Nothing has been kept out of this book.

Timely TrickeryJon RacherbaumerWhile we all intuitively understand what time is, even a child can tell you what time it is, it is a hard concept to fully understand from a scientific point of view. It is hard to define, and wrap your head around. That is part of the intrigue of making it the topic of a magic effect. Particularly for an interested and sophisticated audience it can be a very effective plot line. Jon Racherbaumer explores how magicians have made use of it over the decades, and he has unearthed some remarkable gems.

Karl Norman 40 Years at the ForksAnthony Brahams & Mike PorstmannThis is an excellent cross-section of some of Karl Norman's best routines.

The Miracle MakersJ. G. Thompson Jr.From the back cover by Karl Fulves: The Thompson name having been associated with quality magic for the past fifty years, the reader of this new book will need no recommendation as to the value of the material. It contains all of the Thompson trademarks; new ideas, subtle approaches, smoothly routined magic, impeccably researched articles, inscrutable titles, excellent patter and presentation suggestions. All of this is well known and indeed synonymous with the Thompson name. There is another facet to the material in this book which may not be readily apparent however, and it is this which I'd like... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |
My Latest BookKarrell FoxFrom the Foreword by Bill Wells: In 1945 (at the age of 17), Karrell became one of the first magicians to ever appear at a trade show. This first effort led to what is perhaps the most successful trade show/magic association in the history of magic with Karrell being the first magician to appear at a national automobile show. There followed 22 years of appearances on these shows. This early association also led to Karrell being the first magician to appear in shopping malls and the production of the highly successful "Magic World of Ford." The three million dollar production, with six... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |

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 | |

The Creation of MagicPeter WilkerA practical guide to the invention of tricks plus newly created tricks. "I must say that I was prepared to dislike this book ... Wilker's discussion, however, is so pleasant and unassuming that one can hardly disagree with him. In part, this is because Wilker seems to recognize the inherent problems in stating hard and fast rules about creativity and so limits his conclusions accordingly." - Stephen Hobbs From the Preface: This book reflects my own knowledge and thoughts on the subject of inventing tricks. Part 1 is devoted to this process and by reading its introduction you will, dear reader,... | $20 to wish list | |
The Magic of RezvaniMaurice SardinaTranslated from French (La Magie du Sorcier) to English by Dariel Fitzkee. It details the tricks, moves, ideas, and improvements of Rezvani, the Persian magician who has been a sensation among the magicians of Paris. Overall it is an excellent work, particularly for those who appreciate the finer points of sleights and how they are deployed in tricks. There is a lot here for card magicians. Also his most famous trick the Tomato trick is explained, but for that routine, I suggest studying The Cushions of the Princess: or the tomato game. Paul Flemming writes: Medjid Kan Rezvani, a native of Persia who now resides in Paris, is recognized as one of the most... | ★★★★★ $20 to wish list | |

CapsoulDeepak MishraTurn a cap into a magic prop and have cards appear and change. For example, you can use it for a kind of 'card stabbing' routine where you spring the cards and catch one card in your cap. Or have one card visually change into another. To make the gimmicks requires some arts and crafts, but nothing too complicated and no supplies you wouldn't likely already have. The separate effects are:
Not all gimmicks can be incorporated into the same cap and thus not all effects shown could be done with just one cap. Deepak also explains a lovely linking effect... | $19.95 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
The Dai Vernon Book of MagicLewis Ganson & Dai VernonI was lucky that I stumbled across this book very early on in my magic development. It had a huge impact on how I approached magic and how I think today about magic. The introductory chapter "The Vernon Touch" should be mandatory reading for every magician. I would go so far as to recommend re-reading it every year. Martin Breese wrote: "One of the most important books of magic ever written." Max Holden said: "I consider Vernon the greatest man with a pack of cards of the present day." Many consider Dai Vernon, the professor, as one who had probably the biggest impact on magic in recent times. ... | ★★★★★ $19.90 to wish list |
