The Drawing RoomPaul A. Lelekis![]() 6 beautiful effects that are stronger than The Hulk! When I was a kid, I purchased magic books from the 1800s by Prof. Hoffman, Herrmann, Jean Robert-Houdin, and a host of other magicians who I've never heard of before ... these books were old, with very yellowed, brittle pages, with artwork that was quite intricate and very Victorian. But what stood out most to me, were how many times these books would mention performing in, or retiring to "the drawing room" ... this term really intrigued me. These stellar effects within, will "spark" those magical times in your lives that have lasted us for so many years. Effects: ... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |

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 | |

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.
