★★★★★ $5 Routined MagicSenor Mardo ... some of the best minds in magic have to say about Routined Magic:
"Lovers of intimate magic will find many items of interest. Routines with the egg bag, cups and balls, and thimbles are especially good. Mardo demonstrated a few of his moves with the egg bag for me while I was in New York. This one item is worth far more than the price of the book." - J. G. Thompson, Jr.
"Good, solid magic." - Al Baker
"Smooth, workable routines. You're sure to find at least one item you'll use." - Sid Lorraine

My material is relatively simple, both in method and presentation. In my magic, I strive for creating routines in the style of the late Ken Brooke, who is one of my magical heroes. Maximum impact with a minimum effort for the performer. Also, my material packs small and I want it to play big. I fancy a visual approach, because I believe magic is an art that has to be seen to be appreciated.

$8 The Lives of the ConjurorsThomas Frost This is considered one of the best early histories of magic.
From the Preface:
The present volume closes the series of works on the entertaining classes which I contemplated when writing Circus Life and Circus Celebrities, the greater part of which was written before The Old Showmen and the Old London Fairs was commenced, though the publication of the latter work preceded that of the former. In embracing within the present volume the lives of the conjurors of every period and every country, while the record of shows and showmen is confined to London and the suburban districts, (which may now be said to embrace a circle of twenty miles across,) and that of circuses... ★★★★★ $18 Card Magic for the EnthusiastPaul Hallas

From the preface:
In the following pages it has been my aim to give such plain and practical instructions, as shall enable the amateur conjurer to perform with confidence and success. In the limits of a book of this size, it is impossible to describe more than one-tenth of the various tricks in modern magic in vogue at the present day, and I have therefore carefully excluded the larger professional apparatus, such as are used only on the public stage, believing that what is most needed is a sound treatise on drawing-room magic, and I trust in the following pages the reader will find such... $6 OPS Magic: F.U.N.
