The book grew from Milt Larsen's weekly ramblings in the Friday lunch menu, with over 150 titled entries spread over eight chapters, including Pre-Opening, Happy New Year 1963, The Second Floor, Growing Pains, Memorable Magicians, Shrum's Greatest Magic Trick, Castle Personalities, and The Next Million Years.
Children love bedtime stories, the same one over and over.
It's like that with magicians too, and one I can't hear often enough is the incredible story of the Magic Castle. And no one tells it better than Milt.

The spectator shuffles them in a small packet and places the packet into the card box himself.
