PERSONAL MAGIC, THE SECRET BOOKS OF ERIC LEWIS, VOLUME 2 (420 pages)
Ah, the labour of love that is this four-volume masterpiece! Each one is a treasure trove of magic, distilled from a lifetime of wizardry (and probably a few mishaps along the way). Unique? You bet! Typewritten by the illustrious recipient of the A.M.A. Literary Fellowship and the genius behind over 26 magic tomes. These beauties are sprinkled with hand-drawn watercolour artwork and illustrations, all snugly bound in library covers. Only a select few have had the pleasure of seeing them, and trust us, it’s going to stay that way. Each volume? One of a kind, folks.
Now, let’s talk about what’s inside. We’ve managed to keep the original vibe intact (thank goodness for that!).
The 359 pages of this gem hold 97 effects spanning close-up, stage, mentalism, children’s magic, and more. These aren’t just any old tricks; we’ve pulled from written instructions, watched performances, and good old-fashioned word of mouth. You’ll find the cherished ideas of legends like Annemann, Stanley Collins, Paul Curry, Cy Endfield, Robert Harbin, R.W. Hull, Stewart James, Jordan, Milton Kort, Ed Marlo, Clayton Rawson, Harlan Tarbell, Edward Victor, and a whole lot more (seriously, it’s like a who's who of magic).
"Eric made son Martin's magic available when he wrote and illustrated the book Martin's Miracles. Now Martin has returned the favour by making his father's fantastic private notebooks available to serious magicians everywhere. Eric would be thrilled, and so am I" - Mike Caveney
