The Le Walke MysteriesEdward BagshaweHere's an amazing ebook of new effects and improvements to magic and mentalism classics, from the fertile mind of a master craftsman.

These miracles of magic and thought-reading will get your mind to thinking of ways to add one or more of them to your own act. While some of the described effects do require workshop skills, they can be constructed in most anyone's home shop. If you're not mechanically... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Proudlock's Sympathetic SilksEdward BagshaweNow you, too, can present this award-winning silk routine in your show. Here is a beautiful routine using two sets of three silk scarves that magically knot and unknot themselves "in sympathy" with each other ... even from across the stage. Best of all, you can do this with your own silks, as they contain no hidden pockets, sewn-together pairs, or similar fekes. Edward Proudlock's Sympathetic Silks are a joy to behold, no less to the magician than to the uninitiated beholder. That it was a feature of Proudlock's act for 15 years is a testament as to its beauty and strength. Anyone who... | ★★★★★ $3 to wish list | |
The Mind ReaderEdward BagshawePrint and Perform. One of the advantages of the following effect lies in its absurd simplicity of operation. Quite a change from some of the "mentally selected" card effects you may have run across. Briefly, the effect can be stated as follows. A sealed envelope is first given into the keeping of a member of the audience. Two printed slips of paper (ready to print for you), each bearing the names of cards, are given to a second spectator, who is asked to examine them and note that the names of all the fifty-two cards have been listed upon them. The spectator mentally selects one of the... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |
Exclusive Problems in MagicEdward BagshaweFrom the introduction: This book has been primarily written for the Drawing-Room and Concert Artist who will, I trust, find the material offered for his perusal, sufficiently away from the "beaten track" to be of practical value. The majority of the effects described have been thoroughly "tried out" - and therefore they can be relied upon to "work." I have endeavoured to set forth a selection of original ideas that are not only (to the best of my belief) new in effect, but, to some extent, in method also - thus checkmaking the spectator who knows just a little too much.

More Magical MysteriesEdward BagshaweFrom the introduction: For this reason I have endeavoured only to include effects of a practical nature, and ideas in which simplicity is the keynote. Anything in the nature of "conjuring for conjurers" has been rigorously excluded, and wherever an idea is made use of that is not my own, full credit has been given to the originator.

Proudlock's Routine with ThimblesEdward BagshaweFrom the foreword by Will Goldston: I admire a magician whose zeal for his art is always at fever heat. I admire a magician who sets out to discover some of the hidden treasures of magic and does not count the cost, in time and labour, that he spends on the task. Lastly, I admire the magician who, when he has found some of those hidden treasures, is willing and anxious to share them with his fellow magicians. The reader will now understand why I have a profound admiration for the magician whose originations appear in this book. One glance at it will convince anyone who understands magic that it is... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Twenty Magical NoveltiesEdward BagshaweIn this work, we find for the first time the popular Out-to-lunch principle (see for example Anagramation by Jim Krenz) being published. From the introduction: The better one becomes acquainted with magic, the more one realizes that the word "novelty" must be used with care. That is, if one wishes to be strictly veracious. Nevertheless, I believe the reader will find that the various offerings in this book possess some element of newness - either in the effects themselves or the methods outlined. It will be noted that I have not included items that are only accessories or suggestions (with which another book... | $10 to wish list | |

The Tea-LeafEdgar Jepson & Robert EustaceThe death-causing method is ingenious. A lesson in applied science. It is such a fascinating method that the basic idea has subsequently been copied by other authors. Two former friends, who had a falling out and now hate each other, meet in a Turkish bath. A verbal altercation ensues. One exits and goes to the shampoo room and the other is found dead. No weapon is found and the possibility to smuggle in and out a weapon has been ruled out by the available evidence. The living man, the apparent criminal, is charged with murder and it takes the genius of the victim's daughter to prove him... | $2.99 to wish list | |

Murders in the Rue MorgeEdgar Allan PoeWith Murders in the Rue Morge, Edgar Allan Poe is the inventor of the model for the modern detective story consisting of a brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as the narrator, and the revelation of whodunit that is revealed before the explanation of how the crime was committed. More specifically, Poe is also the father of the locked room mystery, detective stories where the impossibility of the crime takes center stage. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle acknowledged that he modeled his most famous Sherlock Holmes stories after Poe's detective story model by having Watson explicitly state in the first Holmes... | $3.99 to wish list | |

Card BonanzaEddie JosephExcerpt from the Introduction: In my opinion, anything Eddie Joseph produces needs no introduction for he has proved to the world at large his ability as an originator and as a writer on magical subjects. His thought and ideas have high rating among Magicians. In fact, I know many Magicians who will buy any trick, book, or manuscript with Joseph's name to it. So this does not leave much more to say as an introduction to this manuscript. However, the contents herewith are so good that we felt justified in saying so in writing, especially in respect to the "Telephone Repeat". It is our hope... | $8 to wish list | |
Hot HeatEddie JosephPlease note that the chemicals used for this effect are toxic. We provide this ebook for historic and informational purposes only. This effect has also been marketed under the title "Fascination". A crumpled piece of foil taken from a chocolate wrapper or from a cigarette packet is given to a spectator to hold. The magician strikes a match; he makes hypnotic passes toward the flame of the match and the ball of crumpled paper that the spectator is holding. As he does so, the spectator feels the silver paper getting hotter and hotter until eventually it is so hot that he has to drop it. It's... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
Hindu Gaming ShellsEddie JosephThis was originally distributed with a couple of gaming shells from India. This ebook does not include any such shells, just the instructions. Gaming shells are used as a kind of die substitute. Due to their shape, they can land one of two ways. Typically several such shells are cast and then all the ones landing in the same orientation are counted. Several tricks using these shells are explained.
