It is surprising that this book has not seen more attention and is hardly known. Take a look. You will be surprised. One of those hidden gems. It has been described by others as a "minor classic".

★★★★★ $20 The Gaff Factory: A comprehensive dry-mounting tutorialCraig Matsuoka ... Brodahl This book is good. Very good. He gives a clear and thorough explanation of joining cards using dry mount materials. And the method works. I have not tried everything in his book, as I'm just starting. But I have made double backers and double facers with little effort. A split facer took 1 try. And because dry mount is used, the cards have the correct feel to them and they coalesce into the deck unlike the rubber cement versions I've built in the past. I do NOT use his exact method of splitting the cards, nor do I use anyone else's exact method. I think splitting cards is somewhat idiosyncratic, so it might help if you've seen several other tutorials on splitting cards... ★★★★★ $5 The Sphinx Volume 35 (Mar 1936 - Feb 1937)John Mulholland

★★★★★ $35 The Complete OracleLarry White & David Goodsell  ... light and airy, sometimes it probes a bit deeper and provokes self analysis and even resolve, sometimes it is just plain spooky.
David Goodsell and the late Larry White spent three years of their lives gathering the best of this kind of magic in their unique Oracle Magic Magazine, acclaimed as one of the best "little" magazines ever published. The quality of the magic as well as the artwork and creative design made every issue a unique experience. The material deserves to be shared with a much larger audience.
David Goodsell has gathered all the printed and web materials from volumes... ★★★★★ $15 The Master CodeRobert A. Nelson ... as performed by Tommy and Liz Tucker or Falkenstein and Willard.

When the spectator unfolds the business card, he discovers that he has the drawing of the wand. The magician turns over his card. The spectator's initials are on the back! Although super simple, I think you will really like this one. It's very easy to understand, and brings sense to why two things transpose. Something that working magicians will really enjoy is that this instantly resets; so if you work table-to-table you should have no problem. A nice point about this, which solves something that always has bothered me,... ★★★★★ $12.95 Cosmosis: The original floating match(Benny) Ben Harris "...at last, the originator explains his classic micro-levitation in complete detail — a digital first..."
Invented in 1986, and marketed as Cosmosis by Ben Harris, this effect has become one of the most pirated close-up creations in magic's recent history. It truly has become a "classic." Even today, twenty-three years after its debut, unscrupulous individuals and manufacturers in many countries market it without any due respect for its heritage or compensation for its creator. From street stalls in India and across Asia, to the high streets of London and Paris, you'll find this effect... ★★★★★ $12 Pasteboard RevelationsPaul A. Lelekis ... the reds are still separated from the blacks. Four of the eight videos provide you with a powerful routine and a great lesson in magic. This is a magician-fooler - I guarantee it!
The RIVERBOAT STACK (aka Mark Twain stack; see for example New Card Tricks with the Mark Twain Stack) - No one knows this stack anymore and it goes back to the Riverboat Gamblers of the 1700s...it is the best cyclical stack out there. Paul provides two unbelievable routines that will teach you the power of this stack:
1) In the first effect, you will freak them out with your "powers" of ESP. Everything... ★★★★★ $30 Propless Pin PricksUnknown Mentalist ... The methods are as close to self-working as possible for PIN divinations and 100% surefire and hit all the time. They are even instantly repeatable with a different outcome each time. But then, why would you want to repeat a miracle and reduce its impact? Would you vanish the Statue of Liberty day in and day out? or would you rather let it remain as a once in a lifetime experience for your audiences?
What you get :
- A method for divining a 4 digit PIN.
- A method for divining a 6 digit PIN.
- A method for divining an 8 digit PIN.
- A Bonus method for divining a 10 digit access PIN code...
★★★★★ $10 Palm Reading for MagiciansWilliam W. Larsen
This psychological reading allows most anyone to present a convincing demonstration of palmistry, even if they've never read palms before.
Thayer originally sold this Larsen title as a manuscript in their catalog (Item No. 1394). Now once again available in this expanded and updated book edition,... ★★★★★ $19.90 The Dai Vernon Book of MagicLewis Ganson & Dai Vernon  I was lucky that I stumbled across this book very early on in my magic development. It had a huge impact on how I approached magic and how I think today about magic. The introductory chapter "The Vernon Touch" should be mandatory reading for every magician. I would go so far as to recommend re-reading it every year. Martin Breese wrote: "One of the most important books of magic ever written." Max Holden said: "I consider Vernon the greatest man with a pack of cards of the present day." Many consider Dai Vernon, the professor, as one who had probably the biggest impact on magic in recent times.
... ★★★★★ $30 Al Mann on MentalismAl Mann Al Mann was one of the most creative minds in mentalism. Author of over hundred pamphlets with such intriguing titles as 'The Tesseract', 'Page of Swords', 'The Kolophon', 'Acidus Plus' Martin Breese managed to persuade him to make an audio recording in order that mentalists may get to know him better. You will hear Al Mann describe how he first became involved with magic. He details some of his experiences and early influences and describes an effect which is seldom seen today - reading a message in the dark.
Bert Reese is discussed and his methods described. Al knew Dunninger and often... ★★★★★ $19.99 The MagiCIAn: John Mulholland's Secret CIA LifeBen Robinson The only biography of the master magician and spy instructor John Mulholland including his work for the CIA.
"John Mulholland is surely one of the most fascinating personalities in magic history. For his work to advance conjuring as a recognized art, he deserves tremendous respect, and no serious student of magic will want to skip this book." - Michael Claxton, Magic Magazine, Feb 2009.
"I can even imagine him up in heaven huddling with Christopher, Houdini, Blackstone and Thurston as they discuss your biography. Their applause is loud enough to be heard on planet Earth." - Maurine Brooks Christopher

This is one of the only ebooks that is devoted solely to giving you the information you need to work a market that can generate income
for you in the slow times of the year and year round.

You can learn... ★★★★★ $35 The Dr's Billet TearDr. Bill Cushman ... if you wish. The peek may be instant or delayed. Your choice.
"The Dr's Billet Tear gets my highest recommendation and final endorsement as the best, most practical and undetectable center tear in history. Yet another amazing addition to the new generation of ultra-smooth billet work, this one is simply too good to miss! I've been using TDBT exclusively in my own private shows and public performances and several months in I'm still unable to find even a single fault in its psychology, timing, construction, execution and nearly infinite applications to everything I do." - Jerome Finley... ★★★★★ $9.95 Secret of Touching Cobras - Without Getting BittenDevin Knight & Al Mann  ... books that even mention this trick gloss over it without revealing the REAL METHOD. This is the first book to reveal secrets normally only passed from father to son.
This is a must read for Al Mann fans, and covers the experiences of Al Mann who planned to put this trick into his stage act at one time.
BONUS EFFECT: ROD TO SNAKE - In the Bible and other religious writings, it tells about magicians who cast a rod on the ground and it changed to a snake. Was this just a story or is it possible to do it? The trick can actually be performed and is performed today by some street magicians... ★★★★★ $4 Card MasteryMichael MacDougall Michael MacDougall explains new sleights, new methods of culling and stacking, new bottom steal, and more. Of interest to all card men, magicians and demonstrators. The second part of the book is S.W. Erdnase's seminal work on the art of sleight of hand with playing cards, The Expert at the Card Table.
Paul Fleming wrote:
To call this book Card Mastery is to adopt the attitude that it is fitting and proper for the tail to wag the dog. For nearly three-fourths of the book consists of a reprint of S. W. Erdnase's great work, The Expert at the Card Table, and only a trifle more than one-fourth is the contribution of Mr. MacDougall. An actual count... ★★★★★ $18 Coin'cidenceUnknown Mentalist ... no electronics, no dual reality, no verbal manipulation, no multiple outs, no equivoque, an impromptu anytime-anywhere routine which can also be done totally prop less (if you do not consider business cards or pens as props). Although a variation each is given which uses basic equivoque in one and a basic multiple out in another, the main routine does not need either.
This routine can also be looked at as a 5-coin, no equivoque, self working version of Max Maven's Positive/Negative. Only, instead of the heads or tails option, here the participant is given 5 possible choices, which... ★★★★★ $5 The Assistant TestDevin Knight A comedy warmup that always gets laughter from an audience as the magician explains a test he uses to hire assistants.
Technically, this is not a magic trick. It is something that magicians and entertainers of all types can use. It never fails to amaze, amuse, entertain and create laughter. It... Displaying 217 to 240 (of 1673 products)
