Magical RevelationsJohn Albert BriggsExcerpt from the introduction by Herbert Holmes: When I read the MSS. of this volume I did not imagine there could be so many good things left to divulge, and I am sure readers will agree with me that the title of the book is well chosen. I have personally seen Merbak perform many of the tricks described in this book, and so completely mystifying were they, that the simple explanations are indeed a revelation. In commending the volume to the magical fraternity, I do so in the hope that it will be the forerunner of many others from his pen. For, Merbak's knowledge of Magic is so extensive,... | $9 to wish list | |

Triplets: all 10 issuesGregg WebbEach issue of this series by Gregg Webb started out as three articles - hence the name. Usually, each issue was devoted to a topic such as cards, coins, or mental magic ideas.

I've been a magic dealer for over 35 years, a semi-retired performer, and a lover of the art for too many years to talk about. Very little I do is original and I don't really do it that well, BUT ... I do have a nice smile and a large mouth so people DO seem to enjoy my meager efforts...

Modern Master MysteriesBrunel WhiteExcerpt from the introduction: It would not be out of place for me to here add what Mr. Louis C. Haley (author of that fine book The Dramatic Art of Magic) pointed out re the effects in Original Mysteries, as the same remarks apply to every effect in this present work, that the whole of the apparatus used for obtaining the effects could be made up at home.

Studies in MysteryEric C. LewisExcerpt from the introduction: In any case, you will find that the tricks in this book, and in others I hope to publish at intervals during the war, all are good practical effects. In almost every case the trick will be described fully, with all necessary details and nothing left for you to wonder about. Thus I believe that the dozen tricks fully described in this book, will be of more value to you than twice that number briefly described. None of the effects in this series are "padding". Each item is of real use to the practicing conjurer. This is part one of the Studies Series. | $12 to wish list | |
Cheerful ConjuringDan BellmanExcerpt from the introduction: There is no difficulty in the working of any trick.

Indeed, every trick that follows can be worked by anyone, and though some are extremely simple, I advocate that you give them all the test of a trial before passing judgment. You will then find you have ample and spacious pastures.

Magic as We Do ItEric C. Lewis & Dan BellmanExcerpt from the foreword: Mr. Bellman has sent me many of his ideas. These I have sifted, adapted and eliminated so you get the cream. My own effects have passed through the same purging process with the result that every trick in this book is one you can work. Do not be satisfied with the mere reading of this book; follow it by practice. An effect that seems dead in the cold light of the formality of words often bursts into a flame of burning amazement when translated into Action. The true test of a trick is not how artistically it can be described, but the effect upon the non-magical... | $12 to wish list |
