Miracles flowed from his fingertips - effortlessly. The source of his secrets? The underworld and the gamblers, husters and con-men that roamed back-room dens of iniquity, bunked in jail cells and walked the streets of America. Vernon sought them out, befriended them, and made their work, their covert methods, his. This book, the first in-depth examination of Vernon's life, traces the first half of his remarkable journey - through Ottawa, Coney Island, Chicago, Manhattan, Kansas City and Colorado Springs - and the celebrities - Houdini, Billy Rose, and Roosevelt, that Vernon encountered along the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDai Vernon: A Biography also details the evolution of magic in the 20th century. From the stages of London and Paris to the back rooms of magic emporiums where secrets were bought and sold, Vernon's life and work escort the reader through vaudeville, Broadway theaters, grand magic spectaculars, New York nightspots and the dawn of television.

Not only is he a fantastic magician and member of the prestigious \"Flicking Fingers,\" but he is also a successful stand-up comedian in his native Germany. We are incredibly excited to release his first full-length book in English: \u003cb\u003eEvidence of a Well Spent Life\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Guy Hollingworth writes in the foreword, there are lots of books on card magic, but very few of them focus on longer, structured routines the way \u003cb\u003eEvidence of a Well Spent Life\u003c\/b\u003e does. You will discover entertaining and deceptive card routines that weave multiple effects into a single, coherent performance piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach routine has a theatrical structure, with each moment building on the others to a powerful and memorable climax. For example, in \"Better Safe than Sorry 3\", three cards are found despite the deck being secured with rubber bands. The effect is then repeated, under test conditions, and the final card appears folded into quarters inside a sealed plastic box secured with rubber bands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelge's structuring also makes the routines more deceptive. In \"Eight Ahead!\", Helge takes the One Ahead principle to the extreme and gets miles ahead of the audience. Four signed cards are lost and found in a variety of ways before transforming into Aces. The selections are then found in four impossible locations: sandwiched between two cards, in the card case, in your wallet, and in a matchbox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with the incredible routines, Helge has also included original sleights that are perfect for stand-up, close-up, or even strolling performers (many of them have an accompanying QR code to show you what they look like) and several essays to improve your magic. You will get real insights from Helge on using humor for deception, adapting card magic for stand-up, and how to construct your magic. (His essay on how to treat spectators should be a must-read for every serious performer.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book also includes Helge's work on creating signed duplicate cards. Not only will you learn Helge's work on the method, but he teaches you multiple applications, including a killer Brainwave, an impossible Torn and Restored, and one of the strongest and most fooling Traveler's routines we have ever seen. Each copy of the book includes eight special cards to get you started performing these routines right away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are interested in performing card magic on the stage, playing around with signed duplicates, or are just looking for card magic with a great structure, \u003cb\u003eEvidence of a Well Spent Life\u003c\/b\u003e is the perfect book to add to your shelf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull Table of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword- Guy Hollingworth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction - Helge Thun\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 1: Single Cards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstant Camera Card\u003cbr\u003eBulkoki Reloaded\u003cbr\u003eHumor as Deception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 2: Technique\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAction Fan Palm\u003cbr\u003eThe Bent Cop Transfer\u003cbr\u003eCard in Mathbox - Three Loading Methods\u003cbr\u003eHands up!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 3: Beauty of Complexity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetter Safe than Sorry 3\u003cbr\u003eStrangers or Friends?\u003cbr\u003eThe Flying Four\u003cbr\u003eEight Ahead!\u003cbr\u003ePockets Full of Presents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 4: The Duplicate Principle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Signatures\u003cbr\u003e4 Card Brainwave\u003cbr\u003eFree Choice\u003cbr\u003eCornererd\u003cbr\u003eRound the Corner\u003cbr\u003eFilling the Gap\u003cbr\u003eThe Cloth of Death\u003cbr\u003eDuplicate Travelers\u003cbr\u003eBoxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter 5: Encore\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClear Voyage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy's Magic Supplies, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42253889994807,"sku":"79705","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/4666\/4759\/files\/79705-full.png?v=1780342452"},{"product_id":"wzrd","title":"WZRD by Leandro Morgado","description":"\u003cvideo class=\"mms_prod_video\" width=\"100%\" poster=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagicsupplies.com\/images_trailerStartup\/79041-video1-preview.png\" controls=\"controls\" preload=\"metadata\"\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/www.murphysmagicsupplies.com\/video\/clips_mp4fs\/79041-video1.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e Your browser does not support the video tag.\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"mms_prod_desc\"\u003eThere are plenty of books that explain how magic works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are fewer that concern themselves with what magic is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWZRD\u003c\/b\u003e belongs to the latter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we had to summarize it in one word, \u003cb\u003eWZRD\u003c\/b\u003e is a book about mystery - not as a problem to be solved, but as something to be handled with care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we could use more words, then we'd say that it's a book about secrets, silence, satire, and sorcery.

You'll learn about John Henry Anderson and Robert-Houdin, who preceded the golden age of magic, and what's particularly fascinating here is that you can see, literally, as the technology and art evolve, from broadsides of almost all types, to some wood etchings, to bursts of color in the stone lithographs we all know and love.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor us, the real joy in \u003cb\u003eThe Art of Magic\u003c\/b\u003e is in the unsung heroes we've never heard of.

You'll even see a beautiful advertisement for a magician whose claim to fame is...eating rocks! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'll learn about Carlincourt, a traveling magician who Abraham Lincoln hired to spy on Confederate Troops during the Civil War. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it isn't all people. Ken has an outstanding collection of hilarious animal broadsides, boasting about learned pigs, learned geese, learned dogs, and learned horses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen Trombly provides the commentary for each image. He tells brief histories of each performer, how he acquired the piece, and often why the piece speaks to him as a collector. It's a deeply personal accounting of one collector's journey in our craft. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the profusion of amazing full color stone lithographs-a number of which have never been published before, anywhere-the book also includes equally rare ephemera-from sheet music featuring magicians to a one-of-a-kind Houdini documents and photos.

The Art of Revealing is exactly that, how to reveal the information, we have gained from our participants in new, interesting and dynamic ways. He uses copious examples of how we can go beyond the 'turn around a pad of paper' reveal...way beyond... and create fascinating, visual and engaging reveals that will connect with our audiences and bring a whole new dimension to our performances.

One that hasn't happened before and sets the magic and mentalism world on fire. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn other cases, it's a concept. While this may or may not be in terms of effect, it inevitably has something to do with the method. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes it's an effect wherein the effect-to-method ratio is so beyond all reason that its popularity among performers is almost automatic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn still other cases, it can be as simple as a premise that grabs the magic world's imagination and just won't let go. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are numerous other reasons to go with these. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI won't speculate specifically why the subject of today's announcement has both met and exceeded all of the above scenarios. Still, there's no question that, if ever there was a 'classic' in the world of mentalism, this is it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, if every mentalist were to put out a 'top ten' effects list - from literally every effect in all of mentalism - THIS effect would be number one on the vast majority of lists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeedless to say, when it comes to mentalism, this is a very important subject. The premise itself dates back well before the magic and mentalism world became aware of it. The underlying concept dates back nearly one hundred years before the mentalism world had ever even heard of it. At least one performer was known to be doing some form of the piece at least fifty years before the mentalism world at large knew anything about it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs of this writing, that makes the overall existence of this idea and premise nearly one hundred and ninety years old. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first publication of this piece was deemed one of the top one hundred events in all of magic during the entire twentieth century. That publication was comprised entirely of one sheet of paper, and yet it was one of the most important events in all of magic during that one-hundred-year period. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is with great pleasure and pride that I announce the publication of the most extensive and comprehensive work on what is perhaps the single most important mentalism effect ever published. There isn't another book like this in the entire literature of mentalism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis effect has frequently been described as 'the single greatest effect in all of mentalism.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now, for the first time, there is a collection - a MASSIVE collection - dealing entirely with that one incredible effect! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen trying to decide on a name for this ground-breaking publication, one thought kept coming to mind.

That one page sent ripples through the mentalism world that continue unabated to this day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom that day to this, virtually every notable mentalist, from the other side of town to the other side of the planet, has performed some version of this incredible plot. Succinctly put, pseudo-psychometry is an act wherein the performer is able to deduce elements of an audience member, including aspects of their personality and life, as well as their identity, solely through contact with an object that has been in their possession. This process is known as 'psychometry' - sensing vibrations of an individual through an object or other means associated with that person. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are a ton of directions that this premise has taken over the decades, and they are all explored in depth in the pages of The Greatest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHere are the statistics \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 200 entries \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 chapters \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e440 pages \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 420 references in bibliography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003ePlus, there is a mountain of tools, techniques, and methods throughout the book.

Karl Edler is considered the godfather of micro-magic. His contributions to the art of magic have been hidden far too long.

There are so many more effects that have never been credited to this wonderful, private inventor but they are now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, you will be allowed to enter the mind of this creative genius.
