In my 50+ years as a magic creator, author, and dealer, I have lived through more than a couple of operational changes. When I started my magician's service, freight and distribution were not a consideration, and our initial trade terms in this country were a minimum order of the then equivalent of 80 US cents, (Rs.25.00) post-free. We also sent a couple of parcels every day around the world, and our business grew over the years to a range of over 2000 items and over $1 million of sales (to the end customer) every year.

Things kept changing, with the freight galloping...

5. INTRODUCTION by Theo. Annemann

More of this letter can be found in our ebook...

This is a work most will not be familiar with. Many will dismiss it with 'another old magic book'. But those in the know have carefully studied it and hold it dear as one of the most valuable books for a working professional magician.

It is the original and the only one of four places where Annemann's bullet catch is described, because it was Orville Meyer who supplied Annemann with the method. All the three other places where this is described are out of print and hard to impossible to find.

And now this lost Orville Meyer gem has been made even more valuable by extensive annotations and a new...

Twelve wonderful card routines and one non-card memory feat bonus effect: Mental Shopper.

Almost all the sleights employed herein are basic, therefore easy to do. The exception is the Faro shuffle, which is used in two effects. There is little mention of patter included, as the effects do not require set patter. It is left to the reader to use patter that fits his particular personality.

Some of these effects have previously appeared in Apocalypse, The Linking Ring, and The Minotaur. The balance are appearing here for the first time. Doug's two personal favorites are: Midnight Speller, and The Cardician...

The magician then takes the whole deck and spreads it on the table so the spectator can easily see the chaotic arrangement of cards.

Finally, the magician deals the cards on the table until he stops at a specific card, then the magician asks...

The story of Annie Oakley's legendary trick shooting in the Old West lays the foundation for a magical challenge with a selected card secured in the middle of a deck. With the audience providing the sound effects, the challenge is met when the helper's finger gun makes the chosen card fly out, complete with a burn hole from the imaginary bullet. Another legend is born!

Shooting Card was one of my pet routines and I loved every chance I had to perform it. I could create pure wonder by having a young volunteer 'shoot' their selected card out of the deck in my hand. The flying card is memorable...
