This became an instant underground classic and all the prominent card men of that time, including Dai Vernon, were entranced by it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reason this little typescript was sought after was its subject, Walter Scott. In the summer of 1930, Scott and McGuire traveled to New York City and held a very private exhibition of what was then and should be now considered to be the greatest sleight of hand ever done! Scott allowed the other magicians to shuffle their own deck and give it to him and he could still deal out winning hands of cards. This completely fooled those who witnessed it that summer. One of the few invited to see this master was Cardini, who exclaimed after seeing Scott, \"Scott is 500 years ahead of Erdnase!\" Once the two men met they became lifelong friends and Cardini, naturally, wanted to learn the work Scott was doing. This desire led to Eddie McGuire writing down what Walter told him and sending it in a number of letters to Cardini. Some of these letters (not all) would later be collected in part by McGuire and offered for sale to select magicians who had heard of the now legendary Walter Scott. The later typescripts McGuire sold were not illustrated in any way and did not reveal all the information that had been sent to Cardini. Cardini's copy had hand-drawn illustrations of some elements of Scott's work and it also contained a very nice section (never before published) of answers to questions that Dai Vernon was asking of Scott. To further make Cardini's copy special, Cardini, who was an amateur photographer, convinced Scott to sit for some photos of the work being done. We believe these were taken for Cardini's sole and personal use, and these amazing photos are published here for the first time and make this work much more approachable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow you can own this never before published typescript with additional materials and Cardini's original 1930s photos. This wonderful material is augmented by other articles most of which have never been published and photos of Scott and others in private meetings, also of which have never before been published. We have also gone to great lengths to make this a critical edition by having Lori Pieper and Maxwell Pritchard painstakingly go through several other known typescripts and published versions and making over 1300 critical notes letting the careful reader understand what is different in this version versus other later versions that exist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wonderful book was designed and laid out by Stephen Minch and was offset printed on archival natural stock in full color and with sewn signatures. We chose to use an 8 1\/2 x 11' format so that the student can easily lay the book flat during study. We have also put the step by step photos taken by Cardini on two fold-out page so that they can all be seen at once and be used while the text is open as well. We also used a very supple leather feel material that is both blind burnished as well as foil stamped. And we even put in a ribbon so you can keep your place during your studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon't miss this opportunity to get what we believe will be the greatest, most complete, and most beautiful edition of this work ever printed.","brand":"Conjuring Arts Research Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39535086927965,"sku":"PHANTOMCARDT-67930","price":35.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/products\/67930-full.png?v=1711155607"},{"product_id":"the-house-of-magic-by-david-attwood-book","title":"The House of Magic by David Attwood - Book","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe House of Magic\u003c\/b\u003e is a book that is not just a collection of effects and techniques but also a perspective on how important magic is and how it serves those who behold it.

Patrick is also the king of crediting so you get a little glimpse into his thought process in how he develops these amazing ideas.

I've read it again twice over the last few days. It's an incredible book, and one I'll treasure and refer to often. In this unputdownable book, Helmuth Grunewald discusses the techniques and effects that Hanussen and Messing used, and then explains how they might have done them. He covers contact mind reading, psychic readings, Q \u0026amp; A, and hypnosis, and shows how they can all be done with no trickery whatsoever. I got more than my money's worth from just one sentence on page 43, but there's gold in every page.

I've always felt both stories would make a great movie because of the times they lived and the way they performed. The author takes a strong view, and one that I totally agree with, of how mentalism has gone from being 'mentalism' or mind-reading to actually some type of psychological babble that seems to be popular at the moment. By studying Hanussen and Messing you will find out what real mentalism should look like. Within these pages you will not only learn some of the guarded secrets, but also give a refreshing approach to mentalism, one that I think many of the younger performers will find interesting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelmuth makes a bold statement saying you don't need all the electronic gadgets our there to do impossible mentalism, and again he hits the nail on the head. This might be another eye opening statement for younger readers but it's absolutely true. The best mentalists in the world don't need all the gimmicks and gadgets that flow through pages on websites today. If you can do contact mind-reading and perfect it, as Hanussen and Messing both did, then you will save yourself thousands of dollars AND be able to do this anytime and anywhere. There is also a fantastic Q\u0026amp;A in this book which is one of the best I've read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will teach you the real secrets to both of these legendary performers, which has to do more with their acting skills, the stage, stories told about them, and skills. You will learn the real secret to great hypnotism, and the author really encourages you to delve deeper in to what it really means. I love this little sentence from the book, \u003ci\u003e\"Get training and then practice, practice, practice! Read as much as you can and become an expert. This is one of the steps to become a real mentalist.\"\u003c\/i\u003e The idea of being a real mentalist is the entire tone of this book and is so refreshing to read. Both Hanussen and Messing, were excellent hypnotists. Hanussen would often refer to hypnotism in his work, but Messing never did but he certainly used the tools to achieve the impossible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is so much to learn from this book. It is on the higher end but it is intended for the serious student or performer who wants something different and unique. I think this book would be a real eye opener for many and hopefully inspire readers to re-look at what mentalism was and could be again. More and more mentalists today say they have no psychic abilities and they are doing it psychologically. I love this line from the book on the chapter READINGS, \u003ci\u003e\"In my opinion it makes no sense to give readings unless your name is Hannibal Lecter or Sherlock Holmes.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book has awakened my concept of mentalism and I hope somebody takes this and runs with it - because it could very easily be something 'new' to a new generation that has grown up with being told how things are done. It has also awakened my interest in both of these famous performers and I am now on the search for more information.\u003cbr\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePaul Romhany\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Steven's Magic Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39638654681181,"sku":"THROUGHTHEEYES-69533","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/products\/69533-full.png?v=1711252688"},{"product_id":"genii-magazine-april-2021-book","title":"Genii Magazine April 2021- Book","description":"\u003cb\u003eGENII \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE CONJURORS' MAGAZINE\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVOLUME 84 \u003cbr\u003eNUMBER 4\u003cbr\u003eApril 2021 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e10 Things Actors Know That Magicians Don't\u003c\/b\u003e by Robert Ramirez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne Night in Brooklyn, Part Two\u003c\/b\u003e by Jamy Ian Swiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLUMNS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenii Speaks\u003c\/b\u003e by Richard Kaufman \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn Memoriam:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSol Stone by Meir Yedid\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Eye\u003c\/b\u003e by Chloe Olewitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChamber of Secrets\u003c\/b\u003eSpirit Bells by John Gaughan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhumations\u003c\/b\u003e Apparitional Card on Ceilingby Jon Racherbaumer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCardopolis\u003c\/b\u003e Double Dealing Dr. Daley's Last Trick by David Britland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtifices\u003c\/b\u003e Speed Apparition by Roberto Mansilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConjuring\u003c\/b\u003e Ovation by Jim Steinmeyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExpert at the Kids' Table\u003c\/b\u003e Here Comes the Sun by David Kaye \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMagicana\u003c\/b\u003e by Jonathan Friedman \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQEN by Chris Randall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBit-Coin Transpo by Jonathan Friedman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Card of Choice by Chris Wardle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Academy of Magical Arts in Genii\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConjurers Book Club by Libby Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLIGHT FROM THE LAMP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTricks Reviewed by David Regal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Copeland Coin Box\" by Jeff Copeland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Changing Cards\" by Bob Swadling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Takeoff\" by Arnaud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Vanishing Ring\" by SansMinds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Ring Box\" by Tom Yurasits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"No-Ring Ring Hank\" by Lynetta Welch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"A Clean Ring Vanish\" by John Archer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Oracle System\" by Ben Seidman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Aces Front\" by Alan Wakeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Dinglish Deck\" by Curtis Kam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Hit\" by Luke Jermay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tell the Truth\" by the Creators of ThoughtCast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooks Reviewed by Francis Menotti\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThat Old Black Magic: The Lives and Legends of Great African-American Magicians\u003c\/i\u003e by Jim and Melania Magus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Yankee Magic Collector No.19 \u003c\/i\u003eby New England Magic Collectors Association\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMagic Unconcealed\u003c\/i\u003e by Jay Collen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eVideos Reviewed by Ryan Matney\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eImpromptu Magic Project, Volumes 1 to 3\u003c\/i\u003e by Penguin Magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLuis Carreon 2 Penguin Live Lecture\u003c\/i\u003e by Luis Carreon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubscription Information\/Advertisers' Index\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Genii Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39562812555357,"sku":"GENIIMAG_2021_04-69296","price":5.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/products\/69296-full.png?v=1711052814"},{"product_id":"impossibile-by-nicola-lazzarini-book","title":"IMPOSSIBILE by Nicola Lazzarini - Book","description":"The first complete magic manual with RUBIK's CUBE (NOW in English!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIMPOSSIBLE\u003c\/b\u003e is a simple to understand book with innovative ideas on the magic cube!

After finding their own card (and dream) again and again, it finally vanishes from the deck (with no complicated sleights or palming) only to reappear in an envelope that has been in full view throughout.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVote for Me!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 'Truth and Liar' effect, themed around a General Election and described by Mark Elsdon as \u003ci\u003e'hands down the absolute BEST presentation for the liar\/truth teller plot'\u003c\/i\u003e.

Everyone from Vlad the Impaler to Nelson Mandela.  Four helpers make a free choice of a 'bad' person while a fifth chooses someone more noble. Every choice is a free one and, having written them down, they are sealed in envelopes (handed out by an audience member, not you) which are then mixed up. The helper who chose the 'good' person now chooses one of the five envelopes, while you write something down on your pad. Not only do they somehow locate their own choice, you now turn your pad around to show that you have successfully read their mind and knew who they would choose.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe No Memory Diary Trick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet another variation on a well-known theme. A date in a diary is chosen, and the card on that date remembered. Your helper removes their chosen card from the deck - but in their imagination only. When the deck is shown again, their card is the only one missing. They then mime returning their card to the deck and, when spread again, their card is miraculously back. This trick was originally published in \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Circular\u003c\/i\u003e and came about after James had corresponded with the late, great Simon Aronson who kindly gave permission to use one of his fabulous ideas in it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wife Always Knows\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA light-hearted routine in which a wife finds her husband's freely chosen card, despite him trying to hide it. The trick can be adapted for other 'couples' (parent\/child; teacher\/pupil etc) and demonstrates not only the value of introducing humour into magic, but also the importance of making the magic itself have a reason for being performed. Again, Mark Elsdon was kind enough to say that, \u003ci\u003e'I can imagine at the right moment, it would be a killer. It's gone into my back pocket of things to pull out one day when the moment is right.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages 58","brand":"Christopher Wardle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39566530936925,"sku":"MAGICWITHM-70289","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/products\/70289-full.png?v=1711108672"},{"product_id":"genii-magazine-july-2021-book","title":"Genii Magazine July 2021- Book","description":"\u003cb\u003eGENII \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE CONJURORS' MAGAZINE\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVOLUME 84 \u003cbr\u003eNUMBER 7\u003cbr\u003eJuly 2021 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Magical Appearance \u003c\/b\u003eby David Regal\u003cbr\u003eInterviews with Shin Lim, Josh Jay, The Sacred Riana, Mat Franco, Dania Diaz, Piff the Magic Dragon, Justin Willman, Boris Wild, Suzanne, Dan White, The Clairvoyants, Derek Hughes, and Paul Gertner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Did You Do That, Mr. Giobbi?\u003c\/b\u003e by Roberto Giobbi (Himself)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOLUMNS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenii Speaks\u003c\/b\u003e by Richard Kaufman \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Eye\u003c\/b\u003e by Vanessa Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhumations\u003c\/b\u003e A Miltonian Mash Up by Jon Racherbaumer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial Concessions\u003c\/b\u003eJazz Quartet in Love by David Regal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHappiness is the Road\u003c\/b\u003e Standing on the Edge by Hannibal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStage as Studio\u003c\/b\u003e A Devotion to Creativity by Krystyn Lambert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDealing With It\u003c\/b\u003e Ninja Assembly (A.

The depth and breadth of his work, though, has not been recognized for what it is: a radical new system and theory of coin methodology. It leads to a fresh paradigm in the art of magic with coins. Few indeed can claim a body of sleights with coins so innovative and capable of wide application that it constitutes a system whereby classic effects can be redesigned and new ones founded. That is what \u003cb\u003eGiacomo Bertini's System of Amazement \u003c\/b\u003epresents: his theory of \"micro-misdirection,\" his many original sleights, and a generous selection of the tricks and routines they make possible. The result is a new galaxy of utterly baffling coin magic, laid open for your appreciation and that of your audiences. Discover a whole new way of approaching miracles with coins: The Bertini System! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiacomo Bertini is a true original in the field of coin magic. Growing up in Florence, Italy, Giacomo developed a passion for coin magic but could find little information on it. The Italian literature on coin magic was small and dated, and Giacomo had met no magicians sharing his interest. So he did something quite dangerous; he began to invent in a near vacuum. Dangerous because creation without knowledge of what has been done in a field frequently leads to new wheels identical to old ones. But Giacomo was lucky as well as gifted. His inventiveness avoided unknowing replication. Beyond that, it was genuinely innovative and highly deceptive, capable of amazing public audiences and magicians wise in the known ways of coin magic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiacomo went back to the roots of coin magic, embraced them and pushed them to new heights.

Luminaries from John Ramsay, Dai Vernon, and Charlie Miller wrote that Edward G. Brown was one of the finest sleight-of-hand artists of all time, yet his presence is all but forgotten, almost certainly due to the scarcity of his astounding book, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Card Magic of Edward G. Brown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking with The Magic Circle, Andi Gladwin has reproduced this rare book, and combined it with a thorough analysis of Brown's life's work in a separate \"study guide.\" The two books come packaged in a beautiful collector's slipcase, raising the standards of how a magic book should be produced. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrown's book is a view to card magic of a different era. The book contains an equal mixture of parlor and close-up card magic: some easy, and some difficult. Brown was one of the earliest proponents of \"naturalness\" and \"uniformity of action,\" and much of the material is as relevant and interesting today as it ever was. Amongst the many treasures created by Brown, you'll learn the trick that Andi Gladwin believes is one of the best-constructed card tricks of all time; the transposition of a genuinely freely thought-of card from one spectator to another. As you read each trick, you can use Andi's study guide to learn more details about the method. On occasion, you'll even learn extra handlings (including a previously-unpublished Dai Vernon effect). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooks like this come along all too rarely; a sought-after text, analyzed by an expert in that area.
