The Endless Chain (Know-How Series)Rex Taylor & Will Ayling & Lewis Ganson & Fred LoweThis is not a magic trick but a carnival game, a con game, where the operator can decide if you should win or not. Everything looks fair and above board, but there is simply no chance for the mark to win. It looks so innocent, a ball-chain loop, put out on the table in a figure eight. One loop in the eight catches your finger the other does not. You have to find the one that catches your finger. Only problem is that you will never find it if the operator so decides. This game is sometimes called Loopy Loop, Figure Eight, the Chain Swindle, or Pricking the Garter. You will find in this ebook... | ★★★★★ $9.50 to wish list | ||

Ron MacMillan's Symphony of the SpheresLewis GansonAt the Annual Convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (British Ring) at Scarborough in 1957, an unknown magician walked away with the First Prize - The British Ring Shield.

Here was something new in manipulative magic, and there was much speculation as to the means whereby balls could be "stolen" so cleanly, without a hint being given of their original secret location, or... | ★★★★★ $9 to wish list | ||

TranscorneredJohn Blunt & Lewis GansonThe reputation-making card routine with which John Blunt won the Premier Award of the London Society of Magicians for the best magical effect.

It gives us a series of new, interesting and baffling surprises, beautifully-routined. The cleverly worked-out methods make for clean presentation. Not the least of its merits and one that is valuable for close-up performance, is the fact that all evidence is disposed of and the... | $8 to wish list | ||

Routined Manipulation Part 2Lewis GansonThis is the second part of the masterfully written classic work on magic.

Patrick Page's Cards to PocketLewis GansonLike ghosts they pass up the sleeve and into the pocket. From the introduction: This routine has all the ingredients to delight the discerning performer, the effect is excellent and although it conforms generally to the classical version of "The Cards to Pocket", it has that dash of variation that makes it novel. The method is easy to perform, so easy that one wonders why many more have not thought of obviating the palming just as Patrick Page has done. It's a fine example of using subtle moves in place of sleight of hand; indeed only one simple move is used throughout and yet the effect... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | ||
