Just Five!

Overall customer rating: ★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 04 March, 2024)

Just Five!Not just a book with five very workable and adaptable to suit personal style of effects with an informal video presentation for each one. Put to in one free collection to stimulate any young or old mind but a great read for those who don't sleep well and always love reading new magical jems of magic. Many grateful thanks to Bob for sharing freely.


Children's Showtime

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 20 January, 2024)

Children's ShowtimeI have a physical copy and I must say its contents helped me greatly when I started full-time children's and adult entertainer. So to now see in PDF it is going to help so many readers in the art of performing for many young adults a must for the working magician bookshelf/computer.

Rub the Lamp

Rub the LampI have the original soft cover book which served me well when starting out full-time performing for young adults. Must read for any performer.


Poor Man's Nest of Boxes

Overall customer rating: ★★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 09 August, 2021)

Poor Man's Nest of BoxesVery very nice reminds me of a Russian nest of dolls effect that appeared in an old copy of ABRA. If each of the inner boxes were also fastened with a ribbon it would mean less fumbling of the removal of the inner boxes and strengthen the illusion. Great idea.


Miraculous Numbers

Overall customer rating: ★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Thursday 04 March, 2021)

Miraculous NumbersI have an original booklet still in its signed envelope by Peter Wilker 1994. So just reread it after digging it out of my collection of Magic and related books. I purchased mine probably after reading an Abracadabra Issue. It was good to once again read. So many good card effects work well based on mathematical methods. My interest as a youth was inspired by a copy of 1953 MATHeMAGIC by Bearnard M. L. Ernest, with an effect that I well used after making ''The Magic Block'' which was in the 1932 issue of Ripleys Believe it or not. Back to the notes chapter one starts with an effect devised by David Berglas called AD INFINITUM sourced from an early addition of Pabular Magazine which can be performed close up or stage.


50 New Card Secrets

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 25 May, 2020)

50 New Card SecretsIf you are lucky to own a physical copy you know the content is still adaptable for today's audiences but just need slight alteration to your own style of presentation. I have put this into my wishlist as I get older my eyesight not as good from reading the many great works of magic so when time comes I will enlarge on screen the pdf to suit my eyes and relive some of my old favourite effects. And you never know I might be inspired to create new ideas from them. Just like you can...

Keep safe everyone .......


Spell Deck

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Saturday 09 May, 2020)

Spell DeckUnMe gifted me this creation and I must gracefully say thank you as I have now something to distract my mind from the ''WORLDS' situation and the many untimely deaths and loss of loved ones by many of us. We must all use positive thoughts to keep strong. Not always easy for me and my many health problems. But back to this work from UnMe I now have one more of his working stack decks to keep my mind and hands creatively busy. I thank you UnMe, and hope all the magicians, mentalists and entertainers remain strong and use the time to learn and practice...

Dark CornersFrom the seed of growth from this creative thinking Mind I have watched followed to this day with all his works in my own working Lybrary and I would recommend any one with a Interest in mentalism to try one or more of his work's. this one may take some late nights into early morning to read and get your head around but once done give it the practice time in, put your own signature on it and I am sure you will have a vary different stage effect to win your audience over.

Marpis

Overall customer rating: ★★★★

reviewed by Michael Lyth (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 04 January, 2017)

MarpisIn order to help Tommy's friend who lost her work due to a serious health issue (pulmonary hypertension and multiple sclerosis) he decide to help her by raising money through his eBooks and he is offering an insane deal. And that is what it is exactly a insane deal I have only read one so fare and it is quality workable magic. A great deal of work on the ACAAN is not to be missed and Bonus: Michael Kociolek added two of his own eBooks to the bundle and Peter Duffie added four of his eBooks. so what are you waiting for its cold and these collective works will definitely take your mind off the temperature. If you live in warmer climates ? do you want a guest?
