Princess on the MoveIan BaxterWho among us has not heard of, seen, or performed The Princess Card Trick? For the record, it was conceived by Henry Hardin and was first made available way back in 1903. Mahatma magazine carried advertising for it and in the decades that followed, countless 'improvements' ended up in print. It seems that not too many of these ideas were ever celebrated by the magical fraternity, and no wonder - with crazy fakes and gimmicks being introduced that almost drowned its popularity. Fortunately, the original idea has remained unchanged which is why today, it is still regarded as a classic of card... | ★★★★★ $8 to wish list | |
Eyes of the GodsJohn HamiltonAn exceedingly clever location of two cards using the Free Cut Principle by the inventor of this beautiful principle. Effect: The performer hands a deck of cards to one of two spectators with the request that he shuffle it, and then divide it equally with a second spectator. While this is being done, the performer turns his back. Now each spectator is instructed to select a card from his respective half.

The Wrong LetterWalter S. MastermanThe crime: The Home Secretary Sir James Watson was found shot in the head inside his study which was locked from the inside. There was no apparent way in or out for the murderer to have been able to get into the room to commit the crime, nor a way to escape unnoticed. Further, the housekeeper Mrs. Simmons did not hear any shot which she certainly would have. What is going on here? How was the crime committed and by who?

Crymp: the RFID-blocking Origami Wallet with ClosureChris WasshuberCrymp is an origami wallet (no gluing or sewing) that you can fold in a matter of a few minutes. With some practice, one can do it in under a minute. The unique feature of the wallet is that it has a closure. A specially designed plastic piece, roughly the size of a credit card, is inserted in such a way that it locks in place so that it cannot fall out or be pulled out during normal usage. It allows a rubber band to be semi-permanently linked to the wallet. This makes opening and closing the wallet very easy because the rubber band can't be lost. One can let go of it and it remains attached... | $29.90 to wish listgadget & PDF | |
The Bammo Full-Deck False ShuffleBob FarmerJ.C. Wagner's "Super Closer" is one of the most impressive routines you can do with a deck of cards. Ricky Jay knew this and only was told the workings after Wagner held out for one of Jay's inner secrets. The deck is shuffled and cut and then divided into four packets. The magician and the spectator shuffle the four packets. Effect #1: The top cards of each packet are turned over to reveal the four Aces. Effect #2: The spectator buries the four Aces in the deck. The magician spells each Ace to find all four and, as he does so, four packets are created. Effect #3: The four Kings are spelled... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish list | |

Magical Hints and Valuable InformationWill GoldstonProgrammes, ventriloquial dialogues, juggling, cartooning, paper folding, care of animals and birds. Excerpt from the introduction: The suggestions for suitable programmes for different occasions form a unique feature of this book. Many books of magic give away secrets of tricks but leave the reader to judge for himself which tricks should be shown to children, which to adults if children are present, which to an audience of adults, and so on. By suggesting the right tricks for different occasions I trust I have helped some readers along the difficult road to success. After all, if the road... | $9.50 to wish list | |

Karteizetteltasche GebrauchsmusterGünther DammannDiese Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung hat nur am Rande mit der Zauberkunst zu tun. Günther Dammann hat wahrscheinlich diese Karteizetteltasche für die Arbeit an seinem Buch Zauberkunst und Zauberkünstler entwickelt und sich seine Errungenschaft in 1934 schützen lassen. Ein Gebrauchsmuster kommt einem Patent nahe. Es hat aber eine kürzere Laufzeit und die Bedingungen ein Gebrauchsmuster anzumelden sind geringer als bei einem Patent. Das Gebrauchsmuster wird daher manchmal auch das 'kleine Patent' genannt. Erstausgabe 1934; PDF 4 Seiten. | $4 to wish list | |

Lessons in MagicHenry HattonFor the time this was published, in the middle of the 19th century, these twelve lessons in magic are probably one of the best instructions in conjuring published in the English language, even though the intended reading audience was young folks. Professor Hoffmann's Modern Magic is still a decade into the future. Henry Hatton, writing here under his real name Patrick Henry Cannon, describes a range of stage and parlor effects including some sleight-of-hand with coins and cards. His description of the pass is by far the best description I have read prior to Erdnase - almost 40 years prior that is! The accompanying... | $12 to wish list | |
