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 | |
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 Complete Eye-OpenersRalph W. Hull & Paul GordonComprising Eye-Openers and More Eye-Openers plus R. W. Hull's Supreme Mental Discernment. Paul Fleming wrote about More Eye-Openers: The late Ralph W. Hull was a tireless originator in the field of magic, and was particularly active in devising amazing mysteries with playing cards. The Tuned Deck, which he described as "my most cherished trick," was accorded nineteen pages in the monumental work, Greater Magic. Other Ralph W. Hull specialties have appeared in the form of pamphlets, one of which is the subject of this review. John Northern Hilliard wrote a foreword to More Eye Openers, in which he... | ★★★★★ $10 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 | |
The Coolest Ace Trick in the WorldJeff StoneThe Story: The era of the "greasers" was coming to an end. They had all gone by the way side; they had all moved to the wicked city of Hoyletown. But there were a few who wouldn't stand for the death of the greatest era of Bicycle Village's history. The time had come for the last remaining greasers to work a miracle. The notorious Gang of Aces had taken all they could stand. Now is the time to show the world who we are. This is our deck and we're not gonna take it anymore. We'll show them. We will use whatever means necessary to keep the story alive. We will use magic, sorcery and trickery; it... | $4 to wish listMP4 (video) | |

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 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 Duffie DiaryPeter DuffieThis is a very commercial, practical, and effective diary effect. (Works with any diary.) You begin by shuffling a deck and placing it on the table. You never touch the deck again. You now give the spectator your pocket diary which he may examine before placing it in his pocket. You never touch the diary again. The spectator will now create a random date. He cuts the deck – this is a free cut – and turns over the card cut to. The value of this card will represent the month. This can truly be any value. He counts the cards that he cut – this will represent the day. This can truly... | $14.95 to wish list | |
The Emerald MysteryWarner PerryAn incredible Nate Leipzig card effect, now redesigned with subtlety, instead of knuckle-busting sleight of hand. A deck of cards is genuinely shuffled. The spectator then chooses a suit and removes the corresponding thirteen cards from the deck. The performer chooses another suit and likewise removes his thirteen cards. The spectator places the top card of his packet on the bottom of his packet; the magician duplicates this procedure. The spectator places his next card face down on the table. The magician does likewise. The spectator then alternately places cards on the bottom of his packet... | ★★★★★ $4 to wish list | |
The EmulatorsMark E. BeckEffect: The spectator selects a card from the performer’s deck and does not reveal it to the performer until requested to do so. The performer then shows a packet of four Jokers to the spectator, displaying the faces and backs of all four cards. He then asks the spectator to wave his selected card over the Jokers he is holding in his hand. When the performer turns the packet face up and displays the cards, they are no longer Jokers! Instead, all four cards are now identical to the spectator’s selected card! But that’s not all! When the performer squares the four cards back together,... | $10 to wish listPDF & MP4 | |

The Expert at the Card TableS. W. ErdnaseOriginally entitled Artifice Ruse and Subterfuge at the Card Table, is probably the most cited and referenced book about card gambling moves - a classic in the history of magic literature. A must read for any card magician or aspiring gambling expert and an indespensable reference book. While the authorship of this book is hotly debated we are convinced it was Edward Gallaway. (For a detailed work on the search for Erdnase see Hurt McDermott's Artifice, Ruse & Erdnase.) [A copy of this book is also included in Michael McDougall's Card Mastery. This ebook is also available in a German translation. Paul Fleming wrote: The information contained in this book is the very basis of modern card conjuring. When first... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
