Harry Baron performed magic for over sixty years and was a Member of the Inner Magic Circle with the coveted Gold Star. His books have sold around the world and have been translated into many languages. Apart from writing Magic for Beginners he produced instructions for hundreds of other tricks. He owned his own magic studio and manufactured apparatus for amateurs and professionals. As a result of managing the conjuring department of the famous Gamages store for nearly thirty years, he met most of the world's leading magicians. He lectured and taught conjuring to professional groups, as well...

In this ebook you will find material that entertains and amazes, but more importantly, it is material that 'mere mortals' can actually do. Two dozen incredible routines. Cards, coins, and parlor/platform material is included.

Nothing is duplicated from Scott's other ebooks, lecture notes, or DVD--with one exception, and that has been greatly expanded and updated.

These routines bear the Guinn trademarks of clever thinking and thoughtful construction, from a man who has been called "one of our best close-up and stand-up performers" (Aldo Colombini, in The Linking Ring) and "one of the best writers in...

This is the big book of Pavel's creative magic. A collection of some forty tricks using silks, ropes, cards, bottles and other objects, plus the author's philosophy regarding the creation of original magic. (A more detailed discussion of the innovative process used by Pavel can be found in his Magical Creation.)

Pavel lectured throughout the world, performed at the Magic Castle, at the Ed Sullivan show and countless other venues. Peter Warlock nicely characterizes Pavel's magic when he writes: "The beauty of Pavel's magic lies in its simplicity of plot and the simplicity of means to attain the necessary...

And indeed we have contributions from the finest magicians living at that time: Chung Ling Soo, Harry Houdini, Servais Le Roy, Conradi, Chefalo, Oswald Williams and Chris Van Bern and others.

The Effect: The magi removes his house key from his key chain and entrusts the spectator with the remainder of his keys. The magus then promptly causes the house key to vanish and reappear on the key ring in the spectator's hand. Sleeves up, no holding out, completely clean vanish. Watch the Demo. This was another big hit of Jeff's on Underground Jam. The particular vanish (a Richard Ross idea) used for the key is the big killer that really inspired a lot of magicians. You don't want to miss this one!

Fun Side Note by Jeff: This effect was actually a dream that I had. I needed five effects...

Glass through table is a classic of magic that is at least a hundred years old. You can even find it described in children magic books. The key to this effect is misdirection which requires a good amount of showmanship and spectator handling. Otherwise it is pure simplicity. With the tips and presentation by J.C. Wagner you will turn this classic into a modern and entertaining miracle.

runtime 6min 30s

Many consider this the definitive version of this now classic effect. The recording includes not just the instructions but also the music for your actual performance. However keep in mind that this is not a royalty free music.

Additionally to the audio you will also download a PDF with many photographs taken to show a step by step method of constructing and performing this great effect. Photographs were taken by Martin Breese.

Practical effects with cards, flowers and silks. Here is Verrall Wass in his own words about the motivation of this book:

For several years Aldo had a column in the Linking Ring magazine. At the time Phil Willmarth was the editor and he was so kind and open minded enough that he basically let Aldo make fun of everything and everyone.

The columns not only contained some good magic but Aldo was able to include some funny stuff as well. Also, between tricks and gags you will find suggestions on how to improve your presentations with regards to our art of magic.

The structure of the column was an easy one: 1) Some fun and 2) some magic and it worked. Aldo has collected in this e-book many of his favorite columns...

Here’s another ebook from Aldo containing 21 routines using sponge balls, coins, newspaper, cards, jumbo cards, balls, ropes, rubber bands and more. Aldo has been using some of these routines during his acts for quite some years; “Jumbo Jumble” for example, is still one of his favorite effects, so is “Real Danger” which he uses a lot. For close-up workers, do not overlook “Heart 2 Heart,” “Nose Out” and “Another’s Bet.”

You also have a couple of very strong routines here for children’s entertainers, namely “Kaleidoscope Ropes” and “Knot Knots.”

• Countdown ...

In this set of notes you will find several tricks and routines that have served Aldo well during the last few years as a stand-up performer. In fact, the tricks explained here can all be done standing up as no table is required and are great for walk around or strolling magic. Done this way you simply use the hands of the spectators to help you.

Aldo has written these tricks and routines with the assumption that you already know some basic magic such as a card control, a Double Undercut, an Elmsley Count and the like. Aldo's purpose here is not to teach you ‘sleights’ but rather ‘routines’...
