The Best in MagicBruce Elliott The magic tricks presented here are subtle, easy to do, and require little or no apparatus. The inventions of some of our greatest magicians, these are sleights that involve a minimum of practice but achieve a maximum of effect. Here are card tricks that are almost foolproof, and others that require some skill and more practice. Sleights for close-up performing, where the magic takes place right under the noses of the audience, and tricks with paper-folding, an ancient art adapted to modern magic, are outlined and diagramed. The author also includes tricks with coins and paper money, rings,... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
Further Expert Magic: Collected Magic Series Volume 4Percy Naldrett Excerpt from the preface: It is to be supposed (and profoundly hoped) that something good may be found herein: a quantity of sketches of more or less merit; certain idioms straight from the American; strange words in italic with wriggly accents; and, possibly, one or two typographical errors (the light is so bad in my attic and the gas has been cut off for many months past).

Classic Secrets of MagicBruce Elliott Anyone who has seen a magician perform has almost certainly seen one or more of the tricks explained in this book.

The author explains first the basic scheme of each trick, then discusses the possibilities for variation and expansion as developed by a number of famous magicians. Each of the classic tricks included here is methodically described in detail and illustrated in line drawings; none of them involves expensive... | $15 to wish list | |
Encyclopedia of SleevingJack Chanin Excerpt from the foreword by Paul Rosini: His book on the 3-Shell Game is a classic - but his new one on sleeving is superb. You may benefit from the many years that it has taken Jack to compile and simplify the different tricks in the art of sleeving. It is unbelievable how clean you can do a trick with his new methods, if used moderately. Sleeving to me is one of my most valuable assets. As you well know, practical magic is what counts, and I have always found it my magical exploits that sleeving has been very practical. In fact, many well known magicians at conventions have passed... | $12 to wish list | |

Magic as a HobbyBruce Elliott Tricks for amateur performers. Excerpt from the foreword by Orson Welles: It is entirely possible that this excellent book should never have been published - not like this; anyway, not for general sale. There are two kinds of magic books, you know. The kind they give away with the box top off a breakfast cereal, and this kind of book, which tells explicitly and with pictures - so the reader can really get the hang of them - valuable secrets of professional magic. In brief, I'm sorry that this one is so very good but I'd be honestly sorrier if it were bad. At the outset it should... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
More Magical Experiments: Collected Magic Series Volume 5Percy Naldrett Excerpt from the Preamble: The first volume of this never-to-be-too-much-praised series of pragmatical, pneumatical and windy problems I published for love; the second for fame, the third for a wager, the fourth from habit and this present one which you now hold in your much too shaky hands, for money. Alas, it is so with all enthusiasm and desire: something fades. But, I promise you, this is not the last you will hear of me. Be frolic then, and delve into and dig out from herein the information you so much desire; but I pray that you may not discover from whom I borrow my preliminary thunder. ... | $10 to wish list | |
Collected Magic Series Volume 6Percy Naldrett Excerpt from the introduction: Remember, I beg of you, as you read this book, that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, and have hope within you, that you may discover herein the very item your frousty programme lacks. Believe me, the age of miracles has not ceased. And you, critics, reviewers and turnip-munchers, bestir your jaded parrots in praise of this book, but whether you boom it or burst it, consider also this: that all the secret subtleties, the cute little, quaint little moves, the tricks of affectation and of style, all the glory and delight of accidental discovery,... | $10 to wish list | |

Life's a Beach Volume 2Gary Jones Gary is one of those performers who is equally at home presenting magic to lay people or to a room full of magicians, and his creative output reflects those two requirements. Some of the magic in this collection is designed to intrigue and fool magicians, while other effects are fast, direct and perfect for working under almost any commercial conditions. What all the magic has in common is that the methods have been constructed to extract the maximum effect for the minimum of fuss. Some of Gary's handlings do require some sleight of hand - he is very fond of palming cards, for instance... | $18 to wish list | |

Collected Magic Series Volume 8Percy Naldrett Excerpt from the introduction: No, my ever so constant and indefatigable readers, this book contains no marvels, but merely the practical effects of men who conjure, men who think and men who achieve, in contradistinction to the dreamers who dream. I said just now that there was nothing startling in this book; but there is some very good Magic. The "Snowman" takes my fancy. True, it makes use of plaguey and never-sufficiently-damned tubes. The peculiar stringing of a pack of cards which you will find on page - (How can I tell on which page it will eventually appear!) is alone worth the... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Herrmann's Book of MagicAlexander Herrmann A complete and practical guide to drawing-room and stage magic for professionals and amateurs, including a complete exposure of the black art. Excerpt from the introduction: Do not cultivate quick movements; at the same time it will never do to be painfully slow; but endeavor to present your tricks in an easy-going, quiet, graceful manner. It is generally understood that “the quickness of the hand deceives the eye,” but this is entirely erroneous. It is impossible for the hand to move quicker than the eye can follow, as can be proved by experiment. The deception really lies in the... | $10 to wish list | |
Out of your PocketMerlyn T. Shute This is an informative ebook for table-hoppers and folks who work or would like to work close-up magic venues: tips, advice, and routines. Excerpt from the Foreword: Why this book on restaurant magic? There are several reasons why any book is written - money, ego, sincere desire to pass on knowledge discovered or acquired. All are valid reasons and, being related to the author, are very personal. But this book falls out of the ordinary since it was not the author's idea in the first place but resulted from the demands of friends. After the initial suggestions, however, the project unfolded... | $15 to wish list | |

Wayne Dobson and FriendsWayne Dobson Excerpt from the Introduction: Some people perform magic and some people are magic, but very few possess both of these qualities. I believe that the contributors to this book are genuine exceptions. It was Derek Lever who suggested to me that I should write this book. At first I was a little apprehensive about approaching my friends as I didn't want to feel that I was exploiting their status. I really shouldn't have worried as all the people featured in this book were more than happy to oblige - they have all been very generous in contributing some of their best material.

In fact, many of the tricks in this book have been published earlier in Abra, and Magigram.

Magic of MerrimentSolyl Kundu In this ebook Solyl gives you an assortment of practical entertainment, from clever close-up with a plug for a prospective booking, to colourful, entertaining, and very impressive conjuring and stage magic. All simple to perform, and enjoyable to watch. Excerpt from the introduction: I do not claim that this book is full of novel notions which are mind boggling and which will set the magic world ablaze. But I must say, keeping modesty aside for a moment, that the contents are all 'practical goodies'. Not always very original, but their dressing has fetched me laughs, applause, rewards,... | $6 to wish list | |
The Magic of MahadevanandaMahadevananda Excerpt from the introduction: My real forte is, I think, being able to take a couple of standard effects and shove them together and get a bit of a different effect. I also enjoy reading old magazines on Magic and reviving some of the good things that have been covered in dust for years. Who said, if you want to keep an original idea secret, publish it in a magazine? Truly, many real gems can be unearthed by plowing through old books and magazines.
