The Circle FanRicky Kinosa Most every card man can do a pressure fan and many can do one-handed fans but can you do a circular fan, one that goes around 360 degrees and closes on itself? There are a few methods in circulation. Ricky explains the one developed by Toyozane Sanada. Sanada is a very creative Japanese magician who invented among other things the Sanada gimmick which is very effective for sponge ball work. However, there is no good explanation of how to do the Sanada fan in print. You can find it demonstrated on a number of videos but there is no good explanation that teaches the technique at least not in English. ... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
The Classic Cider SwindleR. Shane From the preface of the ebook: So there we were, we being the usual collection of magical maffickers, that is to say Robert Neale, Larry White, Ed Solomon, Ron Dayton and your humble narrator, in one of our usual email exchanges but which was quite unusual. You see, Larry had just sent a video of a really neat card rise to all of us. It looked great and we were all commenting about it and speculating on it. This was most unusual since Larry hates card tricks the way most of us hate mustard on chocolate ice cream with pickle topping. Actually, he hates cards tricks more than that and would probably... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish list | |
The Coin and Card Magic of Bobby BernardVal Andrews Excerpt from the Foreword: This is a book about the close-up magic of Bobby Bernard ... There have not been too many books in the past on close-up as opposed to those devoted purely to sleights. Hugard brought out a great little book on the subject in the Thirties, and two decades later Bert Allerton's book was splendid. But now we have another book, which we feel sure will become a classic of its kind. The book which you hold contains a wealth of moves, tricks and routines, from which any discerning reader could select a repertoire likely to gain him a reputation. Of particular interest is section 3 with several short essays and opinions on... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |

No re-set, this can be done in walkabout or in a close up/parlour show. The Invisible Deck Routine - Mark's classic take on the well known plot, but in which no real deck is ever used.

The Commercial Card Magic of Roger CrosthwaiteWalt Lees Excerpt from the introduction: It was way back in the early 1960's that I first heard the name Roger Crosthwaite. He had a series of articles running in the Gen magazine and Lewis Ganson and others of note, were frequently singing his praises. I remember reading several of his pocket picking routines and, although I never attempted to do any of them, for some reason the name of Roger Crosthwaite stuck in my mind. It was not for another ten years that I saw or heard any more of him. In the early seventies, I was working full time in Hamley's magic department in Regent Street, London, when a clergyman, who had been watching... | $14 to wish list | |
The Complete Cannibal ActWalt Lees Extract from the preface: It was in 1972 that Fred Snook first drew my attention to the "Cannibal Cards". A little later, I was lucky enough to see Matt Corin performing his version of the trick. He told me that he had published it in "Kabbala" a few months previously and that the original idea stemmed from an effect by Lyn Searles. I was able, shortly afterwards, to obtain a copy of the Corin routine. Earlier on, in 1966 I had purchased a copy of Harry Lorayne's "Close-Up Card Magic" and had, for some time, used the Jay Ose version of the Garcia "Apex Ace", described in that excellent book. When I began to work on... | $14 to wish list | |

Hull specialties have appeared in the form of pamphlets, one of which is the subject of this review.

The Complete Page Wright ManuscriptT. Page Wright In the late twenties Larsen & Wright (William Larsen, Sr. and T. Page Wright) were prominent names in magic. They produced a flood of contributions to magic magazines, over one hundred in The Sphinx alone in 1927-28 (so many in fact that The Sphinx felt compelled to publish much of it under a variety of pseudonyms). But in addition there were the Larsen & Wright publications, a large series of printed books and manuscripts offering a mass of original material not appearing in the periodicals. When T. Page Wright died tragically in 1930, he left behind the finished manuscript for a mooted book. Incredibly,... | $35 to wish list | |
