This is one of the harder to find and quite expensive books on card magic, because only a small run of mimeographed copies was ever offered for sale. As the author himself admits, the original books are of poor quality rendering many pages very hard to read:
This book packs almost 200 mental miracles, many of which are creations of one of the masters of mental magic - Ted Annemann. You will find the best book tests, psychic codes, tricks with slates, blindfold reading, publicity effects, and much more. This book together with Annemann's Card Magic covers a good part of the famous Jinx magazine, of which Annemann was editor.
Annemann's Full Deck of Impromptu Card Tricks, which made its appearance about a year ago, has been enjoying a well deserved popularity ever since. There is no reason to suppose...
... eight years under Slydini and has spent a lifetime mastering the Slydini method. Dennis told me: "While many magicians admire Slydini, they don't understand what made him unique or how his approach can be employed by them." This is the ebook that will help you understand Slydini's way of doing magic.
This ebook is a very serious study of the thinking, the how and the why Slydini's System of Misdirection is so different from traditional forms of misdirection. This thinking, this manipulation of perception, is clearly demonstrated in his 'Coins Through the Table'.
Swami is a fascinating mix of traditional Indian magic and contributions by international masters. Sam Dalal writes in his introduction:
...One of the reasons for the popularity of these magazines is that much of it is devoted to a branch
of bizarre or geek magic, not normally covered in the regular magic publications....
I am delighted with the way Chris Wasshuber (Lybrary.com) has produced this electronic version
of the Swami and Mantra magazines. When Chris Wasshuber asked me just a few weeks ago if he could produce the magazines as an e-book for circulation through his Lybrary.com,...

An extraordinary magic trick in which the spectators will see four jacks turn face down one by one. For the final climax, the magician explains that sometimes, if poker cards are used for magic, very strange things can happen: That's when the four jacks suddenly turn into a Royal Flush. A trick with which I bluffed the audience and magicians. All you need is a special card, which is very easy to find. But this little effort is really worth it.
An impromptu version of the effect is also described, in which the cards from Ace to Four, one at a time, turn face down and then magically transform...
A new impromptu and self-working card magic effect, in which the magician leaves a prediction in sight, a card is chosen and lost into a packet of a few cards taken at random and, when the prediction is opened and read aloud, what appears to be a joke, magically turns out to be the key to finding the chosen card!
A new self-working card magic effect, always possible to improvise (practically a packet trick) that will both amuse and fool you. The magician leaves a prediction in sight, then sets aside the two red Aces and has a spectator choose any nine cards from the deck. After one of them...

Bottoms up!
Effect: A joker is shown to the audience and placed face up on top of the deck. The cards are then spread and two cards are selected and signed. The selected cards are lost into the centre of the deck. The Joker is displayed on top of the deck and with a wave turns into the first signed card. With a flick, the first signed card turns into the second signed card! Then once placed into the spectator hand, the selection turns back into a joker. For your finale, you place the joker face up on top of the...
made the effect seem a bit too contrived for my performing tastes. Mr. Prager has eliminated these and made the effect one that appears very natural while being even more deceptive than Osterlind's. I am very happy with this purchase, and if you like drawing duplications that appear completely impromptu (and virtually are), then I am sure you will be too." - lumberjohn at TheMagicCafe.com

"Love it, Jose. There isn't an unmotivated move in the routine. The dirty is thoroughly covered. And the method is ingenious. Thanks for releasing...
... different queen. Well, in that case the trick would not have worked, because I don't have any other queens!" The packet is turned face up. The queens no longer exist! They are, in fact, blank cards!
The cards can be given away to the spectator to keep forever!
The second version is virtually impromptu and may be done with a borrowed deck. The differences in this version are that the queens turn into aces and the queens are reproduced with a flashy (but super simple) flourish. You can then go into any routine you wish, but since you have the four aces and the four queens out and they both...
An incredible mentalism effect with cards, totally impromptu and hands-off, in which the illusionist will find the card thought of and scattered within a deck that the spectator himself, cutting in various parts, will shuffle several times,
also faces against backs.
This is an incredible effect involving the retrieval of a thought-of card, totally impromptu, practically hands-off (the illusionist will only pick up the deck of cards at the end of the experiment) and therefore always ready for a performance, even if the magician only has a borrowed deck of cards, which may even be incomplete.

Transform your card magic from mechanical to memorable.
Most card magic books teach you the moves. But moves alone don't make magic. What separates a forgettable trick from a standing ovation is the story you tell while doing it. Card Tricks with Patter delivers ten powerful, audience-tested effects alongside something most books ignore entirely: the actual words to say.
Inside these pages, you'll find classics like "The Partagas Sell," "Five Card Plunger," and Dai Vernon's "Matching the Cards," plus original creations like "Three Wrongs Make a Right." Every trick is built on solid, manageable...
... Aces and insert them into different parts of the deck, then square all. The Aces rise to the top, with one exception. The Ace that was the same suit as the selection now IS the selection.
SEE YA LATER ELEVATOR: This simple Elevator routine is close relative to "Hellraiser" (See Effortless Card Magic). This uses more cards and offers a different finish.
WISH IT WAS LATER: Staying with the Elevator genre - the genesis of this routine lies in a Royal Marriages effect that I published some time ago. Here, two black Jacks rise through the deck, then a spectator cuts them into the deck whereupon...

David Devlin loves packet tricks. This new eBook contains nine of David's best packet tricks. (Volume two in this series is Packet Racket II.) Some use normal cards, some use gaffs, and some are impromptu. If you think you're getting a book about packet tricks that only magicians will appreciate, think again! This book is a terrific collection of tricks for laymen, restaurant workers, bar magicians, close-up workers, and everyone in between.
All of the tricks in this eBook are packet tricks, but most tend to have a feel of something a little bigger. Most of the effects use standard packet trick methodology...
(If you are interested only in the first penetration phase you can also buy it separately with Real Pen-Etration for much less. You might also want to check out the same effect achieved with different sleights: Driven by Cameron Francis.)
In late 2003 / early 2004 Misleading Mislead stormed into the magic community and quickly gained its self-critical acclaim. However, the full routine had been trimmed down from a two-phase routine to a one-phase trick by the company who produced it. Alan was very unhappy about this as...
