Anton Kratky-Baschik begann seine Laufbahn als Mundharmonikavirtuose. Bei seinen Tourneen durch ganz Europa lernte er beim Zauberkünstler Bellachini die Kunst der Magie. Er kombiniert Zauberkunst mit Musikdarbietungen, physikalischen Effekten und Geistererscheinungen.

Nach jahrelangen erfolgreichen Gastspielreisen lässt er sich in Wien nieder, wo er große Erfolge in den Vergnügungsetablissements der Stadt feierte. Im Wiener Prater betrieb er drei Zaubertheater, das letzte bot 800 Besuchern Platz, damit war es das größte Zaubertheater der Zeit.

Robert Kaldy-Karo hat in den letzten Jahren in den Archiven des Circusmuseums und des Institutes Kadotheums nach interessanten Frauen und deren Schicksale aus der Welt der Unterhaltung geforscht, die im Circus, Varieté oder auf den Kleinkunstbühnen Außergewöhnliches erlebt haben.

Er berichtet über mutige Löwenbändigerinnen, wie das Fräulein Senide aus dem Prater oder über die schöne Seiltänzerin Mimi Rebernigg, oder über Skandale von Dressurreiterinnen, den Pin up Girls des 19. Jahrhunderts die adelige Herren ehelichten. Die Frauen aus der Glamourwelt der Unterhaltung wurden...

Quodlibet literally means "what you like, or what you prefer" and is the theme that links the two publications that bear this name, the first dedicated to an evolution of the numerical tables and a development of the principle applied to a 52-card deck, and the latter Quodlibet 2, which proposes the Tarot version.

An upturned Tarot deck is placed on the table in full view; a spectator will be asked to choose only mentally any one of the 78 Arcana, of the major or minor series as he or she prefers, and to concentrate on it. The spectator will be handed a series of seven folders depicting...

QUODLIBET significa letteralmente “quello che ti piace, o quello che preferisci” ed è il tema che lega le due pubblicazioni che portano questo nome, la prima dedicata a una evoluzione delle tabelle numeriche e uno sviluppo del principio applicato a un mazzo di 52 carte, e quest'ultimo QUODLIBET 2, che propone la versione con i Tarocchi.

Un mazzo di Tarocchi a dorso in alto è posto sul tavolo in piena vista; a uno spettatore si chiederà di scegliere solo mentalmente uno qualunque dei 78 Arcani, della serie maggiore o minore come più preferisce, e di concentrarsi su di esso. Si consegnerà...

The Annotated M.I.N.T. series continues. Thanks to Ed Marlo and Wesley James, M.I.N.T III, IV, V, VI, and Annotated M.I.N.T. 1963 - 1965 are already available. The release of this volume takes yet another step toward the availability of the entire run of Marlo In New Tops material with Wesley's extensive annotations, supplemental and Bonus material. The content of this volume is exceptional in its importance. The volume includes only seven articles but three of them are of special note and one was ground breaking when it was released and remains pivotal today, more than 50 years later. This...

When I compiled volume 3 of these "Scrapbooks" I had mentioned it would be the last, unless I found some of my material in Abra and other periodicals I had no access to, along with a few of my earlier contributions and creations. Just two days after the publication of Volume 3, I received an email from Andy Martin, complete with all the Abra articles, and in subsequent emails a couple of my Magick contributions, and all the date and issue references.

I had forgotten since my Swami/Mantra days just how helpful a fellow "magic addict" can be in helping a complete stranger since I had no correspondence...

This is self-working coin mentalism without any coin sleights, magnets, threads, shells etc and the coin can be freely handled by the participants before, during and after the routines. This is in the...

This was originally distributed with a couple of gaming shells from India. This ebook does not include any such shells, just the instructions.

Gaming shells are used as a kind of die substitute. Due to their shape, they can land one of two ways. Typically several such shells are cast and then all the ones landing in the same orientation are counted. Several tricks using these shells are explained.

Excerpt from the foreword by Duncan Fletcher:

Excerpt from the preface:

A pack is thoroughly shuffled (it may even be a borrowed one) and a spectator merely thinks of a card as they are shown to him one by one. Immediately the card is thought of, the pack is cut again and again. The spectator is given the pack, in two halves, to confirm or otherwise, that his card is there. Whether he says it is or isn't in either half, the performer knows the card immediately and may disclose it as he thinks fit.

No questions asked. If you can cut the cards you can do this. Inside two minutes you know the card the spectator is thinking of and you can build up the effect into...

An amazing two-pack coincidence routine.

The performer exhibits two decks of cards, one red, the other blue. He picks up one deck and shows it to be quite ordinary, both back and front. He asks a spectator to assist by placing the deck face-down behind his back and cutting it any number of times, completing the cut each time then to remove two or three cards from the deck and place them in his (spectator's) pocket without looking at them.

He then requests spectator to square the pack and bring it from behind his back held in such a manner so that performer cannot get a glimpse of any card....

You need not have Remote Propless Prediction to learn and use the routines in this manuscript. But by learning both, you will have a far wider range of routines in this category.

The performer asks a participant to play an imaginary game over a voice phone call. The participant may be thousands of miles away at the other end of the call. The participant makes several free choices but all in her mind alone, she does not say anything out loud. But the final result is already predicted by the performer in a very innovative manner.

The climax can be very visual if you choose that option in performance. The participant...
