It is one of the finest resources for this type of material I've ever seen, and is a bargain at the price.\u003cbr\u003eI could probably just stop here; at this point you pretty much know everything you need to know to make an intelligent purchasing decision, but I'll fill in a few more details.\u003cbr\u003eSixty effects are explained in Making Magic; thirty-seven are stand-up routines. If you've ever tried to put together a stand-up show, you quickly realize there is a dearth of great stand-up material. This is why so many performers use the same routines. In Martin's book you'll find fresh approaches to some classic plots (for example, Playing with Your Food, Martin's take on the Mental Epic effect). Yes, you'll have to spend a little time (and\/or money) to construct the props, but if you do so, you'll have some great routines not many others are performing.\u003cbr\u003eFinally, there are some great stories. Martin was fortunate to have been on the West Coast during the golden years of the Magic Castle; his reminiscences of those times are scattered throughout the book. In particular, the stories of Vernon and the pool table, Lou Derman and the greatest card trick ever performed, and Harry Anderson and the animal trap are personal favorites.\u003cbr\u003eSo here's the bottom line: if you do stand-up magic (whether or not you're a do-it-yourselfer) you need this book. If you're looking for close-up magic that won't bust your chops, you need this book. Or if you're just interested in seeing how one of magic's premier creators designs his miracles, you need this book. For what you get, the price is ridiculously low. Making Magic is one of the best magic books I've ever read. Buy it; you won't regret it.

Guileless grist for his magical mill.\u003cbr\u003eIn Making Magic, Mr. Lewis teaches 60 of his best magic creations culled from his lectures, magazine contributions, videos, marketed tricks, and notebooks. Most of the effects employ small props and are designed to be performed in a parlor or stage setting. Thankfully, the author includes some cunning close-up material as well. Mr. Lewis rewrote all of the previously published material to bring it up to date.\u003cbr\u003eThe author writes well, is impishly funny and does a fine job of teaching his material. He provides appropriate attribution. Mr. Lewis intersperses the effects with ripping yarns from his life in magic. The illustrations are fetching and nicely complement the text.\u003cbr\u003eTo perform an entertaining show, Mr. Lewis rates personality as the most important factor, followed by presentation, effect, and finally method. For that reason, most of the effects include his presentation or engaging script.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is beautifully designed and produced. Mr. Lewis includes a CD containing dozens of files of attractive artwork and clear plans needed for the construction of the props. Yes, I said construction of the props.\u003cbr\u003eThe book's title is literal. To perform most of the effects in this book, you must make the magic props. Now, don't start whining or stop reading! Apart from a few props that require special material and professional construction, the construction of the props isn't difficult. You don't need special skills. You do need to follow Mr. Lewis's clear directions carefully.\u003cbr\u003eThe materials consist of card stock, wood or plastic. You don't need many tools other than a ruler, X-Acto knife, screwdriver, and hammer. You'll be surprised by how quickly and easily you'll create a magic prop that looks either very attractive or blandly normal.\u003cbr\u003eI like or love most of the material in Making Magic. Here are some of my favorite effects.\u003cbr\u003e\"Threesome\" is Mr. Lewis's eye-popping version of Robert Harbin's \"Card in Bottle.\" The performer displays three small, clear bottles. Three audience members each select a card. The performer seals the cards in an envelope which is initialed. A selection visibly appears in each bottle. The performer tears up the envelope, proving that the three cards are gone.\u003cbr\u003e\"Coupons\" is a torn and restored effect using a page of coupons from a newspaper. Mr. Lewis's clever method allows you to end clean and immediately hand out the restored page.\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Human Brain Vivisection,\" the performer invites a participant on stage and kills him by plunging two daggers into his head. The sobbing, babbling performer is dragged off stage. This is my new kid show closer!\u003cbr\u003eMr. Lewis teaches you how to birth his baby, \"Cardiographic.\" \"Cardiographic Lite\" is even better. It's a smaller version of the original, featuring a quicker, easier reset. In \"Crystal Gazing,\" the performer displays a deck of jumbo cards to a participant. She looks away while the audience selects one of the cards. The performer displays a crystal ball. The participant gazes into it and slowly divines the identity of the card. Ricky Jay was so smitten with Mr. Lewis's \"One Hand Spin and Catch\" that he included it in Cards as Weapons. I've performed this fab flourish since I bought the book when I was 17. The author teaches how to make giant cards and perform his exquisite \"Sidewalk Shuffle.\" In \"Strongbox\" a participant calls off the last three serial numbers of her dollar bill and signs it. The performer places the bill into a handkerchief, which is held by the participant. She is given a steel cash box, with a combination lock to hold in her other hand. Her bill vanishes from the handkerchief. The last three numbers of her bill are the combination that opens the cash box. Inside, she finds a Bill Tube. She opens it and discovers her signed bill.\u003cbr\u003e\"Golf\" is an Egg Bag routine performed with a golf ball. For the kicker, the performer removes a golf club from the small bag. Mr. Lewis's design for creating \"The Tarbell Bag\" is better than the instructions published in the Tarbell Course in Magic.\u003cbr\u003e\"Undivided\" is Mr. Lewis's beautiful torn and restored cigarette paper. David Copperfield liked it enough to feature it on one of his TV specials.\u003cbr\u003e\"Close-up Cardiographic\" measures three by five inches, employs a different propulsion system than its grandpappy, and features the quick reset feature.\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Magician's Poker,\" \"Triumph\" breeds with \"McDonald's Aces\" and their offspring is this strong, commercial poker routine.\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Teletop,\" a participant freely selects an ESP symbol and places it aside without looking at it. The performer introduces a small, wooden spinning top, and a board decorated with ESP symbols. He spins the top on the board. The top circles the board and comes to rest on the selected symbol.\u003cbr\u003e\"Sidewalk Shuffle Straight\" employs three duplicate, poker-size Aces and a blank-face card.\u003cbr\u003eMartin Lewis is a creative treasure and this is a wonderful book. Performing an effect with a prop that you've created with your own hands provides an added feeling of satisfaction that you cannot otherwise experience. That sublime sensation more than justifies the one-time effort needed to build the prop. So seize this opportunity to become a Martha Stewart of magic, a DIY diva of deception! Buy the book, wield your tools, and start Making Magic.\u003cbr\u003eHighly Recommended.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Frame\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Genii Magazine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44667564654749,"sku":"mmbook","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/2108\/3549\/files\/2_eea6992c-c186-4f6c-b282-fa4daa55af58.png?v=1712745254"},{"product_id":"the-business-card-compendium","title":"The Business Card Compendium","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis moment has been in the works for over thirty-five years!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeveral months ago, I decided it was time to finish off what has easily been the biggest, most involved and most complex project I have ever attempted.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGiacomo went back to the roots of coin magic, embraced them and pushed them to new heights.

From venturing to the Osaka Castle with Richard Turner to spending countless late nights soaking up the invaluable wisdom of Juan Tamariz during impromptu jams in his garden, Ben has never wavered in his attempts to capture the elusive beast known as an ideal magical effect. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Elusive Illusive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e offers more than 200 pages of professional routines that Ben has refined in front of real audiences. In total, there are 12 one-of-a-kind pieces that are equally magical and entertaining, as well as several original techniques-including one of the most convincing full-deck false shuffles you'll ever see. Ben also shares three insightful essays that discuss the value of thinking like a layperson, his views on the classic force, and the importance of revisiting old material. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNothing in this book is conceptual. These are real-world routines and techniques that Ben uses in his professional work both for private clients, as well as a weekly show he's been a part of for years.

The spectators even get to count the cards themselves. \"Uncommon Sense\", is also the perfect example of Ben's creativity.

Like \"One-Track Mind\", where your spectator becomes a card-tracking master that finds a named four-of-a-kind after just a quick glance at a shuffled deck, or \"Triumph for Two\", a race between you and a spectator to see who can more quickly sort cards that have been shuffled face up into face down by the audience. After instantly unmixing the cards with magic, and winning the race, you leave them stunned by magically making the leftover mess of cards they have in their hands sort itself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Elusive Illusive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an inspiring read that is bound to fuel your curiosity.

By offering something special from producing the CEO or producing the product can make a huge difference in your fee and getting the job over others. Some illusions are easier to make than others, and the production of the motorbike would take a professional builder to make. There are also illusions that could be used for team building or where the CEO wants to get a point across with his staff. There is also a routine combining snowstorm with the production of a jewellery launch. As well as the illusions JC also shares his thoughts on how to approach and the role of the corporate magician\/illusionist. The main focus on the illusions is either the production of a product or an illusion based around the CEO. The real value of this book is showing how to incorporate magic and illusions with the companies theme or logo. JC offers some great advice and the book shows how the use of magic in a corporate event is an extension of entertainment in marketing. He also makes the great point that to be successful in the corporate field you need to have a wide technical knowledge across all genres of magic - and this is what takes years and years of study and work to achieve.

This chapter deals with preventing and creating the perfect performance situation so these will never happen to you again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapter Two - Subtle Creating the Perfect Situation: In this chapter you will learn how in the first two minutes to make a perfect impression for the rest of your show, equivoque subtleties, plus you will learn two amazing principles where you will appear to know intimate details about complete strangers. Why do psychological subtleties work for some performers but not for others? Banachek talks in this chapter about how conviction is the key. This chapter also includes how to use politically correct statements in your performance to influence your volunteer's thoughts and a wonderful pseudo explanation to your audience of how you can made them think of a specific vegetable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapter Three - Subtle Verbal: This is all about verbal \"dual reality\" and how to be both right and wrong at the same time. It is also how to phrase something so it is understood differently by your volunteer than by the audience. A couple effects from this chapter include \"Picture Perfect\" wherein a spectator is able to describe the color of a shirt, the color of the eyes, the time on a clock and the name of an individual in a picture without ever having seen it. \"Ultimate Imagination\" is a coin visualization routine wherein the performer is able to tell a spectator which invisible coin they are thinking of and which hand holds the coin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapter Four - Subtle Drawings: Drawn from Banachek's professional repertoire, this chapter reveals one of his favorite ploys: the Cheshire Cat Principle. In this effect you know how a spectator is drawing a picture in their mind and also the fact that they left out a major detail in their drawing. Among other effects and principles in this chapter, you will learn a multiple picture duplication, another picture duplication using nothing but psychological subtleties, and a routine where the performer predicts a picture drawn by a spectator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapter Five - Subtle Letters: This chapter revisits Banachek's principle where spectators mix up letters in a word and think of one and you know what it is. The first two effects take this principle to a new level by allowing you to not only know the letter, but also animals, places, people, and other specific things that reside in the spectator's minds.

The performer correctly identifies the dates that three spectators are thinking of and concludes with a startling revelation of a fourth spectator's thought. This was originally sold for $20.00 as Kenton's Kalendar. Also included in this chapter are two different methods for revealing the day of the week in a calendar year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapter Eight - Subtle Psychokinesis: When it comes to metal bending, it is imperative that the audience sees the participant feeling the psychokinesis (PK) happening.

We also take an in depth visit to the \"Gray Elephant in Denmark\" principle and give it new clothing.

He is full of fun and joy and Magic needs more people like him. I'm a big fan of his work too. His magic is whimsical and playful, without ever being childish and inconsequential (which can sometimes be the case with magic using sweets, lollipops, and the like).So I was very excited to see he has released a book. It contains 40 tricks, covering close-up, cards, coins, finger rings, eggs (chocolate and dairy!), mentalism and stand-up. The material is a weird and wonderful mix of Harri's clever, unique take on some standard plots and effects and some of his innovative creations which push the boundaries in new and attention-grabbing directions. All of it has the feel of material that has been thoroughly audience tested.\u003cbr\u003eThere is a LOT of fantastic material in this book, and I could easily list at least a dozen tricks that caught my eye and I want to perform.
