If you have been doing gospel magic for very long, you will have noticed that the majority of effects focus on only a handful of narrative presentations. The value in this work is not so much in its repetition, but in its presentation of the effects that are most common in this field. Be confident that even if you are a seasoned professional in this field of magic that you will find at least a few golden nuggets of value that will help you not only entertain your audiences, but that will assist you in pointing those in attendance to the truths of Scripture. At a minimum, after reading Rev. Bodley’s approach and nuances you should at least be provided with food for thought in creating new routines and subtleties in handling, and at this price … you can’t go wrong.
Thimble Magic

While only one somewhat thorough treatise on thimble magic should suffice, the avid performer or purveyor of everything “thimble” will find something of value in each of the books/manuscripts on the topic of thimble-flicking. This one is no different, and for the price, you cannot go wrong. The nuances of handling are explained either in written and/or in pictorial form.
The question that I felt was left unanswered is, “Do people really care anymore about the appearance, vanish, and change of thimbles?” Stated another way, “Is the pursuit of thimble dexterity solely for my own enjoyment or for the purpose of showing off in front of my magi friends?”
To summarize: Know WHY you desire to become proficient in thimble manipulations before tackling this nearly lost art form. With this as your foundation, you’ll quickly see the value in having a multitude of works on everything thimble, for each of those that lybrary.com offers is worthy of your money … and your time.
