The Magic of Karl Edler - Godfather of Micro-Magic.
Now, let’s talk about a name that might not ring a bell for many across the pond—Karl Edler. But over in Europe, particularly in Austria and Germany, they know him well. This chap is the undisputed godfather of micro-magic, and frankly, it’s high time his genius got the spotlight it deserves. Olaf Guthling, our German wizard of research, has poured countless hours into unearthing the life and genius of Edler, resulting in a brilliant book in German that George Robinson Jr. has translated with flair, adding a treasure trove of photos and insights that you won’t find in the original.
Get ready to dive into the mind of a creative powerhouse who’s given magic more than a few gems. Ever heard of the first mummy effect, Mummien? Yep, that’s Edler’s brainchild—kick-starting the mummy craze that swept the magic world. And those Mummien sets? Collectible gold!
And let’s not forget about that spinning propeller toy we all love to use. Millions of Whirligigs have twirled their way into magic acts everywhere, yet poor Karl never got a nod for inventing it. What’s the deal with the Mystery Clock? There are a ton of effects that this brilliant, yet underappreciated inventor has left uncredited, but not anymore!
This is your golden ticket to explore the mind of this creative genius. You’ll discover effects created by Karl, whose legacy was lost in the sands of time—until now!
The book is bursting with vibrant colour photos of effects inspired by his original creations. Many of his tricks are explained for the first time ever. You’ll experience Edler’s life laid out chronologically, correcting history and giving Karl his rightful place among the magic inventors of our time.
