With the pandemic and shutdowns, which have changed industries and impacted pretty much everybody, we thought we spread a little relief, goodwill, and fun by offering our Magic Care Packages. We did something similar several years ago for Christmas.

The idea of the Lybrary.com Magic Care Packages is for those who have the financial means to help those who don't. Lybrary.com heavily substitutes the price of these packages to contribute to the effort.

What is included in our Magic Care Packages:

1) DVD: Great Scott! It's Magic by Scott F. Guinn. (An excellent DVD all around with great routines.)

2) DVD:...

A collection of practical magical effects.

The changing bag probably has more uses than any other piece of magical equipment.

To fill this need, Sylber and Whitney have developed this compendium of 33 clever tricks, ideas and routines that you can do with the change bag. Many are effects that you'd gladly pay upwards of twenty...

Get more mileage from your floating lamp or ball effect with this outstanding ebook. The floating light is a beautiful and mysterious stage effect whereby an illuminated light bulb (that may be in a lamp) visibly detaches itself and floats across the stage, apparently under the performer's control. The performer makes mystic gestures toward himself and the lighted bulb floats toward him and lands in his palm. It may be carried to the footlights and shown all around. It can even be laid on the palm of a spectator. The magician then throws the bulb away from him several feet, and at a snap of...

The Parasol Act was the opening routine in my children's show between 2008 and 2013. It was also featured in my competition act and adult cabaret shows. The routines taught in this download video was perfected primarily for children. It requires no jacket, no restrictive holders, can be performed wearing a short-sleeve shirt, and at the end of the act without fear of the parasols opening early. The only restriction is that your shirt must be tucked out at the back.

For the main routine; I produce five single parasols, and a final triple giant parasol after manipulating cocktail umbrellas....

Eight select bits of rascality from Harry the Hat.
