Scripted #33: Ring and RopeLarry Brodahl A multi-phase ring and rope routine using only a regular rope and ring. Most ring and rope routines don't really look like magic.

Panama PlusSupreme-Magic-Company Many years ago, Ted Collins devised the Panama Rope Trick. With this trick he won the cup for the best rope trick of the I.B.M. Convention at Fort Worth.

Mainly Manipulative MagicJohn Alborough From the introduction by Lewis Ganson:
Seeing the late Edward Victor on stage at the now defunct Metropolitan Theatre in Edgware Road, London, when John was a small boy, started his interest in magic. Later he became enamoured with the manipulative magic of Geoffrey Buckingham, so it is not surprising that Victor's expert thimble magic and Buckingham’s excellent manipulation of billiard balls, should have had a marked influence on the type of magic John performs. Having met and enjoyed the confidence of these two magicians and studied their books, he built his own act. Certainly the Victor / Buckingham influence is there... | 2018 / 9 / 16 | $15.00 to wish list |
