Preface It always happens this way—I feel that “I’ve done it; that’s it; I really don’t want to write any more; I’ve said all I have to, or want to, say; I’m tired”—and I get talked into doing “just one more.” And that “one more” (for the moment) is what you’re holding in your hands right now—my re-write, upgrading and updating, my additions to, books I wrote decades ago. I originally wanted to do the “collections” because I write much better now than I did all those years ago. That was/is important to me because I can make sure that the effects, routines, sleights, are taught in a much better, much clearer, way. That’s how I feel right now. I also wanted to include credits that I didn’t know about when I wrote the originals. QUANTUM LEAPS, TREND SETTERS and DINGLE’S DECEPTIONS are books that have been out of print for many years, but that are constantly talked about in the (close-up) magic world. And those are the books that people pleaded for me to update and, perhaps more important, to include them in one volume, just as I did with all those books in THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Volumes 1 and 2. Well, you’ve got it—plus NUMERO UNO and THE GREAT DIVIDE, which were not easily available and because many wanted them to be (easily available, that is). As in the first two volumes of the series, I’ve added new thoughts, new ideas, that evolved over the years. Also, as usual, I’ve done it carefully so as not to take away from the “originality” of the originals. And again, please forgive my obviously biased opinion, but I know of no other books, certainly not in recent years, that contain as many terrific ideas, effects, routines as you’ll find in this tome. During the few years since I published the first volume of this series, I seem to have been proven right—that even those who had one, two, or more of the original books still loved the “collections,” and that those who didn’t have the originals realized what they had missed. What a treat for them! Welcome to LORAYNE: THE CLASSIC COLLECTION, Volume 3. Harry Lorayne
