Peter Duffie has collected magic from some of Scotland's greatest magicians, and the rumor that Scots are greedy do not show in these pages. It seems as though some of the best magic is being shared in this book, and I am really happy to own it. It's a considerably thin book (126 pages), but the mat...
Apart from being a magician, David Regal makes his living as a writer for TV series. He is an expert in his field, and this really shows through in his magic. Regal's presentations are original, captivating and funny. He's also a natural when it comes to structuring the magic to maximize the effect....
This book has a somewhat historic value to me, since it not only goes over the workings of sleights and effects, but also covers the history and various handlings. Richard Kaufman also has a small essay on what has become generally known as the Convincing Control, discussing the move's history and i...
This is the Dai Vernon book to rule them all. Dai Vernon was the most influential magician of the twentieth century. His vision helped to define and raise the artistry of close-up magic to a degree unequalled by any other magician then or today. His thinking pushed magic into the modern era. His con...
This book has received so much praise, and here is some more: I'll be honest and say that there wasn't one routine in this book I couldn't see myself using.

David Acer is both hilarious, and a great writer. This combination makes for an easy read. There are 59 magic items in the book, and this excludes all sleights that are taught within the routines. That's right; a massive load of magic! Acer is a commercial, comedy magician. I was a bit afraid that t...
I often hear Steranko's name mentioned in magic literature, and up until a few years ago, I thought it was some old legend from the 14th century. Turns out it is a contemporary comic book-illustrator that just happens to be a fantastic magician too. This book contains a description of the Lateral Pa...
I dare to say that this is one if the most underestimated books on card magic. For people that consider themselves move-monkeys, the dinner has been served. There are many sleights in this book, including some really odd ones such as a bottom deal done at the fingertips and a Tilt move executed from...
Josh Jay’s transcendent creations with the overlap gaff threatens to make all sorts of card stuff obsolete. This is probably a good thing. Paul Harris Overlap contains many great effects. Card men will have no trouble finding several miracles in Josh’s new book to fool one and all.Gary Plants You ge...
You know that Vanishing Inc. Magic only carries the cool stuff. This is the cool stuff. But it certainly isn't suitable for everyone. PRISN is quite possible the funniest set of books available in magic. Consider them a parody of the Max Maven Prism books and take them with a pinch of salt. If you'r...
