This ebook - compiled and edited by Martin Breese - gathers together all of Al Koran's magazine articles from The Magic Wand, The Gen, The Wizard and Pentagram. It also features virtually all of the commercial effects that Al released via the Unique magic Studio in London. Included as well are the effects that Al released himself whilst living in the USA.

The ebook includes a great introduction and article about Al Koran by the mentalist Peter Zenner. Al Koran: The Unique Years is illustrated throughout by Phil Shaw and has a cover designed by Paul Griffin.

This 200 page, ebook has countless illustrations. Still available are all of...

Peter Duffie is one of the world's most creative cardmen and Subtle Miracles gathers together some of his most inventive work. Many of these effects were marketed as exclusive manuscripts (Solo, Duet, Trio, Quartet, Double Indemnity) and are now brought together for the first time, together with a selection of brand new routines using equally clever methods. David Britland contributed a routine called 'Red Alert' as well as added notes commenting on Peter's routines. An appendix teaches a couple of important sleights.

This is a digital facsimile version of the original hardcover book. [The one hardcover I had left has sold. Sorry.]

Back in the 1970s Martin Breese had the chance to record Robert Harbin on one of his early Magicassette releases. The Harbin Magicassette probably rates as the most popular of his recordings.

In 1983 Martin asked the late Owen Griffith to transcribe the words from the Harbin Magicassette. The late and great Eric Mason created the illustrations for The Harbin Book. One day at a business trade fair Martin saw a full scale photo litho printing machine being demonstrated and decided to leap in to the deep end and he bought the demonstration machine and had...

Fabulous collection of card magic culled from the pages of The Pentagram, including an excellent chapter by Graham Adams.

Anyone who has seen Paul work will know that he is first and foremost an entertainer. This book contains commercial routines he has used professionally for many years.

Includes:

• Introduction by Martin Breese
• "I'm There To Make Them Happy"
• Paul's ESP Trick
• The Flying Eagles
• Coins Across
• The Travellers
• Two Copper, One Silver
• Diamond Aces
• Mandarin Coin

1st edition 1986, 38 pages.

A small book that's big on entertainment. Clean, novel methods are used to produce effects that are clear and uncluttered. Taking as an example the first effect in the book, 'Spellbound Climax': you show a 2p coin and magically transform it into a 10p. After repeating this a couple of times you are surprised to find that the coin has changed into a button! Looking down, you discover that the coin is attached to your jacket where the button should be.

To paraphrase Gordon Bruce's introduction, these aren't just tricks but lessons in presentation.

With illustrations by Roy Johnson.

Karrell Fox was an extremely successful magician. He was probably the first to appear at trade shows as magician and even had a touring show for Ford Motor company. His success can partly be attributed to the many characters he developed perfectly suited for different venues and occasions: 'Milky' the Clown, Prof. 'Mix-up', 'Wow' the Wizard, W. C. Fields, and 'Just Plain' Karrell.

Here you will find lots of great ideas spanning the gamut from card and mental magic to stage and platform effects. Throughout you will find many photos of Karrell Fox - a pleasant picture show of the life of a...

"A clever effect that genuinely plays big, so many layers and moments that will leave any audience perplexed." - Marc Spelmann

"Nique has created a strong routine, that is very portable, well thought out and very solid. His manuscript is clear, illustrated and informative. If you enjoy chair tests, you will enjoy this." - Chris Rawlins

"Nique has come up with a very well constructed chair routine... that doesn't involve chairs. He has taken some tried and true methods and blended them into a worker routine. I'm sure many will be pleased with this routine. The bonus here is that it packs...

LECTURE NOTES 2011 by Devin Knight

The lecture notes from Devin Knight's 2011 tour. Far more than just a set of lecture notes, this is a complete book in itself! Features mind-boggling effects, including both cards and mentalism. Effects that fooled the majority of magicians in attendance. These notes include directions for Devin's NO TOUCH Any Card At ANY Number. The performer need not touch the decks at any time, yet both decks can be examined by the spectators. No fakes, gimmicks or duplicate cards! One of Devin's biggest hits during this lecture tour. These notes also contain directions...

"Giacomo Does some of the finest and most innovative magic I have ever seen." - David Roth

"On our recent European tour, Roth and I were fortunate to spend time with someone who has techniques that will ROCK the coin magic world." - Michael Rubinstein

"Bertini's coin magic is not like anything I have ever witnessed in well over half a century of doing coin magic. It is nothing short of incredible. It truly looks like 'real magic.' All of his techniques are ground-breaking and far more refined than anything I have ever seen anyone else do before." - Harvey Rosenthal

"Bertini is the...

Über Jahre wurde von Astor ein Fernlehrgang - ähnlich dem Tarbell Course - zum Preis von etwa 500 Euro vertrieben. In 55 Kapiteln auf 527 DIN A4 Seiten mit über 640 klaren und deutlichen Illustrationen führt Astor in die Kunst der Zauberei ein. Dem Leser wird auf leicht verständliche Weise das Fundament der Zauberkunst nahegebracht. Dabei befasst sich der Kurs mit fast jedem Kapitel der Täuschungskunst, der Psychologie der Täuschung, Improvisation und Präsentation. Astor bringt sein fundiertes psychologisches Wissen und die Erfahrung aus jahrzehntelanger eigener Bühnenerfahrung als Profizauberkünstler...

Die Magische Präsentation beinhaltet auf 148 Seiten kein einziges Zauberkunststück, sondern sie versucht den Leser in die Kunst einzuführen, aus einem Trick ein Kunststück zu machen.

Das Buch ist in zwei Bereiche geteilt: Der erste Bereich trägt den Titel: Schauspielkunst für Zauberkünstler. Darin erklärt Astor dem Leser, beginnend mit den ersten Schritten auf der Bühne, über das richtige Bewegen, Gestikulieren, Sprechen usw., alles was ein Zauberkünstler von der Schauspielkunst wissen sollte. Wer dieses Buch aufmerksam gelesen hat, wird nie mehr Kunststücke "zeigen"; er wird...

Vor etwa 40 Jahren begann Astor mit der Veröffentlichung seiner größten Geheimnisse in zehn einzelnen Manuskripten, die insgesamt 170 Euro kosteten und nur gegen eine ehrenwörtliche Schweigeerklärung zu erhalten waren. Insgesamt waren davon nur 150 Exemplare im Umlauf.

Die von Astor beschriebenen Ausnahmekunststücke sind nun als ebook zu erhalten. Auch heute noch haben diese Kunststücke nichts von ihrer Wirkung auf das Publikum verloren:

• SUPRAVISION: Ihr Medium weiß, was sich in einer verschlossenen Kassette befindet.
• MIRACLE GAME: Ein rätselhaftes mentales Mühlespiel mit Spielkarten. ...
