Two astounding programs jam-packed onto one 150 minute download DVD. This is some of the best of Michael Close. Michael is an extraordinary magician, very thoughtful and meticulous. His Workers Series is legendary. He was editor in chief of MUM the organ of the Society of American Magicians.
Workers: Michael Close is truly a magician's magician. But he does his best work for laymen. His reputation is unsurpassed for entertaining and fooling lay audiences with mind-blowing magic. All of these effects are audience-tested over thousands of performances. It contains the following routines: ...
Magic was a monthly magazine produced and edited by Ellis Stanyon. It was first published in October 1900 and ran for 177 issues with a break during the 1914 - 18 war and the final issue was published in June 1920.
Ellis Stanyon was a noted magic dealer, author and publisher and in the first issue of Magic he set out his intention which was to 'popularize the Art of Sleight of Hand'. Stanyon's original lessons in magic were published in each issue and formed a significant course of magical instruction. Magic featured close-up effects, routines, stage and parlour magic including some of the...
The Gen magazine was published by Harry Stanley just after WWII. The first issue came out in December 1945. The magazine was published for 26 years with 303 issues covering a total of 8,685 pages. Lewis Ganson, one of the greatest British magical writers ever, was the editor until the magazine changed hands in 1971. It continued under the editorship of Val Andrews for a further two issues as the New Gen.
Virtually every known name in the world of post-war magic made a contribution to the Gen or was featured in its columns. Ken Brooke, for example, contributed 27 items and even the final issue, under the ownership...
Martin Breese purchased the copyright to the Magic Wand many years ago. He intended to issue material from the magazine in book form and was little to know, at the time, of the advent of digital publishing and ebooks.
The Magic Wand was first published in September 1910 and continued for 256 issues until December of 1957. It began as a monthly magazine and after a decade it was published quarterly. It was edited by George Munro who was succeeded by George Armstrong. It is rare and very hard to find a complete run. The most valuable issues are those containing the serial publication of The Annals of Conjuring. ...
Two strong card effects with a mentalism theme.
The Third Degree
The first spectator thinks of a card, the second spectator picks a
card which is placed on the table under a glass, and then the third
spectator selects a card which is removed from the deck and then
visually changed into the card on the table, and the card under the
glass becomes the first spectator's thought of card.
Fifth Element (thought of card to pocket)
The spectator is shown five cards and asked to think of any one of
them. The five cards are placed one at a time into the spectators hand
and he is challenged...
Here is the complete file of Pabular, one of the most remarkable and influential magazines ever published.
Pabular was first published in 1974 by Nick Bolton and ran for just over eight exciting volumes. It is probably the finest ever British close-up magazine to be published. It was mainly edited by the well-respected Fred Robinson (later by Walt Lees and Stephen Tucker) and the art editor throughout was Eric Mason.
The first effect in the magazine was by Roy Walton and contributors include: Jack Avis, Gaeton Bloom, John Carney, Tony Corinda, Ted Danson, Will Dexter, Bob Driebeek, Shiv Duggal, Peter Duffie, Alex Elmsley, Dominique Duvivier, Cy Endfield, Bob Farmer, Flip, Piet Forton,...
