Contents of Offbeat by Nick Diffatte_x000D_
The 16 routines included in Offbeat are road-tested, audience-proven gems. Most importantly, they’re practical material that you’ll actually do. There’s no half-baked ideas in here. Just a ton of amazing magic tricks that have been performed thousands of times for real audiences by a working pro. It’s truly a pleasure to see how Nick is pushing the art of comedy magic forward through novel presentations that pay homage to his biggest inspirations like Tom Mullica and Mac King, without falling into the copy-and-paste trap that plagues comedy magic._x000D_

Mac King (who also wrote the foreword) summed it up perfectly: “I sure do love Nick Diffatte. He is my hope for the future of comedy magic.”_x000D_
_x000D_
Some of Nick’s most closely-guarded secrets are buried within these pages. Everything from stage and parlor magic like unique magic tricks with balloon animals, rope magic tricks and a hilarious handcuff routine, to close up magic miracles with everything from sticks of gums to contact lenses and, of course, playing cards._x000D_
_x000D_
Every effect is presented in crystal clear detail and accompanied by original art by Vernon James and photographs by Brett Loudermilk. No detail was spared as Nick shares everything from the necessary moves to key scripting and other insights discovered as the routines evolved._x000D_
_x000D_
As Nick Diffatte is an entertainer and comedian as much as he is a magician, you won’t be surprised to learn that each routine is designed to entertaining as much as it is magical. This focus on presentation means there isn’t much difficult sleight of hand you’ll have to worry about. While some of the routines do require a bit of prep work, the effort is well worth it._x000D_
_x000D_
While these incredible routines are designed to be performed, we think many magicians will find the most value from the nine included essays. As a bonafide worker, Nick Diffatte has seeen it all. His insights on comedy magic and presentation (including why it’s important to not be afraid to be bad on stage) are worth their weight in gold._x000D_

Offbeat by Nick Diffatte is guaranteed to be a bestseller that will be sell out quickly. Those who want to own a copy should not delay.
