From the introduction:
Hello, and welcome to this compilation of comedy material from my first three books. I have also included a selection of new stuff as an added bonus. There’s a wide variety of visual gags and one liners, plus plenty of lines which are specifically for magicians and mentalists. Try them out, and use them! I’ve tried a lot of this material out in comedy clubs, and I still use quite a bit of it on a regular basis. Select what suits you best… some of the material is pure comedy, some of it is more light-hearted lines… In the past whenever I have read a joke book, I would laugh at maybe one-in-fifty of the jokes – because humour is all down to personal taste. Hopefully, the ratio in this book will be a lot higher!
