"Half Bull, Half Magic"

THE MINOTAUR offers great effects from an eclectic list of contributors including household names such as Michael Ammar, David Williamson, Troy Hooser, Phil Goldstein, Gene Anderson, Steve Cohen, Tom Craven, Aldo Colombini, Daryl, Didier Dupre, Eddie Fechter, Doc Eason, Dan Garrett, Chris Kenner, Gary Kurtz, Ken Krenzel, Eric Mead, David Neighbors, Johnny Ace Palmer, Gary Plants, Joe Rindfleisch, Rocco, Hiro Sakai, and many more. Of course, there are a lot of Dan Harlan effects, too. And each effect has been carefully illustrated by Dan Harlan himself.

Every volume of THE MINOTAUR is by itself on par with any high quality...

One effect from every volume of THE MINOTAUR performed and explained by Dan Harlan.

• Coins From Napkin by Steve Cohen: Three coins are produced from a napkin. Great for leading into a coin routine like three fly, or for bar and restaurant work.
• Brain Probe by David Williamson: A spectator shuffles the deck of cards. Three cards are matched to the cards selected by the spectator at random. These three cards are prefect matches.
• A Gentleman's Game by Gazzo: A funny card cheat plot utilizing the dishonest magician's game of High Card with a kicker surprise ending for the mark.
• Spek-Ulation by Anthony...

This is the final issue of THE MINOTAUR, the fourth issue of volume 8. It is one of the best magic DVDs I have seen and I am not alone in this opinion:

"The material is so much fun and so workable, not to mention the hysterical 'theme' of the DVD. I seriously think this is one of the best dvds of the year." - Cameron Francis

This DVD is not only filled with great effects, it also has a funny story line worth watching. The effects included are:

• Fairest of Them All: A pick a card effect where two cards are shown to indicate a chosen card by suit and value. Regardless of how “fair” the magician makes...

Back in the 1980's when Martin Breese was a fledgling Magic Dealer advertising regularly in Abracadabra he decided to create a little free house magazine to keep his clients in touch with magic that he was releasing and information about the magic scene for those who were not living in London or within easy reach of London. The Newsletter grew until one day it was so successful that he decided to turn it into a proper magic magazine and so Sorcerer Magazine was born.

Now in this digital edition we have combined all the issues of The Newsletter and Sorcerer Magazine. It is a window on the...

Fabulous collection of card magic culled from the pages of The Pentagram, including an excellent chapter by Graham Adams.

This is quite an unusual magic magazine. It ran from March 1992 to January 1994 with only 6 issues, but it was from the start planned that way. Each issue was formatted along the lines of another famous magazine from the past.

Martin Breese writes in his introduction:

Included in the lineup are Pentagram, The Magic Wand, Wizard, Max Andrews' Magic Magazine, Routine, The Wizard (Selbit).
