M.I.N.T #1 by Ed Marlo is the inaugural entry in a two-part collection showcasing the genius of card wizardry that is Ed Marlo (seriously, if you don’t know him, where have you been?). This particular gem compiles Marlo's contributions to the New TOPS magazine between 1963 and 1968—53 robust tricks, sleights, and subtleties, many of which have become must-haves in any magician's repertoire (yes, you heard that right).
While Marlo's name is tossed around like confetti by the crème de la crème of magicians, his out-of-print works have been as elusive as a decent cup of tea in a dodgy café. Thanks to this reprint, you can finally snag these incredible collections and dive into Marlo's fascinating stash of mind-boggling techniques and engaging tricks that will have your audience wondering if you’ve sold your soul to the magic devil.
M.I.N.T #1 spans a whopping 365 pages, featuring 53 of Marlo's finest offerings, covering an extensive array of ideas, techniques, utility moves, visual sleights, and fully realised tricks. And just to sweeten the deal, it’s chock-full of over 300 detailed line drawings—because who doesn’t love a good illustration?
Marlo's creative exploration of magic is second to none, and M.I.N.T is an unmissable glimpse into his profoundly influential mind. (Trust us, you don’t want to miss this.)
