Ian Baxter
Entered the world in 1946, the magic world in 1952, witnessing his first trick from a great uncle, who threaded a door key on to a piece of string and with a wave of the hand, the key fell to the floor. The magic bug set in right there and then.
Grandfather followed up with a coin trick and then his father took him in to Bernard's Magic Shop in Melbourne. A few pocket tricks were purchased and this further encouraged the young Baxter towards performing. By the time he was 14, sleight of hand had taken a firm hold.
Decades down the track and magic with cards, coins, small objects and an occasional venture towards mind reading is what keeps the fascination on hold.
Still not retired from vocation as a piano tuner and technician, but has cut back on commercial gigs in order to spend more time with family. Enjoys writing up tailored versions of known classics and when time permits, relaxing over a quiet game of chess.
Coauthors: Barry Govan, Murray Cooper, Gerry McCreanor

Pointless!Ian Baxter A revised version of Ken de Courcy's You'll Get The Point!.
Why the extraneous procedure of changing packets? To Ian, this seems totally unnecessary, although (obviously) the mechanics of the trick, as is, necessitate it. This effect is almost exactly the same as the de Courcy contribution, but the method is altogether different. 1st edition 2018, 2 pages. | 2018 / 2 / 22 | $4.00 £2.86 €3.31 Ca$5.13 Au$5.23 ¥439.18 | to wish list | ||

A Further Five KinksIan Baxter Ian delights in finding forgotten gems in classical card literature, which he then refines and updates for modern day audiences. In this manuscript, you will find a further five effects which have received Ian's careful study and are sure to delight both you and your spectators.
In Miraskill Detour Ian has taken the classic Miraskill and turned it into a totally impromptu and self working mystery, while in the process managing to streamline the procedure and still maintain the strong impact of the original routine. MBJ Echo is a re-working of an old Henry Christ trick, simple both in effect... | 2016 / 8 / 14 | $10.00 £7.15 €8.27 Ca$12.82 Au$13.08 ¥1097.95 | to wish list | ||
Another Five KinksIan Baxter Five old chestnuts from the literature of card magic which were given the Baxter 'treatment', resulting in streamlined handlings and giving these venerable plots a breath of fresh air.
Underhanded Overhand is an extremely well finessed handling of the old ruse of appearing to have the entire deck shuffled with each half being shuffled independently. The Cross Cut Force has been around since the 1920's and has remained virtually unchanged ever since. It is a simple move, but difficult to perform convincingly. Ian has taken another tack and by slightly changing the choreography of the move,... | 2016 / 2 / 21 | $10.00 £7.15 €8.27 Ca$12.82 Au$13.08 ¥1097.95 | to wish list | ||
Five KinksIan Baxter From the introduction by David Jones:
Ian loves to tinker! Given his strong creative abilities, this tinkering has more often than not, resulted in much improved effects, more streamlined methods, or both. Over the years, Ian has released a number of books and manuscripts that detail some excellent card effects. Numerous One Man Parades in the IBM monthly magazine The Linking Ring have also been published. | 2015 / 3 / 22 | $10.00 £7.15 €8.27 Ca$12.82 Au$13.08 ¥1097.95 | to wish list | ||
Three For AllIan Baxter Three wonderful renditions of classics by Ian Baxter. Includes introduction by Dan Tong of Florida.
Easygoing Carlyle is a no-palm Card To Pocket with a repeat phase that any serious magician can do in a few days. It is almost self-working. With Nicely Controlled, Ian has refashioned an old trick that was a favorite of none other than S. Leo Horowitz. Follow The Leader is certainly a classic. What Ian offers here is a six card routine that is simpler to set up than most of the older eight card routines and the displacement move is easy to accomplish. More important than anything else... | 2013 / 4 / 29 | $6.00 £4.29 €4.96 Ca$7.69 Au$7.85 ¥658.77 | to wish list PDF & EPUB | ||
Three Jacks BetteredIan Baxter Ian Baxter has accomplished something remarkable. He has taken a wonderful classic self-working effect, that has been described and worked on by such luminaries as Walter Gibson, John Scarne, Rufus Steele, Harry Lorayne, Ed Marlo and made it even better, more direct, less dealing procedures while preserving the effect, the sleight-less feature as well as adding an additional climax. This kind of improvement happens very rarely.
From the foreword by Jon Racherbaumer: Ian Baxter has re-examined the plot and skilfully applied Occam's Razor to trim the handling to a streamlined size, giving it a punchier finish. This alone should be sufficient incentive... | 2012 / 11 / 3 | $6.00 £4.29 €4.96 Ca$7.69 Au$7.85 ¥658.77 | to wish list | ||
