live through, with Harry the Hat, his rise to fame. Most of all, it's very inspirational. It's not a 'how to become famous like Harry Anderson' book, but it certainly is the story of how it happened. Seeing someone else's story is always inspirational, Even if you weren't interested in learning the tricks, buy this book for the biography. Buy this book to learn how to develop routines. Buy this book to learn about one of the greatest comedy magicians of our time . . . Buy this book because it's about Harry Anderson. Wise Guy includes a wide array of close-up effects, sight-gags, mentalism and virtually all of the stand-up routines that made Harry Anderson a headline act including Sewing a Coin ~ Chicken and the Egg ~ Bullet Catch ~Ball of Aristotle Couvert ~ Ping-Pong Ball, Fruit & Flute ~ Card Sword ~ Dybbuk ~ Linking Rings ~ Arm Amputation ~ Skunk Trap ~ Jaw Breaker ~ Strait Jacket & Rope ~ Las Vegas ~ The Grappler ~ Mish-Mash Card ~ Wenii Magazine ~ Eight Brass Monkeys and The Shadow ~ The Children's Yard Sale ~ Time Warp ~ One in a Million ~ All For One ~ Musicalpathy ~ The Shadow ~ Gang of Four ~ Last Monte ~ Half-Roughed Cards ~ Jumbo Marked Cards ~ Wise-Guy Poker ~ World's Greatest Jumbo Torn & Restored Card ~ Monarch Monte ~ Inside-Out Bill ~ Magazine Test ~ Finger Chopper ~ Linked Finger Rings ~ Static Electricity ~ Needle Through Arm ~ Buffalo Bill ~ Cuff Links ~ Chapeaugraphy ~ Dueling Magis ~ Exclusivity ~ I'm Not Really an Actor, I Just Play One on TV.

Idid notice there is a minute nick on the bottom of the back cover. That's how I got the book. It does not harm the overall contents of the book (image included in listing so you can see).
