We have limited stock, so it's best to order soon!
Today's recommendations are some of our favorite books on the site.
Calico
Calico is the first full-length book from Rick Holcombe, one of the finest modern coin magicians our team has ever seen. This lavishly illustrated hardback book is more than a decade in the making. It offers something for every skill level and, most importantly, proves that coin magic doesn’t need to be difficult or boring. It’s accessible for all magicians and can captivate any audience.
The Boy Who Cried Magic
We promise, Andi didn’t ask us to include his book. The Boy Who Cried Magic is full of amazing card routines that are perfect for real working magicians. In all, there are sixteen routines and fifteen new sleights. You'll learn Andi's highly sought-after magician foolers, as well as his complete professional card act. Plus, he goes in depth on some of his most enduring moves, including the Master Pushoff and Undo Cut, which are in use by some of the world's finest magicians.
The Nth Degree
The Nth Degree, by John Gustafaro, is full of the type of creative card magic we love. Each routine has been refined and road-tested to reach the pinnacle of methodology and entertainment value. From interactive effects designed to get your audience actively involved to novel new approaches for four-of-a-kind effects, this fresh and sophisticated card magic caters to magicians of all skill levels and styles.
Piff the Magic Book
Piff the Magic Book gives you a first-hand look at Piff the Magic Dragon’s entire life in magic, from how he became a magic dragon to how he landed a show in Las Vegas, as well as the routines that got him there. In total, Piff explains 10 of his favorite tricks in complete detail with help from one of magic’s premier authors, John Lovick. You’ll learn amazing routines like the Ring in Egg he did on America’s Got Talent: The Champions, as well as the famous signed card in dog food effect that earned him a Golden Buzzer from Neil Patrick Harris.
The Principles of Destruction
The Principles of Destruction was born from Ben Seidman’s desire to create a routine so powerful that it would send every audience into pure chaos. This world-class performance piece never fails to blow away an audience. It takes them on a spectacular journey that continually escalates in impossibility before concluding with a brain-melting finale that will have them screaming. As you’ve come to expect from Ben, every aspect has been meticulously perfected to ensure your audience has no explanation for what they just witnessed.
