Magic BalloonsKen de Courcy![]() From the introduction: It was that well-known West Country entertainer, Roy Van Dyke, who made me realise balloons can be used for more purposes than screwing into strange shapes sometimes resembling animals. He has a terrific opening trick that has colour, movement and noise that never fails to grab and hold the attention of today's show-saturated audiences.

Magic for the Civic ClubEarl Reum![]() There are many shows to be had among the various luncheon, commercial and civic clubs found in all cities, but they don't really like "fun shows." They prefer something with a message. The excellent program Dr. Reum has created here, based on his own experience, ties in with magic tricks you probably have at home. This is all tied in very neatly with the patter which is so suitable and so right for the organization show. It can also be exactly timed, which is also a must with these shows. Dr. Reum was co-ordinator of student activities of the city of Denver, plus being obligated for many... | $6.95 to wish listPDF & EPUB | |

Magic for the MillionsGreer Maréchal, Jr.![]() This is an excellent magic book that deserves to be known more widely. Bruce Elliott wrote in the foreword: This introduction to a noble and ancient kind of amusement will lead you as a primer should, from the easy to the more difficult. It stops short of the really difficult, again as a primer should. It helps you on the road to becoming, for better or worse, a magician. For the better? Yes, for a way to enjoy yourself, to get a kick out of performing something that is out of the ordinary. For the worse? If this book serves its purpose, you will have set your faltering feet on the rocky... | $20 to wish list | |
Magic From BelowCharles Waller![]() From the Introduction: Let the reader not misunderstand the title of this book - the term "below" has reference to the Antipodes, where the writer has his dwelling, and not to those regions whence an earlier and more credulous people imagined the magician to derive his powers.

Magic From GermanyPeter Wilker![]() From the introduction: In English-speaking countries very little is known about magic in Germany, let alone in other countries like Poland, Switzerland or Spain. Unless a magician from one of these countries attends conventions in Britain or America regularly, and unless he speaks English, he will rarely be known. The two German magicians I want to talk about in these Lecture Notes - one from each side of the former Berlin wall - are perhaps the two best known in Germany today. Their names are Joro and Jochen Zmeck - how many of my readers, however, have ever heard of them? Joro's real name is Bruno... | $12 to wish list | |

The first third of the book provides some general discussion of getting restaurant work and how to promote yourself. Beautiful illustrations have been drawn by Tony Dunn. 1st edition 2003 by The Cairn Press, 96 pages; 1st digital edition 2012, 92 pages. Table of Contents

Magic in Cabaret LandKen de Courcy![]() From the introduction: The word itself, "Cabaret", carries overtones that conjure exotic pictures of nude dancers, the "Moulin Rouge" and German Beer Cellars; a sort of high-class iniquitous entertainment enjoyed by the lucky few. But that is all changed. It's been brought down to the level of the man-in-the-street. Now he can have a ringside seat for dining, dancing, drinking, a show ... and gambling. Yet he won't take advantage of all this 'loose-living' unless there is also a "SHOW", as the proprietors of these establishments well know. There is a plethora of singers and 'groups', and... | $10 to wish list | |
Magic in the Modern MannerOrville Wayne Meyer![]() This is a work most will not be familiar with. Many will dismiss it with 'another old magic book'. But those in the know have carefully studied it and hold it dear as one of the most valuable books for a working professional magician. It is the original and the only one of four places where Annemann's bullet catch is described, because it was Orville Meyer who supplied Annemann with the method. All the three other places where this is described are out of print and hard to impossible to find. And now this lost Orville Meyer gem has been made even more valuable by extensive annotations and a new... | ★★★★★ $50 to wish list | |

Magic is Fun / Magic for EveryoneHereward Carrington![]() From the introduction: There is no more fascinating study, when once an interest in the subject has been aroused, than conjuring - or, as it is popularly called, "Magic." One of the most delightful of all pastimes is the inventing and performing of new tricks, and watching their effect upon the audience - who do not know the secrets of the various "sleights" performed. We all know how fascinating the professional conjuror's entertainment is, - and how mystifying! So I propose to take my readers, - in the present book, - into the very heart of the mystery - to explain exactly how the important... | $10 to wish list | |

Magic Made EasyDavid Devant![]() An excellent selection of tricks by no other than David Devant. From his introduction: I have always maintained that the art of the conjurer is closely allied to that of the actor, but with this difference: the actor selects a character and impersonates it. He has all the advantages of a proper dress, suitable to the character he is playing, of beautiful scenery, and music, and lighting, and the various other little things which are comprised in the theatrical word “effects.” The actor has all these aids to assist him in persuading people that the man they see is not the actor, but... | $10 to wish list | |
