The Drawing RoomPaul A. Lelekis6 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 Dirty DealerJules Lenier & B. W. McCarronAn entertaining close-up effect where you attempt to teach the spectator how to "dirty deal", but always goes wrong when the spectator tries. It gets funnier and funnier, ending with a surprise climax. Audiences enjoy tricks with a gambling theme. If the effect also combines comedy and mystery, then you have a triple threat combination that's sure to be remembered. The performer explains how he sent away for a mail order course in dealing cards. He offers to teach a spectator how to do it, offering a money-back guarantee. The spectator can't seem to follow directions, even though the performer... | $6 to wish list | |

The Complete Page Wright ManuscriptT. Page WrightIn 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 | |

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

The Complete Cannibal ActWalt LeesExtract 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 | |
The Commercial Card Magic of Roger CrosthwaiteWalt LeesExcerpt 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 | |

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 Coin and Card Magic of Bobby BernardVal AndrewsExcerpt 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 |
