Al Baker's ManuscriptAl MannTed Annemann's writing in Jinx No. 19 alludes to an obscure Al Baker manuscript that Annemann had seen when he was 17 years of age, at which time the manuscript was already old. The manuscript contained some of the first writings by a well experienced and well informed magician. It was called Al Baker’s Mental Effects. This was a remarkable collection of ideas and fabulous routines aimed especially at the mentalist/magician. Although it featured Al Baker’s Billet Reading Extraordinary, each effect in the book was a feature item.

Paul Harris in Las Vegas Close-UpPaul HarrisThis book has long become a classic for close-up magicians. I have acquired a box as part of a larger deal and am pricing it ridiculously low. If you already have this book buy three more copies and hand them out as gifts. Your friends will love you.

Boromian LinkTerri RogersThis booklet details Terri Rogers' Boromian Link an incredible linking card effect based on Paul Harris' Immaculate Connection. The Harris original is a great impromptu effect but if you are not working impromptu and can use your own cards then you'll find Terri Rogers' method even better. The linking effect looks excellent and in fact fools those familiar with the Harris original. The effect can be performed with any size cards and looks quite spectacular if done with Jumbo cards. 1st edition 1986, 1st digital edition 2013, 12 pages. | ★★★★★ $7 more than onetype to choose from softcover PDF & EPUB | |
Star GateTerri RogersAn incredible effect based on a topological principle. Two cards are shown glued back to back. The spectator may examine them as there is nothing to find. The performer takes the cards, gives them a few deft folds and then hands them back to the spectator ... but now the cards are face to face. It looks impossible because the cards are still glued together. What's more, they are the same cards that the spectator handled earlier. There is no switch of any kind. You won't believe it yourself the first time you perform it. [Note: Originally this booklet was supplied with a Jumbo cards already prepared and glued together. This ebook comes without a set of glued cards. However, the ebook has clear explanation of the construction. You can prepare a set from regular cards with a knife and tape in a few minutes. 1st edition 1985, 1st digital edition 2013, 11 pages. [Below is a demonstration where the two cards are oriented in the same direction and not 90 degree rotated like Terri has originally designed it. The advantage of a 90 degree offset is that the card that is folded can at one time be seen partly from the front and partly from the back which is a very magical moment. This moment is missing from this version.] ... | ★★★★★ $7 more than onetype to choose from softcover PDF & EPUB | |

Sh-h-h--! it's a secretTed AnnemannAnnemann describes a wealth of forty pieces in this wonderful booklet. The first, "Call me up sometime" is a beautifully direct telephone miracle. This is a prime example of Annemann's mantra of 'effect before method'. I found the following line from Annemann's introduction funny: I like to do these things so well that someday I'm going to write a twenty page introduction and follow it with one trick! Trouble is, however, that after that harangue the trick will HAVE to be good. 1st edition 1934; 50 pages.

Big Ring on StringL. C. CollierA parlor sized ring with a stage sized routine. This is a compact ring and string routine which uses some of the most visual moves one can do with these props. For many years I have performed a very similar routine. I used a red cotton ribbon instead of the standard white rope, because a ribbon lies flat on the ring and is wider than a rope allowing for some sequences a stronger illusion. 1st edition 2003; 10 pages. | ★★★★★ $5 more than onetype to choose from softcover | |
