Magicians are exposed to all kinds of magic. Illusions, card, coin, close-up, and other types of magic pass through our hands/eyes almost on a daily basis. There is no way a magician can remember them all. But with a good backup system, bringing them back into your performance can be easy as read/follow instructions.

Bob Gill has succeeded in producing a practical guide to the literature of magic for performers, students and librarians. This was, and still is, the only bibliography of performing magic in the English language to contain fully annotated entries evaluating the literature. It includes many rare and difficult to find publications, excluding material only of doubtful merit. It lists and describes over 1000 books and pamphlets on conjuring published up to 1975. Each book listed contains a description of contents and an assessment of value to performers, as well as bibliographical details.

Excerpt from the introduction by Herbert Holmes:

You get three segues: intermission (15 min), show begins in 5 min, and show begins in 2 min. (Listen to the show begins in 5 min demo.)

For an explanation track that allows you to listen to the main voice used in the Magic Enhancer tracks, please see our free ebook page under the Audio & Audio-Book heading.

You get three audience chasers each about 1:30 minutes long. One is drum dominant, another one guitar dominant and the third is hard to put in words. All three sound great. (Listen to a demo.)

For an explanation track that allows you to listen to the main voice used in the Magic Enhancer tracks, please see our free ebook page under the Audio & Audio-Book heading.

You get three phone messages 22 to 30 seconds long. A good phone message can mean the difference between landing your next gig or not. Although I think in business email has largely replaced the phone and voice messages, as an entertainer it is much easier to connect by phone. A good phone message is crucial. With some creativity you might even be able to create a buzz and people might call just to hear your voice message. (Listen to a demo.)

You get two dramatic openers one 45 seconds long the other 47 seconds long, and one dramatic closer 11 seconds long. These openers set the mood perfectly. (Listen to a dramatic opener demo.)

For an explanation track that allows you to listen to the main voice used in the Magic Enhancer tracks, please see our free ebook page under the Audio & Audio-Book heading.

You get one kid show opener 53 seconds long and one kid show closer 19 seconds long. (Listen to the Kid Show Opener Demo.)

For an explanation track that allows you to listen to the main voice used in the Magic Enhancer tracks, please see our free ebook page under the Audio & Audio-Book heading.

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.
