Magic Awareness: F.U.N. Presentation SeriesKen MullerA collection of stories, poems, and reflections about magic - inexplicable phenomena in life that impact our audience, or you as the performer.

Magic by MisdirectionDariel FitzkeeThis volume, book three in the trilogy, is all about the psychology in magic. Mechanics alone, a sleight or move, are not sufficient to produce a strong magic effect. Dexterity by itself is more like juggling. Only if misdirection, the psychological aspect of deception, is added into the mix, will one be able to create a truly magic experience. There aren't many good works on misdirection. This is one of the must read ebooks, a classic in the theory of magic. A shorter but modern discussion of misdirection can be read in Pocket Power by Jarle Leirpoll. Paul Fleming wrote: Several years ago, in our examination (Review No.... | ★★★★★ $9 to wish list | |
Magic by TheoryDaniel SkahenAs the title suggests, this is a pure work about theory, but not old and dusty thoughts, instead a fresh and new look by Daniel Tyler. Certainly you will find topics which are as old as magic, such as 'the merit of gimmicks' and 'misdirection', but you will also find a chapter dealing with 'where to shop', which is up-to-date and includes places on the internet. This chapter alone can save you a multiple of the price of this ebook. Or what about 'getting the girl' or 'how to admire Blaine, but be yourself' - all topics that Daniel discusses. You might be shocked to hear that Daniel is just eighteen... | ★★★★★ $7.50 to wish list | |

These documents range from a simple query letter to proposals/quotes and contracts. Nestled within this ebook are the basics used to form the paper trail of our performances.

Paul Fleming Book Reviews Vol. 1-3Paul FlemingPaul Fleming wrote what some consider the best book reviews in magic ever. This is the collection of all three volumes, in total 167 book reviews. Many reviewers then and now chose to write largely very positive reviews, more like an ad rather than a critical review. Paul Fleming on the contrary wrote his true opinion and slammed a book if he thought it was garbage. That makes the reviews so valuable, because you get an honest and informed opinion. The only danger in reading these reviews is that you will find many more books you will want to read. 1st edition 1942; PDF 273 pages. | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

Pull out all the stops, use all your tools to make your close one to be remembered.
