Magic & Conjuring: page 16

Excerpt from the introduction:

"Now the question arises, who will be the legitimate successor to Prof. Hoffmann? I will venture to predict that it will be another Briton, Brunel White, whose first plunge into the literary end of the business, "Original Mysteries For Magicians," in my humble opinion, with the single exception of "Modern Magic," the best book I have yet seen, and there are hundreds of Magicians who will agree with me." - Maurice Bliss

This is an informative ebook for table-hoppers and folks who work or would like to work close-up magic venues: tips, advice, and routines.

Excerpt from the Foreword:

Here are a devil's dozen effects, moves and miracles for the semi-professional that, for the most part, don't rely on external gimmicks. It's one of those rare books that, the more you read it, the more you'll appreciate it. Not written for the faint of heart. If you're after bold, professional magic, this is the book for you. (And yes, the title is a pun on H. G. Well's Outline of History. Kudos if you caught that.)

You'll find effects for close-up, platform and stage. The details are provided as if you were a trusted confidante of the author.

You do not require a table to perform these routines. From this material you can create two complete acts.

CLEAN CUT ROPE (Aldo Colombini): A different way to perform the standard cut and restored rope effect!

STRANGER IN PARADISE (Ed Marlo): A red-backed deck is placed in a glass. You remove cards one at a time until a spectator says ‘stop.’ At the stop, that card is the only one with a blue back!

DOGGIE DEXTERITY (Aldo Colombini): Comedy at its best with a balloon twisted into a poodle who finds a selected card!

CARD ON PLATE (Ken de Courcy): You spin a plate with one hand and have...

This is Martin's continuation of After the Dessert with more impromptu tricks you can do at the lunch or dinner table. You will learn tricks with sugar cubes, silverware, paper matches, napkins, cigars, cigarettes, coins and glasses. There is also a section on folding money.

One unique feature of this particular ebook is that all line drawings are not merely raster images but vector graphics. This means you can zoom into any of the illustrations and you will never run into a resolution limit where individual pixels will prevent you from further zooming.

Show love for your country, audience or corporate sponsor by adding one or more patriotic effects, tips or suggestions to your program.

No one person could have invented so many effects. Solomon Stein, the author of Magic, Maestro, Please, reached out to the best minds in magic to bring you this fine collection of audience-pleasing magic.

As B. W. McCarron notes in the introduction, audiences like to feel that they are involved in a performance. By showing your audience that you care, you are going the extra mile that will result in more and better paying shows for you.

Patriotic effects make excellent photo opportunities...

After Rosini's death, Frederick Braue wrote in the February, 1949 issue of Hugard's Magic Monthly, "What a book Rosini could have written - and now his knowledge of audiences is lost. Others, take note." Unfortunately, Rosini never did get the chance to write a book detailing his own methods. He planned on writing one, but his dream was never realized during his lifetime.

In 1947 Paul approached his longtime friend and fellow magician Rufus Steele to aid him in writing a book of his tricks. Steele was a mysterious character whose background was questionable to say the least. An electrical engineer by trade, Rufus was also a gambler and...

The Perpetuity Tube is a perfect follow up for one of Ron's other ebooks called Bill Burner because it uses an objects that's logical to have with a lighter (a small cigar tube). In other words it's a perfect place for the vanished bill to magically (and visually) travel into.

But that's not all you can do with these little tubes. Just about anything that can fit in them can be made to magically and visually appear, vanish or turn into other objects in a very visual manner. Just to give you an idea of the kinds of things you can accomplish with the Perpetuity tubes:

This is a wonderful and extremely rare book. If you could find this book at all somewhere to purchase, you would need to put down around $5000. But it is not just its rarity which is so fascinating, it is its contents. This is a great magic book. Many outstanding tricks are taught. I found new routines and new principles I haven't seen and read anywhere else - and I consider myself as fairly well read in magic. I love this book. It is highly recommended.

It describes how to change the color of a rose. How to shoot a bird and bring it back to life. How to drown a fly for 24 hours and bring...

From the Foreword:

[Note that this is a translation from Spanish which is not in perfect English. But this should not inhibit your comprehension. There are many photos which support the explanations.]

MY RING AND ROPE ROUTINE: This is a routine with a regular ring and rope (no gimmicks). The ring magically penetrates the rope several times and finally ends up knotted onto the rope.

CARD-CLIP TRANSPOSITION: Magician states he will show a magic trick with a French deck of playing cards and two paper clips, one red and the other black, showing and leaving the paper clips separately. He extends the playing cards face up between his hands and invites the spectator to point out or name any red card. Once the red card is chosen and signed with a felt-tip pen (optional), the red paper clip...

COLOR CHANGING DECK: Magician lets a card be chosen from a blue back deck, rubs his back against a red box and the card changes its back colour from blue to red. Then he does a demonstration of how he changes the colour of the backs of the cards, in slow motion. He slides his fingers over the back of another card and it changes its colour little by little until the back remains completely red. Not satisfied with that, he gives a magic touch with the red box on the deck and it changes the back colour of all the cards from blue to red. The deck can be examined at the end of the routine.

THE HYPNOSIS SYSTEM
"Make the Spectator forget something they just signed"

A spectator signs a business card where a few signs/objects/suits/names/etc. are written. This Spectator must memorize their order. The signed business card is given to another Spectator. The Performer suddenly "hypnotizes" the first Spectator (by clapping his hands for instance or whatever). The First Spectator must repeat what he saw on the business card but he will always forget one of the objects! Much fun watching the reactions of the audience and of the "victim"!

THE DIE IS CAST
