New Era Card TricksAugust RoterbergNew Era Card Tricks is the masterpiece of Roterberg's publishing efforts. Scholars are pretty sure that the elusive Erdnase must have known and read this book. It is still today an extremely good and important work on cards. It is a book any serious card man should read. This is to a large part the foundation on which a lot of the later card work has been built. A good part of this book is essentially a translation of the German work Der Moderne Kartenkünstler by Friedrich W. Conradi. Richard Hatch wrote a wonderful introduction that by itself is worth reading. He starts: August Roterberg is chiefly remembered today as a pioneering early twentieth century... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish listPDF & EPUB | |
The Vortex Principle: and other madnessesAvik DuttaFresh from the success of his Confession and Oblivion manuscripts, Avik is back, this time with a short treatise on cards. The star of this show is his 'Vortex principle' - a method for covertly spotting and controlling multiple cards from a fairly shuffled deck. One could describe it as a 'control in stages', because it is not one single movement you do to control a card. It is something you do while you casually shuffle your cards. Next, comes an effect called "Any Card at Any Name", which employs an age-old principle to powerful effect. The central section of the manuscript details 'The Narcissus... | $16 to wish list | |
The Gambling MagicianB. W. McCarronFrom the Introduction: Within the pages of this volume, the reader will find many effects which may easily be incorporated into a program of exposes, or as part of a manipulative act. None of the effects discussed in the first section require sleights more difficult than the doublelift. Many a performer will want to credit the occurrences to his own skill - even though none is involved. While at no time should the Lecturer attribute the happenings to "magic", a fairly plausible cause is sleight-of-hand. ... Included in Section II of this volume, I have given the reader an illustrated... | $5 to wish list | |
Barry's Stacked DeckBarry RayThis is a stack that retains the simplicity of a Si Stebbins or Eight Kings stack, but randomizes colours and suits. Why Another Stacked Deck? The two most popular stacked decks are Si Stebbins and Eight Kings. Why should this be so? Because both systems are easy to do, under fire, under pressure and any other interruptions you find when performing. There are other systems out there but they are more complex and more demanding, unless you are using them all the time. But the Si Stebbins and the Eight Kings have one glaring fault (if fault you could call it) and that is the alternating... | ★★★★★ $16 to wish list | |
Easy DiaryBarry RayAs the title suggests, a simple diary trick. A spectator names any date in the year and you hand them a diary.

It can be a different card every time. The ebook contains several presentations, reveals, how to set this up on your iPod, mobile phone or paper diary and a chart showing the position of all the cards for 366 days. 1st edition 2010; 13 pages. | $10 to wish list | |
Deceptive DiaryBarry RayBarry could say this has taken 25 years in the making. And it would be true! In the latter part of the 1980’s, Barry created Deceptive Diary, and in 1990, he marketed this effect. It was the first diary trick to use only one diary…having a selection of over 40 cards! Before that, the diary trick either used two or four (sometimes six) diaries, forcing anything from two up to eight cards. But the major dilemma with Deceptive Diary was that it required mental gymnastics to work out the value of the card for any given date. To offset this Barry created Easy Diary. But every now and again, he would... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
