The Modern ConjurerCharles Lang NeilThis is my favorite magic book. The reason for this is that it was a groundbreaking book at the time it appeared and its contents is excellent. It was the first magic book that had photos instead of drawings or engravings throughout. And the contents is fantastic. It is one of the few books with a large chapter on chapeaugraphy. Add to this great chapters on shadowgraphy, plate spinning and paper folding. A large part is devoted to card magic, magic with coins, balls, and handkerchiefs, and much much more. If I would have to select one book this would be it. It is a book not many people know about. But you... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

33 Deceptions with a Changing BagCharles Sylber & T. A. WhitneyYou'll no doubt be surprised at the many sensational uses Sylber and Whitney have discovered for this reliable magician's prop.

Happy Magic Part 1Charles WallerFrom the Introduction: Here, as always, I have assembled a varied lot of material in the hope that all tastes will be satisfied. It is all original; or as much so as conjuring creations usually are. I am particular in this regard, for I am almost morbidly sensitive to any charge of "piracy." This is strange when one considers that mine is the honour of having introduced the Jolly Roger as a conjuring property.

Magic From BelowCharles WallerFrom 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.

A Whirlwind of WizardryChris van Bern & Alex De VegaFrom the Introduction: Remember that the average act, which can be acquired by anyone without much practice, is seen on the Halls so often that one becomes absolutely bored with it. They are known in the profession as “Penny a bunch Acts.” Now with a little application, you can stand apart from this bunch, and be a specialist, so this book is offered in the sincere hope that you will be able to glean an act from it, and we tell you to do so in all confidence, as the material is original, and has seldom, if ever, been used in public.
