Further Magic of the HandsEdward VictorThis is volume three in the classic sleight-of-hand trilogy. From the foreword by Douglas Craggs: In this volume the reader will find a valuable and varied collection of magical effects with something to appeal to all tastes and styles. Whatever selection the reader ultimately makes from the book to enlarge his programme, may I express the hope that he will pay the author the compliment of thorough rehearsal before public presentation. Good tricks, cunning subtleties, need to be learned with care; otherwise the author's time and the reader's money are wasted, and the public is disappointed.... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

Here are the contents; none require any difficult sleights and all are easy to do. Bombay Rope Cut: A cut and restored rope that involves tying no knots. Zella Ring on Rope: A spectator ties the ends of a length of rope together. The performer then passes a borrowed ring onto... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |

Exquisite ConjuringFriedrich W. Conradi-HorsterConradi was the largest manufacturer of magic apparatus in Germany in the early 20th century. He wrote and published several major magic books and his magazine Zauberspiegel (Magic Mirror) predates Mahatma, the first American magic magazine. We should not forget that around 1900 Germany was dominating the magic market. Some of the largest magic retailers in the US, such as Roterberg, built their entire business on importing goods from various German manufacturers, such as Conrad-Horster, and then reselling them in the US. Roterberg's most successful book New Era Card Tricks was little more than a translation of effects taken from various... | $8 to wish list | |
Some More Exquisite ConjuringFriedrich W. Conradi-HorsterFrom the Foreword: When publishing my first book in the English language, Exquisite Conjuring, I was led by the thoughts, that perhaps, after having edited over 30 books about Magic in German, it may be an interesting experiment to see, what the English speaking fraternity would have to say, if I would publish a book in the English language and if the praise, I received from all sides as an author of books on Magic since these last 20 years and more, would really warrant such a new venture! Well, I must say, that my expectations have not only been realised, but they have in fact been surpassed by far in... | $8 to wish list | |

California Lecture 2006Alexander de CovaFrom the introduction: You will find that most of my mterial is suitable for the stand-up performer. This is due to the fact that in Europe there aren't too many opportunities to work restaurants, bars and other close-up situations. We have to deal with small stand-up shows, birthday parties, wedding parties, smaller theatres and cabarets, and the like. Naturally, if you want to survive as a performer, you will have to adapt to this situation and develop suitable material. Above all, the material must be direct and to the point, because the European audiences generally don't have too much... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list |
