John Albert Briggs
Magical Revelations by John Albert Briggs

Excerpt 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,...

Gregg Webb
Triplets: all 10 issues by Gregg Webb

Each 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. Usually, two articles were about specific tricks and the 3rd article was sometimes an article about theory or other more general topics.

There is even material about how to learn to be creative and not simply follow the crowd. The series contains some of Gregg's most original thinking in years. If you like "outside the box" thinking, try this. Some of the items are improvements and streamlined versions of Gregg's...

Mark Leveridge
Battery Pack by Mark Leveridge

The magician picks up a card box as if to demonstrate a card trick and discovers that it rattles. Opening it, he tips from within four 3-volt circular batteries. Taking one of the batteries into his fist, he squeezes it and on opening the hand it is seen to have changed to a more powerful AAA battery. Holding this battery at the fingertips, the performer passes his other hand across it and causes it to visibly change to a larger AA battery.

Finally, he clasps his two empty hands together and on parting them reveals that now a square 9-volt battery has magically appeared!

It would not be out of place for me to here add what Mr. Louis C.

Two Amazing (Thumb Tip) Vanishes by Hal Saxon

These two TT vanishes are beginner vanishes, but they are oh-so different.

These are real foolers. Fit whatever you want in vanish one. It is a full gimmick vanish. Vanish two will hold just about anything as well. You will need a TT gimmick from your magic shop as described in the video. These are absolutely unmodified gimmicks. You probably already have one.

These two vanishes are angle-proof, close-up, easy to learn, and very deceptive. Perform these right in front of your spectator's eyes. No one, I mean no one sees the gimmick.

Vanish one is a deceptive play on the old beginner...

Eric C. Lewis
Studies in Mystery by Eric C. Lewis

Excerpt 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.

Excerpt from the introduction:

There is no difficulty in the working of any trick. Dan always aims for the simplest method of producing an effect, believing that the entertainment value of a trick is its major attraction. 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.

More Studies in Mystery by Eric C. Lewis

Excerpt from the foreword:

When I published Studies in Mystery, I was rather doubtful about its reception in wartime. But the first edition sold out in the first four weeks, and a second edition was found necessary. So this present book, a continuation of the first one, was proceeded with cheerfully, feeling that we had filled in a small corner in helping to brighten the gloomy hours of War.

Another twelve items, carefully explained, are again set out for your delight, and we sincerely hope, as we feel sure they will, that they come up to your expectations.

Eric C. Lewis & Dan Bellman
Magic as We Do It by Eric C. Lewis & Dan Bellman

Excerpt 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...
