Fred Kaps - It's So Simple CD
Back in 1965 Fred Kaps gave a landmark lecture at the Magic Circle and now this lecture is available on CD together with a booklet containing a transcript of the lecture. Bearing in mind Fred Kaps' reputation, it is strange that so little has been written about the man and his methods. Other than several magazine contributions, little of Fred Kaps' work exists in the English language. There are two sets of lecture notes, one dealing with general magic and the other describing some of the coin magic Kaps performed on a film made for magicians. Both seem to be still in print although the name of the publisher is not indicated in either and those copies in circulation today may well be unauthorised. Although not an inventor, Kaps did have the ability to take any effect and make it a miracle by moulding it to his own personality; a personality which made it impossible for others to copy. This was one of the keys to Kap’s success. He made the trick part of himself. Its presentation was so interwoven with his own personality that it was impossible to imagine anyone else performing anything that Kaps had already done. He did this again and again. The Floating Cork, Homing Card, Salt Pour, Surprise Stab, Blank Notes to Bank Notes, Chink A Chink and many others. After Kaps had performed the routine you could not imagine anyone else doing it better. Many years ago we released this incredible lecture on a Magicassette together with a small booklet. The whole recording has now been digitized. The booklet has been redesigned and re-written and the entire package is available on CD with the booklet.

Subliminal Effect (CD Set) by Kenton Knepper
Kenton is releasing at last some of the secret CDs he has used to make a deep impression on clients and everyday audiences. The first CD package creates instant credibility. You will be able to prove immediately that you are a trained and certified expert in subliminal programming and telepathic influence. Gather a group of friends together and watch as they learn to pick up on subliminal influence... You'll perform for 30 minutes, and the most you need do is a card force and equivoque (only once each) - and only if you wish to add these in. You do not need to perform these to use the majority of the CD. Your friends will be highly impressed as they begin to accurately pick up on the subliminal cues on the CD (yes, these subliminals are really on the CD). Kenton has used such audio devices to instantly generate respect and credibility as a mentalist, suggestionist, hypnotist and more. Put on this CD, tally up the amazing results, and your guests will be so intrigued that they will be begging you to talk more about your abilities and special knowledge. This is the perfect introduction to mentalism performed in your home, as a lead in to booking hypnosis or mentalism shows with a small group, "training" people to tune into subliminal, telepathic or personal intuition, selling subliminal CDs, and more. Kenton's special wording, psychological forces and applications, subliminal recording, sound marking and other sneaky things are at work on the CD - so that you don't really have to work at all. All that you need do is show your Certified Tester's Certificate (included) and then focus on interacting with your guests as the "official" CD plays. Then be prepared to be taken VERY seriously. All with little work on your part. Subliminal testing CD, Detailed Instructional CD by Kenton himself, and Two Certified Subliminal Tester Certificates included. Sure there's a trick to it all - but your guests and audiences will think it is as legitimate as can be. These CDs helped make Kenton's reputation as a serious investigator of suggestion and mentalism. The CDs can do the same for you - instantly. Frankly, it's also just a lot of fun for both listeners and performer! Make for a memorable evening in your home or group with Kenton's special "Subliminal Effects CD Set". Important!: If you want to appear as just a typical trickster, do NOT order this special set.

Wonder Words Vol. 1 CD's by Kenton Knepper
Volume 1 Imagine being able to take control of the very thoughts, perceptions, and responses of your audience. Picture your audiences' amazement when they really can not explain the trick because the magic is done with words, not sleights or props. This is what Wonder Words will teach you. It is prestidigitation of the mind. It's finally here, the audio book everyone has been waiting for. After lots of prodding from Larry Becker, Jeff McBride, Docc Hilford, Dr. Juris, Lee Earle and many other pros, Kenton has agreed to part with the information that he has kept under tight wraps to all but a very select few. Whether you're a magician or mentalist, Kentons' secrets will radically alter your work and the reaction to it. Revealed are the verbal tools used by top psychologists to influence and control clients' actions and attitudes. This is not a dissertation on hypnosis, this is Wonder Words -- The Art of Linguistic Deception. Perhaps even more telling was the response at Docc Hilfords' Weerd Weekend. Wonder Words was a complete sell-out less than an hour after Kenton introduced it. Docc himself said "This is the new Fitzkee." Others said "One of the most significant works ever produced in magic," "This is going into the library at the Castle." Even before it's official release, Jeff McBride praised Wonder Words saying, "You're a spell-weaver of words that can even make mimes speak...I'm living proof. Your material has dramatically transformed the way I'm doing my spell weaving these days!" As important as this material is to your work, you're probably anxious to get a copy of your own. Finally you can...here's how. Just fill out the order form on the back of this sheet, mail it in and very soon you will know what few others know... The Art of Linguistic Deception

Wonder Words Vol. 2 Audio Tapes by Kenton Knepper
Wonder Words Volume Two is subtitled "The Real Work" because it is exactly that. In Wonder Words Volume One Kenton began the journey....Volume Two turns that journey into a performance altering adventure. So what's the big deal? For starters: Wouldn't it be great if people constantly talked about a trick they saw you perform when in fact you NEVER EVER did that trick at all? Just think of it! There is a secret way to simply tell a story and cause people to believe they actually SAW YOU PERFORM the trick, when all you did was TALK ABOUT IT! (No, it isn't "hypnosis"). In Volume One, you were (As Michael Close said) "Totally Blown Away" by how easy it was to greatly improve your performance by changing a few simple words. Volume Two -- The Real Work offers equally simple techniques that achieve even more startling results. Still want more? Well of course there are killer effects as part of the package. Like how to cause a spectator to TRAVEL THROUGH TIME and come back with PHYSICAL PROOF. This is directly from Kenton's act. Yes all the little touches Kenton uses are there as always. What else? How about an "Invisible Deck" routine with no deck at all? No stooges or other sneaky set ups either. The spectator just MIMES taking a card from thin air, and you can TELL them what they chose (No it isn't some silly mathematical thing either). Another diabolical effect is a never before published telephone trick. Already several performers are using this bit to book thousands of dollars in extra performances.... You can too! OF COURSE THERE'S MUCH MORE... Perhaps you'd like to be able to point into the sky and cause a cloud, any cloud a spectator chooses, to vanish from the sky. No kidding. It's easy once you know the right WORDS. Kenton gives you the WHOLE story on how to do this with words alone. Imagine you have a spectator just THINK of any letter in any word they choose. Now imagine that you not only tell the spectator the letter they are thinking about, but you also describe the EXACT THOUGHTS they had while deciding on that particular letter! Isn't that what a REAL "mindreader" would be able to do? Now you can! Did we mention the ability to look at a spectator and KNOW if they would "play along" or be overly skeptical? You will learn this too. Wouldn't it be great if you could determine how a spectator felt about money, people, their play time, their work time, etc. just by a spectator uttering a few simple words? You can, and Kenton will tell you how. Of course there is still so much more! So just consider this: If you have ever wanted to be a rousing success in your work; If you have ever wanted to honestly MOVE an audience; If you have ever wanted to be considered "legendary"; If you have ever wanted people to remember your shows for YEARS even DECADES to come; If you have ever wanted to learn the REAL WORK that only the most successful acts in entertainment use, THEN THESE TAPES ARE FOR YOU. If you don't care about ANY of these things, then maybe all the effects above have got your attention. There's even more of those too! Whatever your reason for purchasing Wonder Words Volume Two, you're bound to be blown away by the material it contains. If you have Volume One you already know how important this series is to your performances. Many of you have applied the principles in the first volume to your "other" work. Find Out Why Movie Studio Heads, Theatrical Directors, Lawyers, Publishers and Performers The World Over Have Been Anxiously Awaiting!

Wonder Words Vol. 3 CD's by Kenton Knepper
Kenton ends the series with a BANG including contributions from Jeff McBride, Dan Harlan, Joel Bauer, Docc Hilford, and MORE. This final volume will leave you breathless! The book alone is over 50 pages in length, with detailed effects direct from the acts of working pros. There is also a complete and precise index to BOTH Volumes Two AND Three, for easy reference (Volume One has its own index). And Volume Three is JAM-PACKED, the biggest volume ever! So what else is in here? Imagine being able to get a spectator to scream, just by saying a few seemingly harmless words. Just think of an entire audience believing in you INSTANTLY, because you speak a single phrase. Learn to stop unwanted annoyances dead in their tracks. Discover the one secret word that causes people to do what you want them to - it's proven scientifically! Uncover the "code" used throughout the series. This alone can expand the series into the equivalent of another several volumes. Hear how your tone of voice can become a "gimmick" in any effect or routine. Uncover the secret about ALL words! And that's just for starters... What about the "tricks?" A spectator holds his watch and merely THINKS of a special moment in time. You not only begin to describe this event, you reveal the time - which now shows on his watch! Or how about this: You not only talk about "subliminal programming" - you prove it. In fact, this might be how the trick really works! There are more than a half-dozen other incredible effects. You won't believe all that Kenton has given up THIS time - the final time!

Piddingtons CD
During the Summer of 1949 on BBC radio a young couple from Australia started broadcasting in London what seemed to be genuine feats of mindreading and telepathy. The whole of Britain was stunned as messages were transmitted from BBC headquarters to places such as the Tower of London or an underwater diving bell. Despite the long range, Sydney and Lesley Piddington were apparently able to communicate with each other in a way that defied explanation. The exact methods used have never been revealed and although many magicians claim to know exactly how they worked their act an explanation is rarely forthcoming. On this 70 minute MagiCD Patrick Page (who is the narrater) takes you on a fascinating trip to meet the Piddingtons. You will hear them on British and Australian radio as well. The script is by Barry Wiley.

Bizarre CD by Doc Shiels
Stephen King in his book Dance Macabre, a book that deals with horror in literature and film, pointed out that the only two kinds of movies which produced an audible reaction from an audience were comedy and horror. It was Tony Shiels who pushed magic in the direction of horror and, long before magic-as-theatre became the latest fad, suggested that tricks could be made more entertaining if their presentations were more dramatic; perhaps a little out of the ordinary. Few took up the suggestion but those that did went on to found what is today known as Bizarre Magick; magic which involves those who witness it. On this MagiCD, Tony takes clever effects, adds a little supernatural spice, a dash of shamanic showmanship and turns them into memorable theatre. This MagiCD will introduce you to the character of Tony 'Doc' Shiels, tell you a little of his background and influences and offer a glimpse of his extraordinary brand of Magick. Shutter the windows, bar the doors, sit back and enjoy this recording - if you dare! This is the second MagiCD™ from Martin Breese. It is a digitally re-mastered version of the original MagiCassette™ first released in 1988.

Music CDs - The Royalty Free Way To Add Music To Your Shows

The Music of Bill White
Written expressly for magicians, by a magician, Bill White's background tracks are designed to pull the emotion straight from your audience. If you're searching for a way to turn those high energy manipulation acts, levitations or even comedy magic routines you've worked so hard on into real reputation-makers, look no further than the following five Compact Discs.
"Bill White wrote Ferret Fusion for me. I asked for a simple piece of jazz and got a full-blown, absolutely amazing orchestral combination. Exactly what I wanted! His work is awesome!" Simon Lovell "Bill does a great job. You will be pleased with the variety of moods that his music can create in your show." Kevin James "I find Bill White’s music for magicians the perfect mix of rhythm and mood for setting the feel of your magic." Oscar Munoz "Bill Whites CDs are in my opinion the best royalty free music for magic on the market to date! Furthermore, they set a new standard that will be difficult for anyone else to follow… The music is truly well thought out and it strokes an emotional chord, which is what magicians need for inspiration to bring out the aesthetics in your act…truly inspiring music!!!" Donovan Atreides "I just love this music so much… I don’t want to share it with anyone. Now lets create magic to match this music!" John Bowden "The CDs arrived and are great… I feel there is something there that most any working magician can use!" George Lyon

Card College #1 EBook by Roberto Giobbi
Card College is a modern classic. It is without a doubt the most important work on sleight of hand with cards. This is the first volume in a series of five. The speciality of this electronic book are its 89 video clips, which show how Giobbi executes each and every technique described. This ebook has also been nominated as a finalist in the prestigious EPPIE 2004 ebook award in the category non-fiction/how-to. This is the first magic book to be nominated for a non-magic book price. Please note that there are significant differences between the latest printed edition of "Card College 1" and this ebook, beside the video clips. This ebook was based on the German edition "Grosse Kartenschule 1" which has a somewhat different selection of chapters than the English one from Hermetic Press. One could say it is the author's cut: Chapter 9 'The Glimpse' in this ebook appears in volume 2 of the Hermetic Press series. On the other hand chapters 13, 14, 15 and 16 from the Hermetic Press book are missing in this ebook. They will be available in the electronic "Card College 2". Beside the chapter differences between the paper edition and this ebook, Giobbi added about 20 new pages to "Card College 1" since the latest printing. There have been numerous additions particularly to the 'Final Notes' and 'Check Points' sections. Chapter 1 has a new section on the card case.You might think that opening a card case is a trivial matter. Not so, says Roberto, who disects this process into its smallest part and gives you plenty of good reasons why you should know all these details. A new routine 'Further than that...' was added to Chapter 5 'Force Techniques Part 1'. And finally the 'Bibliographic Notes' have been updated and extended. So even if you have already "Card College 1" the book, there are plenty of reasons why you want to have this ebook. This ebook is to my knowledge the first of its kind not just for magic literature but in general. The inclusion of several dozens of video clips extends and completes the description of moves and techniques and allows the student a deeper and quicker learning. Altogether 89 video clips are present. These show Giobbi's hands without any comments, since one can find all comments already in the text. It would anyway be futile to try to capture all written information as a monologue in video. Video clips have to be understood as an addition and not as standalone. Each form of expression is used in its most efficient way. With the written word one can provide a lot of searchable details and present them in a clear and precise manner. Illustrations capture important moments and positions. And video clips convey the timing and motion of a technique. Video clips also allow one to acquire a basic understanding and overview in a few seconds. I am convinced that you will be delighted by this ebook. It will help you reach new levels in your card magic and reach them faster.

Close, Michael - Closely Gaurded Secrets CD-Rom
This revolutionary CD-Rom/Ebook includes routines straight from Michael's act at the Houdini Lounge in the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. -The Luckiest Cards in Las Vegas -The Shuffles Routine -The Dumbest Casino in the World -The Cheating Lessons -The Trick that Lance Burton Showed Me ...and much more. * Text provides the information * Photographs clarify the text * Video shows the perfected sleights This ebook offers unparalleled instruction by allowing text, photographs, and video clips to do what they do best and can be printed out to produce a spectacular 8.5 x 11, 179-page book. Each routine is described in complete detail in Michael Close’s clear, easy-to-read style. It’s almost like having private lessons with Michael Close. BONUS: Three Essays on Magic Theory and Michael’s Presentation & Handling of: Dean Dill’s Box & Gary Plants Magnetized Cards. Closely Guarded Secrets in More Detail The 179 pages of Closely Guarded Secrets contain 18 chapters. The ebook begins with two introductory chapters. The first is casual in nature, allowing me the opportunity to fill you in on what’s been happening in my life. The second chapter is more formal; it explains the theory behind the ebook. In this chapter I also discuss my desire to make my performances feel theatrically real to my audiences. It is not my goal to make my spectators believe that I am doing real magic. But during my performance I never want to take the audience “out of the show” by reminding them that I’m doing tricks. I do this by creating handlings that (as much as humanly possible) match the way I would handle the props if I had the power of a real magician. You’ll find that this philosophy has been applied to every routine in CGS. The next three chapters detail the three routines that were the backbone of my Houdini Lounge set. The Trick that Lance Burton Showed Me demonstrates what happens when you live with a trick for 15 years. This is my handling and presentation for Dan Garrett’s Four Card Reiteration. I discussed this trick on one of the Very Very Close videos, but there is new work in this ebook. Presentation for Gary Plants’s Magnetized Cards is my handling of this superb marketed effect. Many professionals have asked permission to perform this, but until now I have selfishly kept it to myself. The Luckiest Cards in Las Vegas is the strongest memorized deck trick I have ever developed. It is stack independent, and is very forgiving in terms of estimation. This chapter begins with an overview of memdeck work, offered in the hopes that a few misconceptions will be cleared up. Next is an essay titled On Venue & Evolution. The Shuffles Routine has been in my repertoire for more than 30 years. You may already have a similar routine in your repertoire, but there are stratagems offered here that I think you will find very useful. I performed this at my 51st birthday party in front of a room full of some the best magicians in the world, and it got roars of laughter. The Cheating Lessons is a gambling demonstration. I have designed this to be a lesson in elegant card handling. You’ll also discover a very useful patter line and an easy method for obtaining a surprise kicker at the end of the routine. The next chapter is titled On Sleights. It begins with an essay on how to practice. In this chapter I discuss False Shuffles (Faro and otherwise), the Pass, and the Multiple Top Palm. The focus of the chapter is on stratagems for changing the moment, rather than on revolutionary new techniques. If you have ever hesitated using the Faro shuffle in your work, you will find two ideas here that may well be worth the price of the ebook. The Dumbest Casino in the World is a new approach to a familiar plot. The presentation is very funny, and the method will fool laymen and magicians. The Famous Detective Collectors is my handling of Larry Jennings’s Distributraction. Of particular interest is the elimination of ATFUS. I believe that when cards have been removed from the deck they should never be counted back onto the deck. This handling achieves that. Incidentally, this is one of the most difficult card tricks I’ve ever performed. If you want a challenge, you’ll find it here. (The good news is that to the spectators, no manipulation is visible.) The next three chapters deal with Magic for Magicians. There is an essay that includes several interesting approaches, followed by two tricks that you can use to fool your buddies. Pipedreams includes a variety of ideas that I have never really used in my professional work. However, they are all practical and useful. Many came about as I played with items that were sent in for review. Tim Trono has commented that my suggestion for the marketed effect Pyro Perceptions is worth the price of admission. Sideswiped Meets the Bammo Deck Walloper is a combination of two excellent marketed effects by Simon Aronson and Bob Farmer. Combining these two routines solves some problems and produces a climax that fools everybody. My presentation of Dean Dill’s Box is next. The third phase of this routine is different than Dean’s and really leaves the spectators with a strong memory of what has happened. The final chapter is titled On the Workers Series. In this chapter I answer some questions about the evolution of the series, plus I provide some updates on several of the routines.

Digital Gen Magazine on CD-ROM
"Okay, It's official. With the release of the English magazine The Gen in a digital format we now all have access to enough good magic to last us at least four lifetimes...I have often wished that I had a complete file of The Gen. Happily, I now do. I urge you to support this project."-Michael Close MAGIC Magazine The Digital Gen is now ready from Martin Breese and it comes on four CD Roms complete with a 161 page index compiled by Dr Michael Collie. The GEN ran for 26 years starting in 1945 and it has nearly 9000 pages, over 300 issues and it took a team of two experts just under 3 months to scan all the pages and to correct over 13500 photographic images. The price in the USA is $120 and in the UK and Europe it is priced at £75 post free. Harry Stanley published the magazine and it was edited by Lewis Ganson. There were hundreds of well known names who contributed to the GEN but here are just a few: Al Koran, David Berglas, Ed Marlo, Billy McComb, Ken Brooke, Robert Harbin, Juan Tamariz, Roy Walton, Jack Avis, Dai Vernon, Fred Lowe, Bob Driebeek, Fred Kaps and many, many more. HUGH MILLER ... HIMSELF ... I had an order a while ago from a gentleman with the name of Hugh Miller. Could it be the one and only Hugh Miller? And it was. We exchanged emails and when the Digital Gen came out Hugh ordered it immediately. He told me that he had not only written several magic books for Harry Stanley but he also wrote for the Gen and worked at the Unique Magic Studios as well. He mentioned the days when he and Ken Brooke and the rest of the boys used to pack the Gen ready for despatch around the world and the story was so interesting that I asked him to write it up for our website. Hugh is a busy man still and writes for tv as well as writing a wide range of novels for general consumption. If you can still remember the days when the Gen magazine was published and if you ever took a trip to the Unique Studio then this article will evoke happy memories for you. If you are a little younger then you will still find this article to be really fascinating. GEN DAY by Hugh Miller One evening at least forty years ago, at the end of a particularly wearying day at Unique Magic, Ken Brooke put on his jacket, poured a couple of glasses of Scotch from a dusty bottle labelled ROUGHING FLUID, and handed me one. 'If we put as much time and energy into any other business,' he said, 'we'd be millionaires.' He was probably right. As I recall it, our commitment to the magic business was total. Cy Endfield said our eagerness for the job resembled an unhealthy religious fervour. At 7.30 sharp, six mornings a week, we would unlock the door of the Unique Studio in Soho and blunder in, yawning and invariably shivering. There was an opening drill: Ken turned up the heating and I put on the kettle. We would have a swift cup of tea and be started before eight. At that time the magic business was on a roll (for those of us with London W1 addresses, at any rate) and the pressures of the working day could be relentless. Often we didn't get back home before 10 o'clock at night, but Ken appeared to thrive on turbulence and he cut through it without a shudder. I did my best to keep up. To this day Ken's magical brilliance and his formidable talent as a demonstrator are well known to the fraternity, but demos and selling were only part of his job at Unique. For years he single-handedly managed the mail-order side of the business, packing and despatching mailbags full of magic five days a week. He spent hours routining and writing detailed instructions for most of the tricks marketed under the Harry Stanley banner - a task that required Ken himself to type the text directly on to stencils and then print the 'Magi-Tutors' on a Roneo duplicator. On Saturdays from 9 until 4 he held forth in the studio, demonstrating and talking magic to visitors, blending his skill and humour with an awesome talent for selling. Years later, when Ken was running his own business on Wardour Street, he and I would meet occasionally to down a few and talk over old times. Invariably the conversation would turn to Gen Day, the monolithic monthly event when the pressure went up and we struggled to meet Harry Stanley's sacred deadline. Our secretary Mavis had the date boldly marked in red on every sheet of her calendar: during my years with Unique Magic, Gen Day was usually the 15th of the month. It was publication day, drop-everything-else day, the day Harry insisted we get his beloved magazine packed and despatched worldwide to subscribers and magical dealers, all within four hours of its arrival in the studio. 'I don't want phone calls, I don't want complaints,' Harry would say. 'People expect to get the Gen on time. I hate apologising when they don't.' Early on the morning of Gen Day hundreds of envelopes and labels were fed through Mavis's addressing machine, a primitive device which she swore would jam if she took her eyes off it. As soon as the printers made their delivery, Ken and myself - and whoever else we could recruit - began ripping open the parcels and setting out the magazines in stacks on the workbench. In my early days at the studio Ken taught me how to load a Gen into an envelope and tuck in the flap, all in one smooth movement without lifting the envelope off the bench. It was a swift and rather elegant manoeuvre, a combination of rhythm and dexterity. I took a while to get the knack, but by the time I finally cracked it my packing speed had trebled. After packing, then stacking according to country of destination, every envelope, packet and parcel had to be franked with the correct amount of postage. Here was another area where rhythm and nimble handling could make all the difference, although our elderly franking machine could spring surprises. On one occasion Harry's son Bill, new to the machine, bumped one of the adjusting levers with his knuckle as he whizzed the magazines through the slot. Before he knew it he had franked eight envelopes at over £7 a time and used up all the credit on the machine. On Gen Days we often had celebrity packers, because many professional magicians were regular customers of Unique Magic, and we never hesitated to ask casual visitors to help. None of them ever objected to 'mucking in', as Ken put it. Subscribers would have been intrigued to know that many individual copies of the had been packed at various times by Robert Harbin, Al Koran, Tommy Cooper, Maurice Fogel and quite a few other big names in the business. Harry once let me see a snapshot he took in the early 1950s, showing Orson Welles sitting at a card table in the old Frith Street studio. The actor was a keen amateur magician and on his visits to England he often bought equipment from Harry. The picture showed Welles hammily puffing on a cigar as he popped a copy of the Gen into an envelope. Looking back on it all, I realise my time at Unique Magic coincided with a gilded period in 20th - Century magic. Back then our trade had a status we can scarcely imagine today. Countless professionals were working regularly and actually topping bills; talented amateurs played to large, appreciative audiences; a genuine and boundless enthusiasm permeated the entire magic scene and on all sides there was innovation, as a study of any issue of the Gen will demonstrate. For most of us in the retail side of magic it was a time of great fun - and in spite of the strain and occasionally ragged tempers, it was even a bit of a lark to pack a mountain of magazines once a month and schlepp them down to the Post Office. In my six years at Unique Magic I never missed a Gen Day, and in 1970, when Harry called and told me the last issue had been printed and sent out, it felt like news of a sad passing. But the Gen lives on, after all, preserved in its digital entirety on the magnificent four-disc edition from Martin Breese. It's bliss to ramble through the magazine again, any time I like, with no clutter or fuss, and no fear of doing damage to such a precious resource. As a bonus, there is a distinctly magical glow in knowing that every issue of the Gen is tucked safely away in a corner of a desk drawer. Harry Stanley would have loved that.

Digital Magic Wand Magazine on CD-ROM
The Magic Wand has been painstakingly scanned and put on three CD Roms and is supplied together with an introductory leaflet by Todd Karr. The Digital Magic Wand (which can be enjoyed on PC or Mac) has been long awaited and has taken many, many months of careful work. The Magic Wand began life as The Wizard and was published and edited by P T Selbit. After 5 years it changed its name to The Magic Wand and was edited for many years by George Munro. Without doubt The Magic Wand is the most important, most significant and most interesting of all the magic magazines to be published during the last century in Britain. There is not a magician of any worth who is not mentioned within its pages and the tricks it contains can so easily be used today. The style of the magazine changed with the decades but in 1957 it came to an unexpected end. Within the pages of the magazine is the history of magic. As Todd Karr says in his wonderful introduction to The Digital Magic Wand, “A wave of the wand and you will be transported into a world of secrets long hidden away. Thanks to digital magic, you have the power at your fingertips to open the doors of bygone magicians and lost secrets. Caverns of information await you: articles by the masters, profiles on the top practitioners, historical research and effects in every realm of conjuring.” Disc One Volumes 1-15 Introductory leaflet by Todd Karr Discs Two & Three Volumes 16-30 & Volumes 31-46

Mummy Dearest CD-Rom by Mike Bent
Transform your ordinary Temple Screen trick into a hilarious Halloween classic that packs flat and plays really big!

Finally you give up looking and turn to apologize to your helper, but Yikes! -- he is the mummy!

SAR CD-ROM by Kenton Knepper and J. Tank
Subconcious Analysis & Reprogramming
Many years ago J. Tank and Kenton Knepper released a system for readings called "S.A.R.." which quickly made its way into mainstream therapy and was pulled off the market. Unavailable for years, the original, complete S.A.R. system is back! This new 1.7 version contains the same text as the original, except it is on a CD-ROM. Of course, you will then be able to print out your own copies of the papers on your home printer. As a special bonus, certified S.A.R. buyers will be listed on a special S.A.R. site. This allows clients to check up on you and see that you are legitimate, get basic contact info and more! This is a new addition to the 1.7 version. The CD-ROM contains many different versions of the the complete S.A.R. Training Manual files, compatible with both PC and Macintosh computers in both text formats and MS Word file versions. So, What IS "Subconscious Analysis and Reprogramming" Anyways? Subconscious Analysis and Reprogramming (S.A.R.) has been extensively developed over a three-year period of intensive field study. S.A.R gives the appearance of a sound "psychological" reading. In fact, it seems so legitimate that psychologists and therapists all over the country have offered thousands of dollars to be "trained" in S.A.R. Kenton and J. Tank actually found a way to bridge the questionable nature of psychic readings with the more acceptable systems of psychology. In the end, this had little to do with their training in academia and everything to do with their understanding of everyday illusions, and how to take clear advantage of them. And the best part is, now you can, too! So, what's S.A.R. all about? How to use simple yet powerful illusions to create an astounding and accurate reading with very little effort. The results you will get with S.A.R. are virtually guaranteed. As simple as it is to do, the discoveries are profound and lasting. In fact, your "clients" do most of the ‘work’! What S.A.R. Can Do For You: * Analyze and read a client accurately without worry. * Tell a client about their hidden subconscious beliefs. * Literally change these hidden beliefs at a deep subconscious level. * Change a client’s conscious point of view. * Help clients evaluate and modify past behavior. * Give clients mental shortcuts to further success. * Teach clients how to get their conscious and subconscious minds to work together. * Clients take home physical proof of a successful reading. * Be beyond reproach among Psychologists and Counselors. * Add instant credibility to all of your work. * Apparently erase a client’s “old tapes”, and initiate new ones. * Learn the simple words that fool science and psychology alike. * Get the single secret word that “reprograms” a client instantly. * Use illusions in a practical and productive manner. * Actually reprogram a client’s hidden beliefs! * And become a certified S.A.R. Technician, complete with diploma at no additional cost. It’s all part of the package when you purchase the S.A.R. System.

Stanyon's original lessons in magic were published in each issue and formed a significant course of magical instruction. Magic featured close-up effects, routines, stage and parlour magic including some of the great classic effects and each issue contained much of interest to magic enthusiasts. Stanyon delighted in reviewing other performer's acts and provided his own explanations for the methods used for the tricks he saw.

Webb, Gregg - The Book That Doesn't Exist ....And More! CD
Why be a follower? Gregg Webb’s CD-ROM/e-book “The Book That Doesn’t Exist…And More!” shows how to twist ideas into tricks and routines that are completely different from the mainstream -- resulting in an alternate approach to magic. The CD contains nearly 500 pages from magic newsletters Gregg wrote, richly illustrated, and circulated privately over a four-year period. Webb uses personal examples to show you how he creates unique magic. The range of material is staggering! Lots of tricks with cards and coins. Also mentalism effects, magic with bills, tricks with improvised pendulums, mind-reading stunts with soda-pop cans, ESP demonstrations, tricks with children’s jacks, blindfolded poker deals, voodoo, and pure sleight of hand galore. Gimmick enthusiasts will also find new uses for invisible thread, magnets, pulls, postage stamps, and poster putty(!). Included are Gregg’s secrets of billiard ball manipulation -- also complete manipulation routines and advice for other props such as playing cards, linking rings, and rope. And, he includes LOTS of bonus material. A lover and master of sleights, Webb also recognizes the importance of shortening long tricks. He chooses practical subtleties and sleights – rather than rehashing the “latest” moves that might otherwise flash. Readers learn how to break away from the mainstream and not to perform other’s feats exactly as written! Gregg is especially interested in applying dodges and new approaches to clean up – for example, he doesn’t favor lapping and considers it to be impractical in most venues. Learn to think OUTSIDE THE BOX and create NEW BOXES TO THINK IN. Gregg Webb explains the thought process – in a fun and humorous way – of breaking away from the crowd, changing the “conventional wisdom” to fit YOU, and tinkering with your routines. You’ll find your magic is different from the rest, and not just THE SAME! Learn why there is more than one way to skin a black cat from a master manipulator, thinker, and teacher.

"This is a complete revitalization of the Workers books, including an improved and expanded layout, corrected text, larger illustrations, and extensive annotations that cover insights and innovations that have been discovered since the books were first published. This is the Workers series the way I wish it could have looked when I first brought them out." Michael Close This new Ebook contains updated comments, bonus material, and a new and improved layout and two bonus tricks. More than 650 pages! Here are some comments about the Workers Ebook. "I've seen Michael do this stuff for real audiences, so I know these routines truly are workers: Effective, commercial and smart." Max Maven "These are books I turn to again and again. I can't imagine any serious close-up library that is without its Workers." Gordon Bean "Rarely, but every once and a while, you start reading a book and suddenly it makes you realize how shallow everything else you've been reading is. Among those rare enlightenments is Michael Close's Workers series. Even if you never perform a single one of these routines just reading them will give countless insights into making your magic better." Stephen Minch "Michael Close's Workers series has it all: deceptive tricks, strong technique, audience-tested material, sound psychology and theory, structured routines, practical tips and touches, original commerical presentations - and more. It's like taking private lessons from a master. Workers is a must-have for any thoughtful magic library." Simon Aronson "I have long and impatiently awaited a single volume Workers collection, and I have said many times that had these works first been released as a single book they would have been instantly hailed as one of the two or three most important texts of the decade, right along side Tommy Wonder's The Books of Wonder. I love the Workers series, and I can't wait to read them again." Jamy Ian Swiss
