Table Hopper's Friend Back in Production!

This item has been unavailable for quite some time, but I'm having a run made and I'm currently taking orders. This is an incredible utility item of the highest quality, at an even lower new price! You'll find it on the "Other Items" page.

New!

I've added a number of new items to the site recently: "Great Scott’s Ambitious Card Routine" and "Great Scott's Oil & Water Routines" are two new ebooks on the Card Magic page. On that same page you will find "Dark Thoughts", an ebook containing 7 routines utilizing Jean Boucher's Dark Card gimmick (you can buy The Dark Card on the Other Items page), and "Quicker than the Eye", my card to purse routine (with which I won a close-up competition back in '96). Purchasers are saying that they are really enjoying performing the material from these ebooks.

On the Coin Magic page you will find three new items: "Two Sides of the Same Coin" has 3 routines using gaffed coins; "Twilight Passage" and "Silverdusted" are the first two installments of my "Sit-Down Coin Magic" series. These are both getting great reviews.

Recently Released

Not Your Ordinary Card Tricks has 13 card effects with either unique plots or unexpected twists on standard plots. Some great material at a great price.

A Little Something has all new material (except for one routine, but that has some really cool new additions). Like all my books, it's profusely photo-illustrated. It contains close up magic with cards and coins as well as some parlor/platform stuff. And it contains four wonderful routines by the legendary Ray Grismer--worth the asking price on their own! There is very easy stuff and more advanced stuff--"a little something" for everyone! It's getting some really good reviews.Go to the "Books" page" for this release.

Guinn Gone Mental is, in a sense, volume 4 of the "My Best to You" series. It contains mentalism & mental magic routines; nine from my out of print books and 4 new routines that have not been published previously. It's also on the "Books" page.

Marked for Death is a new book on a simple but effective (and CHEAP!) marked deck. In addition to instructions on how to make the deck (very quick and easy), it contains FOURTEEN KILLER routines with the deck. I've been holding much of this back for over a decade. I guarantee you'll fool those not familiar with the system.

Also recently released is my new three-volume series of books called My Best to You. Volume 1 has fifteen of my best card stuff from my out of print books, while Volume 2 contains a baker's dozen of my best coin routines. Volume 3 contains some of my best non-card/non-coin close-up stuff as well as some of my strongest material for parlor and platform shows (again, from my early, out of print books). Check them out on the books page.
