Hidden Gems 6 by Mark Elsdon

HIDDEN GEMS 6

Mandatory reading for all smart magicians - researched by yours truly.

 

Further secret excerpts from my notebooks, listing 100 fabulous tricks that have caught my eye over the years.

This new Volume uncovers fantastic material from Swain, Hilford, Evans, Wagner, Duffie, Fleischman, Richardson, Sisti, Kurtz (of course!), Voodini, Regal, Tucker, Cornelius, Blomberg, Elmsley, Bornstein, Mason, Givan, Hansford, Chandaue and dozens of others.

I also tip one of the best card tricks you'll ever do, killer openers for stand-up and mentalism shows, my favourite thing I've bought this year and the best two impromptu tricks which nobody is doing.

These are tricks that define the very concept of 'hidden in print'. In each entry I list the trick, where you can find it, why I love it and why YOU should look it up. I always describe the effect, occasionally the presentation, but NEVER the method.

 

Most are in books that you already own (or should!), some are in magazines that you can easily get access to and the odd one or two entries will send you on a major SHM/MagicWeek/eBay hunt. Happy days!

 

There is a mixture of card, coin and close-up magic, as well as plenty of mentalism, stand-up and cabaret material.

 

If you are on the lookout for great tricks that no one else is doing (and who isn't?!) then you will find a ton of them in this eBook.
