Wonderful Routines Of Magic-Second Addendum by Ellison PolandWhat you’ve got here is a delightful mishmash of magic from some rather talented folks. Expect to find effects involving playing cards, coins, and a sprinkle of mental magic (because why not?).
This hardbound gem comes dressed in a vibrant dust jacket, measuring a neat 6" by 9", and spans 200 pages of pure magic madness. The second addendum brings you a whopping fifty-seven items, with a cheeky twenty authored by good old Ellison. You’ve also got contributions from the likes of Aaron Black, Tony Econ, Peter Duffie, Steve Hook, Gene Maze, Harry Milliken, Charles Pecor, Steve Pressley, Dan Tong, and Gary Ward. It’s all about close-up magic, folks. And yes, the Second Addendum is indexed (thank heavens for that).
Most of the effects are card and coin based – obviously! There are a couple of straight-up mental effects, and a few card tricks that can easily be dressed up as mental feats (because who doesn’t love a bit of dramatic flair?).
When "
Psychic Pulse" was showcased to a gaggle of magicians on the way back from a convention, they were practically begging him to sell it separately. Worth the price of admission, apparently (that’s high praise, my friend).
If you’re up for some serious card magic, the combination of
"Slough-off Control" and
"Slough-off Mathematics" is thought to bring something fresh to the table. Pair those up with John Quine's take on
"Quine's Keeper", and you’re in for a treat.
- Printed in 1994, this Second Addendum clocks in at 191 pages! First editions, folks!
- Well illustrated and packed with 58 items!
- Close-up magic is the main dish here!
