RUNES WORLD WITH DVD A departure from any magic book you’ve read. Part instruction, part theory, part graphic novel, this new volume will challenge you to think in new ways, about new possibilities with your magic. Rune Klan is the most famous magician you’ve never heard of. An extremist in nearly every way, Rune is a walking contradiction: among magicians he has gained an international reputation as a guru of coins. Yet Rune has achieved celebrity status in his native Denmark exclusively for stand-up comedy magic. Rune Klan is the rarest kind of magician: he is an artist working without restrictions and with little compromise. His only concern is the end result. This is the thematic element that connects Rune’s boisterous stage magic with his refined close-up. Whether his objective is to transfer a coin stack from hand to hand |
RUNE KLAN (Rune goes through the cracks between each finger) or how to tear and restore a porno magazine (Rune tears a bikini-clad girl’s picture to pieces, removes a real bra from the packet, and restores the pages to show the same girl nude), all of Rune’s effects have been streamlined with the effect in mind. His effects range from standard to bizarre to illegal, but the effect is always paramount to the method. Every trick has Rune’s stamp on it. Rune’s World explores both the close-up and parlor magic that makes Mr. Klan such a dynamic force. Part magic book and part graphic novel, this is an innovative 180-page collection unlike any other in both form and content. Comes with a free companion DVD (subtitled performances, interviews in English, and some tricks performed and explained that are not in the book). This is a huge value. Printed on low-gloss paper. |

| BK45725 | CHAN CANASTA - A REMARKABLE MAN - H/C - This was the first book in the series and it caused a complete sensation. We sold out but our printers found several boxes that they had forgotten to deliver to us. So we are back in stock now. This book attracted a great deal of attention and many wonderful feature reviews. For example Peter Zenner: Martin, has excelled himself with the production values. It looks beautiful; maybe it is the most attractive looking book I have ever seen. If you are interested in Canasta then you will have to buy the book. Bob Gill: I'm not sure that there have been other books quite like this. You know those reviews you read which say of novels, 'I couldn't put it down 'til I'd read it through from cover to cover'? Well, I'll cheerfully admit to devouring this volume at one sitting until well into the early hours; it's it a comparative rarity in contemporary magic publishing: a rattling good read. Sal Franchino (USA): It is superbly produced. |
 The binding and cover are absolute dynamite. Thank you for such a good work. It is a delight to receive a product that lives up to its promise and delivers value! Pages 111 - Hardbound |

| BK45604 | MAGIC OF FRED ROBINSON - H/C - 286 PAGES - Nearly 20 years in the making but now printed. The reviewers in Genii and Magic gave the book the best reviews I have ever had for any book I have ever published. Here are just a few of the comments from those who have written lengthy tributes to Fred and his contribution to magic. "I state without fear of exaggerating that Fred was one of the all-time greats; especially with cards." - DAI VERNON "Card magic and techniques of card-handling have fascinated me for most of my life. Meeting Fred was a highlight of my life." - ROY WALTON "Your journey with Fred is about to begin thanks to Peter Duffie and Martin Breese. I envy you." - SIMON LOVELL "Always with a twinkle in his eye, Fred would fool you consistently." - GORDON BRUCEThe Magic of Fred Robinson may well be the most anxiously-awaited book amongst magicians the world over. It has been in the making for years. Finally it has been printed. |
FRED ROBINSON Many magicians have contributed to this book and believe that it will be the most significant magic book of this decade. Fred Robinson was a private man but his skill at sleight-of-hand with cards and coins was legendary. He could be found at the Magic Circle on Monday evenings and many well-known names from around the world paid homage to Fred and traveled countless miles to witness for themselves his legendary skills. He was the editor of Pabular magazine and inspired contributions from the finest magicians of his time. The Magic of Fred Robinson documents and describes every effect that Fred performed. It has been written by Peter Duffie who has skilfully described all of Fred's sleights and effects in the greatest of detail. There are pages of detailed drawings and photographs and the book pays tribute to one of the greatest sleight-of-hand magicians the world has ever known. Pages 286 - Hardbound w/ Dust Jacket |

Then close your eyes and ask them if they feel the rate changing... they will say it's getting slower... and slower... and eventually only 1 beat every few seconds, and then it speeds back up to normal and goes faster and faster.

BLISTER BOOK - 172 PAGES Once or twice every century, a new principle is discovered in our mystery field. In 1972, Jack Kent Tillar's Blister Effect was first published in Tarbell Volume 7. Harry Lorayne wrote, As far as I know, this principle is new to magic. The effect is that a performer mysteriously makes a blister appear on the tip of his or her finger. Since its publication, this unique effect has become well-known and used by most mentalists and magicians. However, most people don't know that Jack Kent Tillar, and Academy Award-winning composer and highly respected mentalist, had an extensive amount of work published in Magick, Genii, Invocation, and other notable publications. He has influenced many of the top professionals in mentalism today. Now, thirty-five years later, this book |
JACK KENT TILLAR celebrates all the individual ingenuity that performers have brought to this classic.Included in this volume is Jack Kent Tillar's original unpublished routine for the Blister Effect. It also contains over fifty cherished routines, ideas, wisdom, and secret devices for stage, close-up, and even radio, many of them guarded secrets, from some of today's biggest mentalism talents.Contributors include: Michael Weber, Banachek, Paul Harris, Marc Salem, Richard Osterlind, Barrie Richardson, Alain Nu, Penn & Teller, Richard Busch, Ted Karmilovich, Mark Edward, Larry Becker, Gerard Senehi, Ray Grismer, Newell Unfried, E.

| BK41452 | FRESH MINT - Signed Bill to 'Tic Tac' box! + 3 mind blowing bonus effects! Effect: A bill is borrowed and signed by the spectator. The performer then completely vanishes the bill. The performer then points out a tin of mints that has been in view throughout. The spectator tips out the contents. Inside is a box of ‘Tic Tac’ breath mints but instead of mints a folded bill can be clearly seen. The lid is popped off the box and the bill is tipped out onto the spectators hand. They actually see it come from the box which is now genuinely empty. The bill is unfolded and sure enough, it bears the spectators signature! Can also be performed with playing cards, business cards, billets etc. The possibilities for this amazing utilty gimmick are endless! ALSO INCLUDES 3 AWESOME BONUS EFFECTS! BONUS 1: Cards Gone Wild - An incredible packet effect that YOU WILL USE! |
CAMERON FRANCIS Two spectators each choose one of the four Aces. In an instant, all the Aces change into the first selection with the exception of one which is face down. This card is revealed to be the second selection! BONUS 2: Twisted Limo Service - The four Jacks are removed from the deck then two cards are selected - one is sealed in the card case the other is lost in the deck. The four Jacks now magically turn face down, one at a time before suddenly transforming into a single card! It’s the selection that was in the card case! The case is opened and inside we find the four Jacks with the second selection face down in between them! BONUS 3: Hard Knocks - Two cards are selected and signed on the back before being lost back into the deck. With a snap, the deck is spread and both selections are seen to be reversed! Each spectator holds onto their respective selection. Another snap and the signatures on the back transpose! This could be the most direct method EVER conceived for this type of effect! |

TRULY SUBLIMINAL Once again Ben Highway and Kenton push past the barriers of what can be done in mentalism and magic. Like Kolossal Killer before it, this brings a new standard to dealing with spectator intuition and free spectator choice, challenging all previous methods. A card is selected and returned to the deck. The deck is cut or mixed. It’s NOT a card trick. It is a real demonstration of subliminal influence. |
KENTON KNEPPER Spectator deal cards face up on to the table, stopping whenever they feel the need. They are not to think about when to stop, but rather to stop when they feel it is time to stop. In other words, the participant must stop dealing using only his or her own intuition. The performer remains hands off as the spectator deals. The spectator deals using intuition, until they arrive at their own selected card. The spectator does not know how he or she deals to their own card. But they do. Really. |

| BK41342 | SCROLLS - marvelous, wonderful and secret things were written upon them. Now, a new kind of Scroll. Scrolls is about magic. Scrolls is about story telling. Scrolls is about The Authors efforts, thoughts and journeys into the world of Bizarre Magic. To the author, Bizarre Magic is about story telling. Its about using a combination of magic and stories to produce a feeling. Contained in these pages are some of Tims routines, articles and obsessions. You will not really find anything in the way of new moves or innovative handling. If anything, you will find that handlings are as simple as possible and even very close to the moves you find described in the store-bought instructions. |
TIM CONVERSE Where possible, he tries to give credit where it belongs and where it is most certainly due. Everything is about stories. Also, as a matter of general concern, you will find that everything is kept as simple as possible. There arent many books which focus on Bizarre Magic to begin with, and of the ones that are available, many contain very elaborate effects and very elaborate setups. While these effects are often excellent, sometimes they are so intensive they become difficult to use regularly. And they shouldnt be. 125 page, large format book, features Essays on Character, Acting, Material and 20 plus routines that you could actually USE. |

The author was present when they rediscovered him in America fifty years later.The book recounts the revolution and |
KARL SURATH the agony of Marco's forced exile. It covers his seven years of doctoral studies and friendship with Abraham Maslow at Brandeis University.

The book includes forewords by John Fisher, Dr. Ricardo Morant (Fierman Professor of Psychology, emeritus at Brandeis), and Luis Puello, a former student in Santa Clara, Cuba. Chapters contain interviews with Cesareo about how he conceived and directed the shows. It also includes interviews with Le Grand David about his role in the productions. |

HATCHING Suppose you could take an egg and a coin and have both of them marked by a spectator. You then cause the coin to magically penetrate INSIDE the egg. A small hole is chipped in the egg, big enough to pour out some of the egg goo, but small enough that a coin, which will be found INSIDE the egg, cannot escape. Spectator can look inside the hole and verify they see the coin AND their mark. Spectator can reach through the hole and grab the coin |
NEFESCH with tongs or tweezers and pull it out THROUGH the shell themselves AND can immediately verify that it IS the same coin they marked earlier. No tricky sleights. You receive a manuscript giving you two versions of this effect, one totally impromptu, and another which thoroughly explains the gimmick.

SECOND GUEST A deck of cards is removed from its case and handed to the spectator for shuffling. It is a genuine, unmarked deck – not gimmicked in any way. The spectator shuffles the cards until he is satisfied and then holds on to them – the performer doesn't touch them again. Drawing attention to the card case, the performer fairly shows it on all sides pointing out that there are clearly no slits or holes to be found anywhere. You turn your back and instruct the spectator to spread the cards face down, push any card from the spread and without looking at it, seal it in the card case. The rest of the deck is then hidden from view and the performer turns back round and begins to concentrate intensely, focusing all his energy on the card case. Bit by bit, he begins to reveal the unknown card. First the colour...black. Then the suit...a Club. And finally, the value...a King, the King of Clubs! The spectator is |
DAVID FORREST asked to remove the card from the case and sure enough the card inside is none other than the King of Clubs!The above is merely an example of what is possible with the devious gimmick described within. The Second Guest uses a 100% regular deck that is genuinely shuffled in any fashion by the spectator. No marked cards. No prior set up of the deck. Completely free choice of card which will be different every time. Can be performed at any point in your set – not strictly an opener or closer. You'll love the action of the 'auto-gimmick' that hides in plain sight until you activate it through the simplest of actions and proceed to devastate the onlookers with your amazing powers of second sight! You will construct the diabolical gimmick in around twenty minutes. Once it's made, it's there for good and can be used over and over again. As always, you will most likely already have everything that you need to construct it but if not the materials are VERY easily acquired! |
