U. F. Grant was one of the world’s most prolific magic inventors, inventing over a 1000 tricks during his lifetime. This bundle contains 10 of his vintage instructions sheets. Some of these instructions are near impossible to find today. The instructions have not been redone; but, rather, these are scans of the original directions that Grant sent with each trick. All scans are readable. An educational look into the mind of U. F. Grant. Some of the tricks can be easily made after reading the instruction sheets.

The first forty (1-40) episodes of my podcast Magic From Wherever I'm At.

These episodes contain the following nuggets:

• The two (2) things every performance must have (Episode 40).
• The one thing you cannot sacrifice in performance - This is the biggest factor that makes bad magic bad (Episode 39). 
• The "notes" I got on my show from another performer... and the one throw-away comment that actually mattered (Episode 38).
• An obvious mistake magicians make every day that a Chicago police officer even noticed (Episode 37). 
• The "silk scarf snafu." The misunderstanding a new street performer...

Enigma is a DVD magic magazine. It is a family production of Chuck "Stylesmith" Smith and his son Chris Smith. Both are professionals in the video production business and both are magic enthusiasts.

The real value of Enigma for me personally is that I can see how some of the most recognized people in magic really are. We are invited to the homes of magic collectors or Chuck sits down for a chat with performers, dealers and other luminaries. It is a video record of our community. In a few years these discs will be highly sought after because they will hold some unique clips of people we cherish...

This is the "We're Back!" issue. The Magic Menu ceased publication in 2001. In 2009 Jim Sisti brought it back to life expanding the focus to professional Close-Up Magicians rather than exclusively Restaurant and Bar. Jim's observation was that the opportunities for close-up magicians have changed and expanded, which prompted him to change the focus of his magazine, too.

"Perhaps the top dog today is Jerry Cestkowski....Jerry has written a hefty book on the esoteric subject of flourishes that is the most comprehensive treatment extant." - Jon Racherbaumer

You might think that some of these crazy flourishes are impossible to do. You might think they are 'made up'. Well, here is your proof that Jerry can do all of them and then some. This is a performance-only download DVD. It does, however, include many invaluable suggestions for routining flourishes and making even the most mundane move look spectacular.

The trilogy contains all of Jack Hughes creations, a staggering amount of illusions, apparatus and props. Each illusion comes with drawings that depict its construction and its main dimensions. While the drawings and sketches do show all the pertinent details, these are not blueprints that have every little dimension spelled out. Nevertheless, anybody who has built a box before will have no problem in building any of these apparatus. It is a tremendous source book for ideas for any prop builder and illusion builder.

This is a collection of romantic themed magic that can be performed at weddings, on valentine day or close-up at restaurants and bars to couples on a date. Many of the effects are suitable for parlour, as well as close-up and there are multiple live performances for all the tricks, filmed at Illusions Magic Bar before a full explanation.

From the Foreword by Ed Marlo:

Regarding changes, sexual and otherwise.

This is an unusual one, but Jon Racherbaumer always weaves an interesting yarn meshing history with magic and card tricks with culture. In this short but nevertheless interesting ebook Jon starts out with a historic event that in the 1950s made huge waves. Today it would hardly make the news. In 1952 a man by the name of George William Jorgensen Jr. had a number of operations to change his sex and became Christine Jorgensen. Edward Marlo exploited this event and created a card trick called "Christine", and with Christine, he meant Christine Jorgensen. This is...

Some have argued that George Kaplan's Fine Art of Magic is the best magic book ever published. Juan Tamariz, who wrote a foreword to this second edition, says: "Hardly a performance where I do not include an effect from this book. It's the only book that contains only good and excellent tricks."

This magic treatise has stood the test of time. It has become a standard magic reference work. The First Edition is one of the most sought after magic books and is now available in its Second Edition, which incorporates additions and corrections from Kaplan's own notes, as well as adds more than 25% new and...
