I am sure this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find anything on it!

In your option what is the best One Liner Book, two I have in mind are:
Aldo Colombini's
Harry Allen's

Do you recommend one? I can't decide on what one to get.

Chic Canery's One-Liners there are two volumes and they are on DVD if you can find them. There was a website but that has not been up for a long while.

Colombino has 3 one-liners books. The gags are all pretty old and a little cheesy but a lot of them will work as they have stood the test of time.
Mr Mystic's books sound like fun. Have you any more information on them? Ever thought of sellling them as files online?

Hi George
I have never thought of selling them as files, but I have them on my website.

Gazzo is coming out with a book of most likely offensive phrases and one liners from penguin magic soon.
I probably wouldnt use many of HIS lines but they may be of some use to you.

I personally like David Ginn's incredible book - A Legacy of Laughter. The book features great bits of by-play by Gene Gordon, as well. Of all the family-oriented magic-oriented one-liner & comeback books, this one ranks highest in my opinion. Worth every cent.

I love Aldo Colombini's humor & style...but then I'm a great admirer of Aldo's AND, being solidly in love with all things Italian, I'm slightly prejudiced. His humor works, but it takes a unique high-energy personality to pull them off...in my opinion. Still...worthy of purchasing and using!

I like Colombini because he's a great magician and he's a good friend; also he's italian like me, and his lines works for him as well for me.

I really don't remember where I found these, but was from a magi web site that he say that we can use them at will; I've choosed the best:

I'm not 40-something. I'm $39.95, plus shipping and handling.

In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce!

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying. As smart as bait.

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 30 years.
