Jerry Andrus was an incredible creative and inquisitive man. He could converse just as easily on questions surrounding quantum mechanics as he could on magic and optical illusions. He looked at a deck of cards very differently than most of us. This allowed... | ★★★★★ $30 to wish listPDF |

Kurious KardsJerry Andrus From the introduction:
Here is a book replete with many of my ideas on Kurious Kards. Magicdom certainly has its share of "Take A Card" tricks -- "Mental Marvels" and "Mathematical Monstrosities." Why then couldn't it stand a little material that is either different enough to be sort of crazy, or crazy enough to be sort of different?
This book is not intended to be encyclopedic in nature, but rather just presents ideas that I have worked out over the years and recently. So here is my contribution of "Selectified Kard Insanities." Some are easy, some are difficult. They are not tricks within... | $5 to wish listPDF |

Nameless Notes 2Jerry Andrus More beautiful sleight of hand close-up magic this time with pen, card, bill and a handkerchief. Jerry carried the 'nameless' theme further and didn't even give the routines a name. You will learn three effects:
Effect 1: A ball point pen is rolled up in a dollar bill. The bill is then unrolled and shown repeatedly on both sides, with no sign of the pen. The bill is again rolled into a tube and the pen produced from same.
Effect 2: A playing card is folded up with a dollar bill. When they are unfolded the card is found to be undamaged.
Effect 3: The penetration of a pen thru a handkerchief.

The New Linking PinsJerry Andrus Here Jerry reveals six effects with his famous Linking Pins. They are:
Spectators examine three safety pins and hand them back to the performer who immediately demonstrates that no matter how the pins are laid on the table they will invariably end up with all their opening sides facing the same direction. If the performer attempts to lay one of the pins down facing the wrong way it will flip itself over in front of the spectators eyes.
Next the pins are shown to repel each other violently when held in a certain way.
The three pins are layed flat on the table. Performer picks up one... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish listPDF |
The Miser's MiracleJerry Andrus EFFECT: The performer shuffles a deck of cards and fans them out, explaining that he will use the two cards wherever the spectator says, "Stop." At the spectators indication the performer stops and removes the two cards at that point. Both hands and both cards are shown on both sides and without further manipulation the two cards are placed together face to face, and a silver dollar is seen to slowly emerge from between them.
After rolling up his sleeves and again showing his hands empty, the performer picks up the deck from the table and shuffles it again. The cards are fanned out, and again... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish listPDF |

Sleeving from the DeckJerry Andrus From the introduction:
When my first ideas on sleeving from the deck were published in Andrus Deals You In in 1956, they must have looked a little weird to those unaccustomed to the ways of Andrus. I heard of various comments from "Impossible," to "This guy's crazy." Being a magician, I cannot fully deny the second, but the first has been well proved in my utilization of the sleeving move on many occasions. Sleeving From The Deck is another of the after effects of Andrus Deals You In. While the method put forth in that book was practical (in spite of its looking reasonably impossible to some) and was considerably used in my magic,... | $6 to wish listPDF |
Andrus Deals You InJerry Andrus This fantastic classic of card magic is considered by many to be as important as his famous Andrus Card Control. This new digital edition has dozens of Andrus sleights, flourishes and routines, all illustrated by 370 drawings by the author. Jerry's work with the diagonal jog is priceless!
Paul Fleming wrote:
This book will inevitably be compared with the great card treatise of a little more than a half-century ago, The Expert at the Card Table, by S. W. Erdnase. Like its predecessor, it is obviously the work of an expert; like the earlier book, it is primarily about card techniques rather than card... | ★★★★★ $30 to wish listPDF |

Vampire NeedleJerry Andrus Performer borrows a white handkerchief in order to show them a trick with a 'needle and thread'. He then produces the needle and has a spectator thread it with a piece of rope. He then pushes the needle thru the center of the handkerchief and pulls the 'thread' thru after it. This leaves a jagged hole which he trims with a pair of scissors. Handkerchief is finally shown undamaged.

Ghost Grates and other Negative RealitiesJerry Andrus I recommend you do NOT purchase this, unless you are a die hard fan of Jerry Andrus, connoisseur of optical illusions, and or a collector of strange and rare publications.
Essentially this ebook has 7 pages of squiggly lines. That's it. If you know what they mean, if you have seen or experienced Jerry's optical illusion which goes along with this, then it will probably make sense to you. Otherwise I doubt you will know what it is for and what it all means. There is no explanatory text. These were the lecture notes for a seminar Jerry gave in April of 1986 at Harvard University.

Zone Zero and Temporary OblivionJerry Andrus You will learn the Master Move and all movements of the "Zone Zero" and "Temporary Oblivion" routines. The purpose of the Master Move is a method of showing a flat object on both sides while having a ball or other object concealed at the same time.
One quality all of Jerry's publications have is an abundance of very good illustrations. Here you are getting 60 illustrations.

AccustealJerry Andrus A barehanded production of a steel ball bearing. A professional lesson in concealment.
Jerry Andrus only taught and performed tricks he created himself. In that sense he was a purist, a one of a kind magic creator. Here he teaches simple but wonderful sleight-of-hand where every movement is thought through to appear as natural as possible while concealing a large heavy steel ball.

Miser's MiracleJerry Andrus Watch and learn Jerry's masterpiece of coin magic. Four silver dollars are produced one at a time, first from between two freely chosen cards, and the last two coins from a single playing card which is torn smaller and smaller.
There are no difficult moves in this routine. The ingenuity of Jerry is how he steals, hides and moves the coins behind pieces of cards.
