The Art of MagicThomas Nelson DownsThe collaboration of T. Nelson Downs and John Northern Hilliard produced this wonderful book. Downs was the first to introduce an act with small objects onto the vaudeville stage. He was most famous for his coin manipulation, and in particular for his version of the "Miser's Dream". The Art of Magic covers sleights with cards, coins, and balls, and teaches many tricks and routines with detailed explanations from the master. The card section in this book was epoch making. It features the first appearance in print of the side steal. Based on the number of pages dealing with card magic this is more a card book than... | ★★★★★ $5.50 to wish list | |
Star GateTerri RogersAn incredible effect based on a topological principle. Two cards are shown glued back to back. The spectator may examine them as there is nothing to find. The performer takes the cards, gives them a few deft folds and then hands them back to the spectator ... but now the cards are face to face. It looks impossible because the cards are still glued together. What's more, they are the same cards that the spectator handled earlier. There is no switch of any kind. You won't believe it yourself the first time you perform it. [Note: Originally this booklet was supplied with a Jumbo cards already prepared and glued together. This ebook comes without a set of glued cards. However, the ebook has clear explanation of the construction. You can prepare a set from regular cards with a knife and tape in a few minutes. 1st edition 1985, 1st digital edition 2013, 11 pages. [Below is a demonstration where the two cards are oriented in the same direction and not 90 degree rotated like Terri has originally designed it. The advantage of a 90 degree offset is that the card that is folded can at one time be seen partly from the front and partly from the back which is a very magical moment. This moment is missing from this version.] ... | ★★★★★ $7 more than onetype to choose from softcover PDF & EPUB | |

Annemann's Card MagicTed AnnemannThis book is actually two books: Ted Annemann's Full Deck of Impromptu Card Tricks and Annemann's Miracles of Card Magic. Annemann, perhaps more famous for his mental magic, was an extraordinary card man, a master of subtleties and misdirection. That is why most of the tricks in this collection do not require difficult moves, which does not mean that they are all easy to perform. His tricks have often the impromptu quality and can thus be performed without any prior preparation. You will also find contributions from such famous masters of card magic as Dai Vernon, Dr. Daley, Jean Hugard, Al Baker, Audley Walsh, Stewart Judah, and many others. ... | ★★★★★ $4 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 | |

Subtle Problems You will DoStewart Judah & John BraunThis is a work mostly of card magic, but not exclusively so. It has some photos and some illustrations by Sid Lorraine. From the introduction by H. Adrian Smith: Having been one of the first to read the present material, and having seen most of it presented by the authors, I can assure the reader that he is in for a treat. However, if he simply glances through the book, he may be justified when he believes that he has not received his money’s worth. This is one book that must be read with care, for it must be borne in mind that both authors are masters in the art of minute detail, and if one does not absorb the details... | $10 to wish list | |

TrackerSteven PalmerThis is a routine that can be presented as an impossible gambling skill or as a true telepathy demonstration with playing cards. The routine is semi-automatic and borders on self-working. It seems exceptionally fair to the spectator. If you can riffle shuffle a deck of cards you can perform this piece of astonishment. A brief description of the effect is that the spectator takes a deck of playing cards that he has mixed and deals them one by one as the performer has his back turned. The spectator stops dealing every time he sees a picture card and is asked to send the playing cards identity... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |

Monte's Double: A Three Card Monte EffectSteve SandersA simple and easy, but, effective way of doing the famous, or infamous, Three Card Monte. The effect where three cards are placed on a table and the 'money' card keeps appearing or disappearing! Using the story-line of Field Marshal Montgomery's attempts, during WWII, to keep the enemy guessing where he was, you use the cards to illustrate the story and allow you to use a very bad pun. You will need to buy a 'special' card or two to do this effect. But, these cards can be very easily found on the internet or obtained from your local friendly magic dealer. (Or you can make them yourself!) ... | $6 to wish list | |
Your CardSteve PellegrinoAn amazing twist to the Red Hot Mama/Chicago Opener routine. A card is selected and placed back into the middle of the deck. The magician states the selected card will reveal itself to him. As he spreads through the deck, a card with a different colored back and a paperclip with a note attached to it is seen. The note reads "Your Card!" The card is turned over, revealing the selected card. The paper-clipped card is set aside, facing down. A second spectator selects another card and an attempt is made to repeat the effect. As the magician spreads through the cards, a second with an... | $9.95 to wish list | |
The Vortex CardsStephen TuckerTwo full-color laminated Visa-type credit cards are shown. As you hold one, and move it in a circle, the image of a silver coin appears at its center, which (incredible as it sounds) you then shake off into reality! You then explain that it can just as easily be deposited back into your bank-account and removed whenever you want it. Once you've produced several coins, you can use the two Vortex Cards as covers for your favorite matrix routine. Stephen includes his Vortex-Matrix routine. This is an optical oddity that you will love and use! Pop the two Vortex Cards in your wallet and... | $12 to wish list | |
Fade AwayStephen TuckerThree face down cards are show and tabled to one side for the moment. Introducing a regular deck of cards, you have one selected, signed across its face, returned and then lost. The deck is now set aside, as you show the three cards tabled earlier. Incredibly, all three appear to be the signed selection! Then the cards become shy and refuse to show their faces in public, backing away from everyone (all three cards now have backs on both sides!) Finally, they all return to normal! This is a brilliant routine and easy to perform. Only three cards are used - apart from those in your deck... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list | |
QuartetStephen TuckerFour cards (you could use jumbos) are shown. They are all the same on the face, but one has flipped face down. They are shown again and a second has flipped face down. This is repeated until only one remains face up. You now ask if they'd like to 'see' the final card visibly flip face down? They would, but aren't too impressed when you simply remove it, and openly turn it over! However, when the four cards are dealt face up to the table... they are now all completely different, and match the four freely 'forced' cards that they chose earlier! This routine is great for mastering the... | $12 to wish list | |
Red Hot PokerStephen TuckerThe core effect is that you play a game of Poker, using just ten cards, with one other player. They choose which five cards they would like, and you take the rest. Incredible as it sounds... they receive a Full House, whilst you always win with a Royal Flush! NOTE: please don't confuse Red Hot Poker with the old "ten card poker" routine played with three sets of 'three of a kind' and a single 'odd' card. There you had to make them choose the 'odd' card in order for you to win. The routines here are nothing like that! As a special related bonus item, Peter Duffie has very kindly allowed me to include... | ★★★★★ $14 to wish list | |
OmegaStephen TuckerThe world's only examinable B'Wave - Two sets of blue Bicycle backed aces are shown. You table one set face down and have someone name any ace. With the other set behind your back, you manage to reverse their named ace (big deal!) However, you now spread the tabled set and their ace has magically reversed there too! Next, you hand someone your set of aces and, whilst in their hands, the face of their ace vanishes and the backs of the other three change from blue to red! (They are now examinable!) Finally, someone picks up the tabled set and, with the cards in their hands, their ace becomes... | ★★★★★ $14 to wish list | |
The Missing LinkStephen TuckerThree playing cards (or business cards) are shown and then, with herculean strength, you tear out their centers - in order, you explain, to magically link them together. Once they have been linked, they are then torn apart (to break the chain), then the "hoops" are restored and handed out for immediate examination. You can make gimmicks in less than five seconds! Now also supplied with a 100% impromptu handling. 1st edition 2005; 4 pages. | $12 to wish list | |
Hash-Town-DingStephen TuckerSomeone shuffles an examined blue backed deck (which also contains four red backers). You take it back and, in seconds, produce the four aces. However, this production results in laughter from your audience, not stunned amazement. You next explain that you are thinking of a word, and ask them to try and read your mind. They say that they think your word is SOAP. You act astonished and say that it was. You then remove the four red backed cards, seen earlier, and a letter has appeared on the back of each of them. The four letters are S, O, A and P! The deck can now be examined. Hash-Town-Ding... | ★★★★★ $12 to wish list |
