Expert Billiard Ball Manipulation Part 1Burling HullBurling Hull was indeed an excellent billiard ball manipulator, and this is a very good introduction to the art. Paul Fleming wrote about part 1 and 2: For thirty-five years we have been giving and watching programs of magic, and in all this time we have not known a single instance of an audience failing to receive with enthusiasm a first-rate exhibition of billiard-ball work. Properly done, with a moderate display of grace and with appropriate musical accompaniment, the "billiard-ball trick" is as pleasing a demonstration of dexterity as anyone could wish to see. Among the performers of the past who... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Expert Card ChicaneryAlton C. SharpeFrom the Preface: This booklet, like our other Expert Series, is not designed to be either a reference or an authority in the ordinary sense. Perhaps, at best, it might be called a tickler, a reminder, or a check list, although none of these terms would be exact. It was written and compiled to stimulate one's "thought processes" and to instill creative activity within those who have a fondness for the pasteboards.

Expert Card ConjuringAlton C. SharpeFrom the introduction by Robert Parrish: This book contains a remarkably select collection of sophisticated means for increasing and deepening the potential for "pleasant illusion" that resides in a pack of cards. These contributions range from presentation ideas such as Fred Lowe's "Second Deal Sam" to the technical refinement of standard effects, as, for example, in Ed Marlo’s "Approach to the ‘Stop’ Trick."

Expert Card MysteriesAlton C. SharpeFrom the introduction by Robert Parrish: Although much of the material in this book comes from advanced current contributors to card magic, Al has included some fascinating lore from the past. There is, for example, the first printed information on Eddie Fay's glimmer technique. I recall that the late Rufus Steele, an informed man of gamblers' dodges, simply refused to believe that Fay was using a reflector. He thought it was a put-on and that Fay was probably using a stack or a pack of marked cards. Then there is Paul LePaul's wonderful transportation of cards into a sealed envelope. Although he explained the trick... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

Expert Manipulation of Playing CardsLewis GansonLewis Ganson, mostly known as author of magic books, was also himself an expert stage card manipulator. This ebook is a complete course in the art of manipulating playing cards, from back palms, to catching cards, card fans, flourishes, gimmicks and holders, and how to put it all together into a routine. Paul Fleming wrote: This recent work on card manipulation is divided into four sections which deal with (1) the back-palming of cards, (2) card fans, (3) card flourishes, and (4) suggestions for routines. Since we have no special knowledge of card fanning or card flourishes - and, because they lack... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Explosive ComedyVal AndrewsStunts, Tricks and Gags with Flashes, Bangs and Surprises From the introduction: Joke-shops, novelty-stores... are packed with "explosive" and surprise items which have far too long been regarded as "practical jokes", when, in actual fact, they can be used to good advantage by magi and other entertainers. This book is divided into three main sections..."BANGS"..."FLASHES" and "SURPRISES"! Maybe I have cheated a little in the items I have included in the latter section...but they were all good, and had no other place to go! Now that you have this book, I'm going to watch you pretty... | $5 to wish list | |
Exquisite ConjuringFriedrich W. Conradi-HorsterConradi was the largest manufacturer of magic apparatus in Germany in the early 20th century. He wrote and published several major magic books and his magazine Zauberspiegel (Magic Mirror) predates Mahatma, the first American magic magazine. We should not forget that around 1900 Germany was dominating the magic market. Some of the largest magic retailers in the US, such as Roterberg, built their entire business on importing goods from various German manufacturers, such as Conrad-Horster, and then reselling them in the US. Roterberg's most successful book New Era Card Tricks was little more than a translation of effects taken from various... | $8 to wish list | |
Extra Sensory PerceptionTony BinarelliFrom the introduction: "Billet test" is one of the classics in mentalism: the mentalist divines a word, a number or a drawing made by a spectator, without coming in contact with the paper. Numberless are the methods designed to solve this problem: "center tears", window envelopes, "umbrella moves" or billet switches. All these methods, in my opinion, have a great weakness: the mentalist must repeatedly touch the billet. With that in mind, I looked for a method to avoid all this "manipulation" and that would appear as real telepathy. What I am going to reveal to you, I think is a good... | $15 to wish list | |
Extra Sensory PerfectionJ. G. Thompson Jr.Here's a complete four-phase routine using a deck of ESP cards. Do you know the true facts about the ESP deck? J. G. Thompson, Jr. has thoroughly analyzed the deck and come up with some most amazing discoveries which he has blended into the first completely routined demonstration with a standard deck of Rhine E. S. P. cards. Now you can prove your mastery over extra sensory perception (ESP) and demonstrate to your audience that you are a mentalist by using an ESP testing deck - a scientifically approved accessory. You go through a series of experiments such as Rhine has only hoped to... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Extra-Sensory PerceptionDr. Joseph Banks RhineThis is the publication where J. B. Rhine coined the term Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP) and reported on the results of his experiments at Duke University using the Zener symbol cards (today known as ESP cards) designed by his colleague Karl Zener during the early 1930s. The results Rhine reported were remarkable and suggested that ESP existed. However, other academic institutes could not replicate the results. There were many problems with the experimental design Dr. Rhine used. The remarkable results he achieved were likely a combination of sensory leakage and outright cheating. One of... | $12 to wish list | |
ExtraordinaryDevin KnightA super baffling book test that can be done with books in any language. The effect is that the mentalist shows a copy of a recent ungimmicked New York Times bestseller and hands this to any spectator (no stooge). Another person, (again, no stooge) decides on the page to be used. The first spectator secretly underlines with a pencil a word on the page, closes the book and retains it. Without touching the book or asking a single question, the mentalist circles the identical word in an ungimmicked dictionary and hands it to a member of the audience for verification. The dictionary is handed... | $10 to wish list | |
Extreme Magic SquareChristopher BolterThe mentalist walks on stage holding 2 foam poster boards (or dry erase boards) with a grid of 16 squares on them. Two easels reside on stage. He places one board on top of each easel and walks towards the audience. Claiming to posses the power of impossible lighting fast calculations he boldly challenges the audience to think of a two digit number. In which he will not only display amazing mathematical and memory skill, but he'll also read their minds! He hands out a piece of card stock to two volunteers from the audience and has them secretly write down their thought of 2 digit numbers.... | $60 to wish list | |
Extreme PickpocketingMats G. KjellstromPluck a selected card from within a shuffled deck inside a closed card box in the spectators jacket pocket! In less of a second! Detailed Effect: The spectator selects a card and shows it to the audience and memorizes it, the spectator puts it back anywhere in the deck and then shuffles the cards, then the spectator slides the complete deck into the card case, closes the flap. The spectator puts the card case with the deck in his own outer/external pocket on his jacket. The magician shows his hands empty (the magician can roll up his sleeves, more convincing) and he pulls the correct card... | $5 to wish list | |

Eye CandyBrick TilleyThe spectator selects, remembers, and returns a card to the deck. Without any unnecessary handling the performer counts down to its value, then spells the suit. The selected card is turned over at the end of this counting/spelling sequence. Based on a trick by Frederick Mosteller in 1943 that used two decks.
