The
Mark Wilson Course in Magic
The Modern Classic
of Magic Instruction Introduce
a youngster to the exciting world of magic. Add to a library of a friend already
well qualified in the magical arts. Beginner or advanced, either will be
delighted to receive
THE MARK WILSON COURSE IN MAGIC.
A LIFETIME OF MAGIC
IN ONE VOLUME: THE MARK WILSON COURSE IN MAGIC is a thorough, home study
text of modern magic techniques, and their effective presentation. Here, you
will find everything from close-up, sleight of hand to illusions. More than 300
tricks, detailed step-by-step instructions.
Master illusionist Mark Wilson has compiled the
most comprehensive magic "teach-in" ever assembled. The secrets to more than 300
classic tricks-from sleight of hand to levitation-are carefully explained in
this 503-page volume.
It's all here: Card Magic, Coin Magic, Rope
Magic, Mental Magic, Make-at-Home Magic, Sponge Ball Magic, Billiard Ball Magic,
Cups and Balls Magic, and Magical Illusions. Mark Wilson devoted more than two
years of research, writing, and technical preparation to this book. More than
50,000 still photographs were taken of the detailed execution of the tricks
considered worthy to include in this course, and these photographs were edited
and converted into hundreds of simplified line drawings. The straightforward
text follows Mark Wilson's "step method" of magic instruction, the same method
he has used to teach magic to Tony Curtis, Telly Savalas, Bill Bixby, Dick Van
Dyke, Peter Faulk, Bernadette Peters, John Denver, and other professional
entertainers. It's thoroughness makes Mark Wilson's Complete Course In Magic
especially recommended for the beginner with absolutely no experience in magic.
At the same time, its scope and depth has earned this book a place in the
libraries of many of today's most accomplished magicians, professional and
amature alike!
Softbound, 503 8.5" by 11" pages.

Volume 3 and Aziz & Beyond
by P. Howard
Lyons At long last, the third and final volume of the
magic magazine that was so underground, it's just now coming up for air. From
1963-1979 Howard Lyons' Ibidem was so far ahead of the pack in innovative card
magic, we're still catching up to it. Reprinted in this jumbo volume are the
final eight issues plus an unpublished issue of material from “crazy” Tom
Ransom.
Tossed in for good
measure is Howard Lyons’ long-anticipated avant-garde magazine, Aziz, which
Howard had begun assembling a few years before his death with the intentions
that it would replace Ibidem. Unfortunately, Howard didn't live long enough to
get Aziz out, but the material collected for the first issue survived, and it
makes up the first section of Aziz & Beyond. Also included is additional
material by Howard and others, gathered from his files and other sources, which
might not have been included were it not for Max Maven having done such an
extraordinary job of unearthing, editing, interpreting and organizing this
material.
Ibidem 3 and Aziz
& Beyond contain contributions by: Howard Lyons, Mel Stover, Peter
Duffie, Allan Slaight, Ken Beale, Phil Goldstein, Robert E. Neale, Paul Swinford,
J.K. Hartman, Ron Wohl and many others. Over 140 pages of
unpublished material, 360 pages in total plus 12 in full
color. Hardbound.
