$8 101 Tips for Psychic EntertainersRobert A. Nelson ... to leave them in. By doing so, we feel that it gives today's psychic entertainers additional insight and respect for the mental pioneers of yesterday, who astonished audiences with their somewhat crude methods. The original edition contained 80-some tips. We've added four new chapters, including one entitled "More Professional Secrets" that provides inside secrets from today's professional psychic entertainers that will make you an even better showman and performer.
Formerly sold for over $35 in today's money; now available in this revised and expanded edition for much less. Are you... ★★★★★ $10 Thayer's Fifty Workshop IdeasWilliam W. Larsen Here's a rare opportunity to obtain 50 of Thayer's ideas for tricks that they planned to release in the 1940s, but due to wartime restrictions, were unable to produce in large quantities. Back in the day, hundreds of magicians said: "Thayer, I wish I could go through your files. You must have hundreds of ideas stored away: tricks that magicians have sent you for sale and manufacture." And Thayer listened. In their files and desk drawers were literally hundreds of ideas. Some they sought out and paid for. Others were given to them. But because of wartime government priorities, it was impossible... $10 How To Do The Black ArtA. Anderson Containing a complete description of the mysteries of magic and sleight of hand, together with many wonderful experiments. Excerpt from the introduction: The chief requisites for success in the performance of the black art is manual dexterity and self-confidence; nimble fingers and a cool temper. Any one who exhibits feats of legerdemain, will do well to remember that one of the best methods of diverting the attention of the audience from the action of your fingers, is to keep talking; the more diverting your talk, the less attention will the audience give to your manipulation of the object... ★★★★★ $8 Knockout Book TestIan Baxter ... compelling narrative such as this.
Australia's Ian Baxter, always a keen supporter of Annemann's initiatives, is now offering this Book Test to the magical fraternity; a carefully crafted approach that sticks rigidly to these rules. The title says it all. The effect can be described in just one sentence: The performer quotes words from two spectators, jointly reading to themselves from a freely chosen book! No stooges, nothing written down, no clues at all. Just miraculous! International Mentalist Charles Gauci, on reading this manuscript, remarked: "Perfect Ian. A game changer for... $12 Sam's Scrapbook 3Sam Dalal This is my third Scrapbook composed in this month (March 2023). Even though when I mull over my commercial effects and magazine contributions from the decades gone by, the volume of material seems ample for a few more. But everything I wrote or created is not worth recording or re-publishing... ★★★★★ $25 Dye Tube MasterclassHal Saxon The dye tube reimagined. The silk color change is no longer stale and boring. The Dye Tube is Devious: "What? The old Dye Tube? Devious? Most magicians will say no the dye tube is not even remotely devious. It is stale, boring, and blaaa." I say yes, the dye tube is incredibly devious when handled differently than the traditional handling of the last 100 years. Let's make your dye tube a valued part of your EDC Every Day Carry again. Devious is defined as insidious, deceitful, not straightforward; shifty or crooked. Imagine professional magicians using these terms to describe your... $15 Numbers and MentalismRenzo Grosso In my methodical (and stubborn) search for effects to propose over the phone, numbers are the absolute protagonist. Except for some small stratagem, the final principle is always the consequence of one or more mathematical principles. Inspired by some well-known effects, I became curious and tried to go back to the principles, so as to be able to use them, alone or with others, to generate other interesting combinations. I think the table of contents highlights the object of this publication well:
$4.95 Triplets 9Gregg Webb ... for his stories about poker, and at other times he would take time off to go and perform magic in a circus. He learned magic from old German magic books, being multilingual. In fact, he wrote for both German and American-speaking newspapers. And when writing the books on the printing business, one can see his ability at math on display, and one is reminded of his having gone to a school where they specialized in speed drills for math, which would serve him well. All in all, Gallaway was a fascinating man.
Gregg has been meeting many magicians lately, and he has tried to keep up with... $30 Magic with ElectronicsJulio Caso de los Cobos Fidalgo ... servo motors, etc., and the ESP32 microcontroller. A lot of electronics these days are based on microcontrollers. Keep in mind that this means that every such project requires some amount of programming because a microcontroller needs to be programmed before it can do what you want it to do. On one hand, this is very powerful because a lot can be done with software, and a lot of complexity can be moved to software. On the other hand, it also means there isn't that much electronics involved. If you want to learn what a transistor does and what circuits one can build with it, how an operational...★★★★★ $10 Magic no MysteryWiljalba Frikell Conjuring tricks with cards balls, and dice; magic writing, performing animals, etc. This is a surprisingly interesting book edited by W. H. Cremer. It includes an early precursor of the Chop Cup. (See The Magic Dutch Balls.) It has interesting information on gambling, cheating, and scams. The chapter on 'Magic Writing' is a wonderful history of cryptography and steganography. The chapter on animal training is one of the most detailed I have encountered. It also includes a wealth of magic tricks, science experiments, and effects based on apparatus.
$12 Fifty Years in the Magic CircleSignor Blitz An account of the author's professional life; his wonderful tricks and feats; with laughable incidents, and adventures as a magician, necromancer, and ventriloquist. Excerpt from the Preface: In presenting my Autobiography, I am fully aware of the grave responsibility I assume, and equally so of the presumption of a person describing, in a measure, his own character;—yet it is essentially better to relate one’s adventures himself, than to entrust them to the dictation of others. The reminiscences of my life may not be entitled to any special merit, beyond the amusement they may afford... $15 Sixty Years of Psychical ResearchJoseph F. Rinn Houdini and I among the spiritualists. This book is one of the most important sources of skeptical literature on paranormal investigation from 1890 - 1950. It includes obscure and forgotten newspaper records, material that today appears nowhere else. Its references to Houdini and clippings dealing with him provide important source material for research into Houdini.
★★★★★ $19.50 The Reformed GamblerJonathan H. Green This book is one of the classic books in gambling. It is an autobiography and describes Jonathan Green's conversion from a gambler to an exposer and teacher. Among others it exposes: game of thimbles; diamond cut diamond, or the gentleman's game; Dead open and shut; church gambling; five aces beaten; lotteries; post office game; pound cake, or ring game; the preacher and the gambler; grab loo. It commences by showing how he became a gambler - why he resolved to reform - destruction of his gambling instruments - he makes restitution - the question of reformation - his conversion - unites with... ★★★★★ $12 Our MagicNevil Maskelyne & David Devant Two things are noteworthy. One, it is a must read book for magic theory interested. Two, it has a 20 page bibliographical index of card tricks. This includes sleights as well. Anybody doing research on card moves or routines should have this index. It makes searching a lot easier. And this index might point you to interesting books you have not heard about or which are not in your possession. Paul Fleming wrote: For almost half a century, "England's Home of Mystery" in London was the "capital" of the magic world; and for a considerable portion of that period the active operation of this little theater... Dave Forrest Late to discover close-up magic, David first became interested in the art at
around 18 years of age. During one of many quests to give up smoking David
thought he may have a better chance of kicking the habit if he could occupy
his mind and give his hands something to do at the same time. Always having
had a passing interest in card tricks, David went to a book shop and
purchased Great Card Tricks by Bob Longe. David did manage to stop smoking (briefly!) but also inadvertently gained a far more expensive habit in card
magic!
After the inevitable ‘pub gigs’ some real opportunities began to rear their head and soon, in between his real day job as a Graphic Designer, David’s evening’s... ★★★★★ $40 Mysteries of Mind and MatterDaniel Skahen ... return your investment countless times over...
I'll give you a concrete example and then a philosophical answer. First, I can testify to several thousand dollars that this material has brought in by itself. Every professional I shared it with moved it into his repertoire, and each employed one or two of these routines as one of their powerhouses. This is magic that lands gigs and keep gigs on your terms. Now let me leave solid ground for a moment... Although I am only a hobbyist, I take as much pride and satisfaction from my magic as an artist takes from his painting. And like the artist, whether or not I make a dime with my work, I make something far more... ★★★★★ $16 PulledAlan Rorrison The Linking Rings effect is a classic of magic and for good reason: a direct and simple method coupled with the visual aspect of the props have made this a strong hold in most magicians' working arsenals. So what is wrong with the original that a new one needs to be brought forth? Well, here are a few small points to take into consideration:

★★★★★ $30 Magazine Memory: The Secret Notebooks of Mr. Hyde Volume 2Timothy Hyde ... print and websites for further study. Timothy has taught Memory Techniques at university level and has simplified and honed his approach to get you quickly performing the effect. Not only will these techniques be useful for this effect, but you will be able to use them for other effects such as - day for any date, Knight's Tour etc. In fact, Timothy strongly believes, successfully tackling this effect will give you a confidence that will shine through your entire performance!
And if you do know a memory system already, I'm sure you'll find a few new ideas and techniques in that section... ★★★★★ $9 Mentalism De LuxeStanton Carlisle Eight strong and wonderful mentalism routines. "Key Caper" for example is a completely ungimmicked version of Annemann's "Seven Keys To Baldpate". The method is simple and easy, a piece of beautiful clever mentalism. "Music in the Air" makes use of a cigarette lighter that plays a tune when lighted. I have never seen such lighters. They are probably out of fashion these days. However, the effect could very easily be modernized and used together with a ring-tone on a cellphone. The effect is the following. You show a packet of cards, each one has a different song title printed on it. Your... Displaying 841 to 864 (of 1648 products)
