Die erste Ausgabe des Innovator erschien Ende 1981. Danach hatte jeder Jahrgang 6 Ausgaben.
Der Innovator wurde vom 1. Wiener Zaubertheater unter der Leitung von Robert Kaldy Karo und Michael Swatosch (Doré) herausgebracht.
In den letzten Jahrgängen hat sich der Innovator mit dem Aladin vereint. Der Aladin ist das offizielle Organ des Österreichischen Zauber Dachverbandes.
Listen to Orville Meyer as he recalls his creation of his bullet catch method which was so masterfully performed by Ted Annemann. A rare treat for all mentalism and magic history buffs. This recording was made June 20th 1985.
Ben Robinson, an expert bullet catcher himself writes:
"Before Penn & Teller, David Blaine or Criss Angel decided to catch bullets, there was a book that talked about the history and secrets of the stunt. It was called Twelve Have Died — Bullet Catching, The Story & Secrets. I wrote that book when I was 23 years old. I wrote it in six weeks of uninterrupted writing. But before I did, before...
More early card and coin creations from Peter Duffie and Jerry Sadowitz. Martin Breese was called the "Card Magic Publisher Of the Year" due the various publications by these two gentlemen.

In true Jerry Sadowitz fashion this book was originally titled "Card Shit". The reader is free to speculate why the title change.

At the Annual Convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (British Ring) at Scarborough in 1957, an unknown magician walked away with the First Prize - The British Ring Shield. The manipulative act which caused so much enthusiastic comment featured Billiard Balls, and even well posted magicians in the audience were at a loss to know from where several of the balls were produced. Here was something new in manipulative magic, and there was much speculation as to the means whereby balls could be "stolen" so cleanly, without a hint being given of their original secret location, or...
A sinister workhorse billet combination of Al Mann's Mag-Eye move and Millard Longman's Acidus Novus.
From the introduction:
They say there is nothing new under the sun, this is no exception. Without any hype, this is just a very good combination of techniques that I almost fell over one day when reviewing some billet and centre tear moves. Unlike many mentalists, I am not blessed with the skin type that allows for the type of peek or tear that requires a squeezing action like the brilliant Osterlind centre tear.
I was drawn to peeks such as the Scatter-thought tear, the Barfly billet,...
After the success of Alternative Card Magic Peter Duffie and Jerry Sadowitz continued their creative output.
This effect appears described briefly, yet adequately, in the Singapore Lecture Notes. This is a more thorough description and is accompanied by clear photographs, making it easier to learn.
The routine uses four black cards, and four red cards. Interlaced three times, they always separate. The moves used are smooth and create a lovely illusion. It does not look like sleight of hand, it really looks quite convincing! Heavily based in Marlo's work.
1st edition 1985; 1st digital edition 2009; 18 pages.
Ben Harris' first set of lecture notes from his first ever lecture in 1985— re-written, re-photographed...
These notes have been re-written and re-photographed. The material is bright, crisp and hard-hitting. Mostly cards, including a wonderful multi-phase OIL AND WATER routine that's a joy to perform. PYRAMID CARDS is an easy and visual stunt revelation that was originally created by Jay Sankey. Here are a couple of cool variations. COMING TOGETHER AGAIN is a real killer item based on a Sadowitz piece from Almanac (see demo video below).
The real highlight is the closer Ben used on both nights in Singapore....
Der Si Stebbins Pro Stack ist für jeden der gelegte Spiele liebt ein muss. Dr. Solka hat vom altbekannten Si Stebbins eine entscheidende Schwäche entfernt. Seine Variation verhindert die strikte Abfolge von rot, schwarz, rot, schwarz, usw. Es gibt nur eine einfache Regel zu merken. Das ganze ist genial und kinderleicht. Jetzt kann das gelegte Spiel völlig frei gezeigt werden ohne den Verdacht auf eine Präparation zu wecken.
Der Zusammenhang von Karte und Position ist leicht verständlich erklärt. Es ist ein einfacher Schritt vom klassischen Si Stebbins zum Si Stebbins Pro. Und die meisten...

Cover: David Copperfield
A collection of routines from David Gemmell's working repertoir. Difficulty varies from effect to effect and is in the reach of most magician.
From the introduction by Jon Racherbaumer:
A few years ago Eugene Burger introduced a useful phrase to Cardopia—one that partially describes what passionate card guys do on a regular basis: to overly indulge themselves in the "antics of the pasteboards." Antics is the apt word because it evokes other defining words: playful, fantastic, theatrical, whimsical…
Those who memorialize their personal "antics" realize the nature of their acts. They take notes....
