Encore III by Michael Ammar - Rare Book

When pros reach for the material that works—they reach for Encore 3.

Written by Michael Ammar and illustrated by Richard Kaufman, this legendary volume has been battle-tested on stages and screens around the world. The routines inside haven’t just fooled audiences—they’ve built careers.

We're talking about material performed on national television in eight countries, used by the likes of David Copperfield, Paul Daniels, Doug Henning, and even Siegfried of Siegfried & Roy, who turned his dressing room ceiling into a star-studded gallery using one routine from this very book.

Want to know what made a card stick to the ceiling of the Kremlin? It’s in here.

• The Gallo Pitch – a sleight-of-hand staple with serious impact
• Beenie Weenie – oddball, unexpected, unforgettable
• Klaus’s Name is the Same – clever and commercial
