One could write long articles about The Sphinx. Two are included as introductions to this ebook; one by Gabe Fajuri and another by Bill Kuethe. Another article was written by Gabe Fajuri in Magic Magazine, March 2002. The Sphinx is arguably the most important magic magazine and complete files are extremely rare. I am not absolutely sure but I heard that some early issues only saw a print run of 75 copies. A complete set in good condition goes today for around $5000. This is the time for you...

just how to turn the effect into a veritable miracle. The instructions are replete with 38 lucid diagrams, showing just how every move is accomplished.

Don't take our word for it--check out what the experts are saying:

"Should appeal to most any mentalist or magician. A lot of good comedy mental material, a good deal of it really funny. Very good value." - Lloyd Jones, Genii magazine

"If you want to convulse 'em . . . add this book to your working library. Should prove a popular seller." -Sid Lorraine, TOPS magazine

"For those who want to inject some humor, of for the entertainer who is looking for 'laugh' tricks. Top-notch material." - John Braun, Linking...

He's published numerous original magic creations in Magic and Genii magazines, and is the author of Pasteboard Presentations II and the creator of the Sweetest Sound trick, among others.

Lloyd contributed material to the Linking Ring, Sphinx, and Genii magazines. He was a member of the I.B.M., S.A.M., P.C.A.M., and the Magic Dealer’s Association. A sudden heart attack took Chambers in January 1960, at age 53.

For three years he wrote the Basic Training column for MUM magazine, and is now one of the writers for Genii magazine's trick column, Magicana, where he continues to write up routines and effects in his relaxed but authoritative style.

Ian has been producing video and written instruction for ten years, and in 2006 he started the first online magic course, called the Virtual Session. Over the years he has performed in pretty much every situation, from...

"A cool and animated levitation of a card or dollar bill... EASY TO MAKE!"

However, it was also a genuine stepping stone in the thought processes that would eventually lead to Enlightenment: The Ultimate Floating Card - which is way superior. So, controversial...

"As usual, with books by dealers, the magic is good. Fine routines with worthwhile patter lines."- Lloyd E. Jones, Genii magazine

"We have seen Joe present many of the effects included in this book, any one of which is worth more than the price asked for the book. Real smart effects." - Percy Abbott

History - "Laboratory Conditions" - Bob's first commercial effect - was originally released in 1976 by Frank Pazel. Supplied with the effect were two pieces of plexiglas, rubber bands, some aluminum foil and a specially gimmicked pen. Except for the foil, none of the other items were necessary to accomplish the effect, but Frank felt that the effect wouldn't sell unless it came with props.

The late Ed Mishell gave the effect a very favorable review in Genii magazine - but, then again, Ed gave favorable reviews to just about everything. That, together with the fact that nobody in the magic world...

Michael Weber was the first magician to publish (and to establish in the written record) an elastic thread routine. His matchbox effect, utilizing the then unheard of magic-fibre, appeared in an issue of Genii Magazine. Michael credits his mother with having introduced him to the special thread.

Independently of this, (circa 1985) Finn Jon from Norway truly established the use of the thread within the magic fraternity. Finn is to be credited with the creation of a special application of elastic...
