Illustrated Descriptive Price List of Magical Apparatus and IllusionsOtto MaurerOtto Maurer had his shop in New York. He started as tin smith but soon made and fixed apparatus for magicians. His shop was for many years a gathering place for prominent magicians who came to town including Houdini, Thurston, and Downs. They all visited Maurer, bought from him, and exchanged the latest gossip and news. The most famous story about Otto Maurer is how he became the conduit for communicating the back palm from a Mexican/Cuban/Spanish cardshark to the magic community at large. (The originator of the back palm was Dr. Elliott.)

De Entre Mis Notas ... Reflexiones Sobre La Carta Doble (El Manejo de Ascanio)Jesús EtcheverryCuando escribí mi trilogía sobre La Magia de Ascanio, tras revisar cuidadosamente todo el material disperso que manejé, contrastándolo a menudo, tuve que dejar fuera cosas, no muchas, que aunque estaban en mi plan inicial, o no pude ampliarlas debidamente o ya no teníamos en los libros espacio material para publicarlas. Uno de estos temas fue el Manejo de la carta doble. Sobre este ascaniano tema tenía dos documentos, las Notas de Conferencia que Arturo editó para el congreso que en el año 1980 se celebró en Santa Cruz de Tenerife, el mítico "MagiCanarias-80", y el guion que usó... | $19.95 to wish list | |

The Change RaisersWilton Moore TuckerReveals the inside story on how the con artist forces you, or a store, or even a bank teller to hand him too much change. This bit of larceny gains the criminal five, ten, or more dollars each time -- and that from a $2 purchase. Also shows how to keep from being shortchanged. Almost defies detection, and practically works itself. This is no pie-in-the-sky con. Newspaper and TV stories report that victims of every age and ethnicity are taken in by this technique. Audiences are hungry for this information, to avoid being "taken." Makes an excellent lecture to provide to banks, stores, senior... | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
Oil and WaterMario TarasiniHere is an astonishing ending to one of the classics of card magic - "Oil & Water". There are many ways to perform it, but Mario Tarasini has created an extremely visual final phase with face-up cards and just before the very eyes of the spectator. After a couple of your favorite phases of Oil & Water, this is an amazing way to end the routine. Just tell the spectator to not blink and she/he will witness a miracle. Requires arts and crafts to prepare the gimmicked cards.

Miracle Mix-UpJack YatesIt's uncanny; you don't touch the pack; you don't see the pack. Yet you are able to reveal in a novel fashion a freely selected card. Write the simple instructions in the form of a letter to the "customer". You can do it over the phone, over the radio, on television, via SMS, Zoom, or any other communication channel. Or, if you prefer, you can do it close-up with a spectator. They do it at their leisure over and over again and still it works. The card is revealed by your own name thus gaining publicity, or you can use your own phrase or a number to reveal the card! EFFECT: (There are different... | ★★★★★ $8.50 to wish list | |

History of Conjuring and MagicHenry Ridgely EvansHenry Ridgely Evans provides an account of the history of conjuring, from ancient Egypt through the Middle Ages and into the 20th century. He develops biographical portraits of many well-known magicians and includes descriptions of their acts. Perhaps the most unusual feature of the work is that at the very end he includes photos of the hands of many famous magicians. From the Proem: With the passing of so-called genuine magic or sorcery we see the rise of natural magic and conjuring. In the Middle Ages conjurers were mere strolling mountebanks who exhibited their feats at fairs, in barns,... | $10 to wish list | |
