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... $19.50 Magic: Stage Illusions and Scientific Diversions including Trick PhotographyAlbert A. Hopkins ... - ...

But this book falls out of the ordinary since it was not the author's idea in the first place but resulted from the demands of friends. After the initial suggestions, however, the project unfolded easily and pleasantly and I am content with the result.
One thing that pushed it along was a concensus that today's youth must develop their magic in a vastly different world of entertainment than in time past. The supply of entertainment is much greater today and, since there is a limit to the amount of money that is available to spend on entertainment... ★★★★★ $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... $12 Sam's Scrapbook 4Sam Dalal ... never seen before.
When I got out of college in 1968, magic was for me a hobby, and a source of income to pay some of the bills. I was unaware of most magic shops and dealers, and magic magazines. As a performer, (in addition to a routine desk job) I used to perform in a Cabaret at Trincas (one of the "in" spots for the younger crowd then) besides the usual gamut of party and birthday shows. I created a sizable volume of the material I used and made many of the props myself. The additional income permitted me to indulge in magic magazine subscriptions, and these sparked additional ideas,... $9.50 Tricks that MystifyWill Goldston Excerpt from the introduction:
In this book I deal with the latest and best small tricks. The majority of the professional conjurers to-day are presenting small tricks in their programmes. I have been asked by subscribers not to include illusions requiring stage traps, but to confine myself to secrets of tricks that can be done by the average performer, and the apparatus not to be costly.
I have taken care to meet with the wishes of all subscribers to this book. I have omitted complicated tricks and combinations likely to fog an audience. The magician to-day understands that he must be... $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... $6 Life Staked at CardsHenry Meyer A sketch of the life of Henry Meyer a converted gambler.
Henry Meyer was by his own account a very successful gambler who would play predominantly in Europe. One day he played against a young man and won all his money. Subsequently, that young man took his own life. At that point, Meyer realized that the young man was his younger brother. This charring experience made him give up gambling completely.
While I don't doubt that Meyer was a professional gambler who would later reform and give up gambling, the story with his brother rings a bit too fantastic. It is hard to believe that he and... $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... $63 Nostradum WalletUnknown Mentalist Peek, predict, switch, index.

 ... J. K. Hartman's latest best-selling book, Card Dodgery. Paul has been "underground" for many years and wishes to share his effects and accumulated knowledge of magic and performing.

W. Scripture Arithmetical Prodigies by E.W. Scripture is a remarkable paper about remarkable people. Published in 1891, it gives the first comprehensive account of those individuals who have displayed an astonishing capacity for mental calculation. The numerous and fascinating biographies alone make this work a 'must read' for anyone with a taste for the curious and sensational. The paper can also lay claim to being one of the first works of popular psychology. Its style - essentially that of a treatise that reads like a novel - has been replicated right through to the present day. In short, Scripture's... ★★★★★ $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.

Roterberg’s books were published by a magic dealer specifically for sale in magical depots, rather than for wide distribution to the general public. When one considers that most serious magic books today are issued by specialty publishers to be distributed primarily through magic dealers, one recognizes in Roterberg the source of this publishing model in the English speaking marketplace....
