11. A Tip...

This magazine was the house organ of the "Magic Shop of the West". It started as a small free newsletter that grew into a full fledged magic periodical with original trick contributions.

The Magical Arts Journal was a monthly magazine published by Michael Ammar and Adam Fleischer in the 80's. Each issue, now a collectable, contains a wealth of information on effects, business, theory and stories on magic. It is a ground breaking magical publication devoted to both the art and business of magic that was published and edited by FISM world champion magician Michael Ammar and magic publishing and event production innovator Adam J. Fleischer.

You’ll find timeless business insights, original performance material and priceless tips and advice about the work and money in magic...

This is a very special and final issue of the Magical Arts Journal - a magazine published by Michael Ammar and Adam J. Fleischer in the mid-1980's. This is Volume 3, Issues 1-5. The Aspen Bar Magic issue covers Doc Eason, of the Tower Bar and Restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, as well as other famous bar magicians. It is loaded with world-class bar and restaurant magic! Michael Ammar includes some of his best material, as does many other contributors.

The back cover of the issue states:

In this special issue of the Magical Arts Journal, Paul Harris gives his entire act. In his opening statements, Michael Ammar says:

This is the special "Double Issue" of MAJ featuring the magic from the French magic publication, Arcane. At the time of this special issue, Arcane was a bi-monthly magazine published in France by Jean Yves Prost and Michel Balandras. The magazine featured the who's-who in magic, and yet was mostly unknown to English-speaking magicians. This was the English language debut. Michael was allowed to hand-pick material from the 13 year old publication to include in the this double issue. See the incredible table of contents below. The issue even includes the Hofzinser Spread Control, which Michael uses frequently...

This is a special Triple Issue of the Magical Arts Journal magazine, published by Michael Ammar. This issue represents Volume 2 - issue 4, 5 & 6.

It features Michael's full Stand Up Material - including his award-winning Cups and Balls routine! It contains beautiful illustrations by Disney animation artist Greg Manwaring - including "flip corners" to show in motion the Vernon Wand Spin.

See the fantastic list of contents below - it is amazing, and for such a little price.
