Marlo Without Tears, By Racherbaumer, Jon, B271-1421
, NOW $30.00 |
Published by Korem, Published in 1983
First Edition Hardbound, Book measures 7.25 x 10.25
inches, 317 pages,
Edward Marlo is a phenomenon who has unquestionably
made an indelible mark in the world of magic. In the
past forty years he has published numerous
innovative and influential books, plus an impressive
number of articles for various magazines. The
Complete Marlo Bibliography is still incomplete, but
at last count there are over 1500 items, covering
3200 pages of text, and over 57 books! Over and
above this remarkable prolificacy is the consistent
superiority of the material itself. And all of it
chronicles his long, ardent, and fastidious love
affair with the pasteboards. Marlo Without Tears is
another fascinating chapter in the Marlovian quest
for the Real Work.
Jon Racherbaumer, in his own words, is "a
conscientious dilettante, who strives to discover
useful and lasting material and then translate it
into readable books and articles." He is the author
of eighteen books and manuscripts, including the
best-selling CARD FINESSE and THE ASCANIO SPREAD. He
is also the controversial and innovative publisher
of Hierophant, Kabbala, and Sticks & Stones,
magazines that continue to inform and stimulate the
cognoscenti. He has also contributed over 100 items
to various magic magazines.
Of Marlo he has said, "It's been my goal to infuse
my writings with the same kind of enthusiasm and
esprit evoked by Marlo's actual performances to
somehow show Marlo's marvelous thinking, while
giving a vicarious sense of life to the dead
reckoning of dry, technical prose."

Memory Book, The, By Lorayne, Harry & Lucas, Jerry,
B271-1428, NOW $6.00
SOLD |
Published by Stein & Day, Published in
1974 hardbound, Book measures 6.5 x 9.25 inches, 237
pages,
This is a book review of Harry Lorayne and Jerry
Lucas’ The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to
Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at
Play. I’ve written a review of the book because
having a good memory is important in speeches,
conversation subjects, and remembering people’s
name.
You forget a person’s name. You leave important
papers at work. You lock your keys in the car. You
have trouble studying for a test. You can’t remember
a speech so you have to read it. All of these are
common situations that you no longer have to
experience thanks to The Memory Book.
Co-author Harry Lorayne is a magician and card
specialist. His most notable card trick
involves accurately saying a complete deck of cards
in order. How does he do it? He is able to memorize
52 cards in their exact order. Freaky? Definitely
not once you read the powerful memory systems shared
in this book. Both co-authors have demonstrated
their unusual memory feats on television.
Harry Lorayne has performed on television shows by
reciting up to 500 names of audience members. One of
his most remarkable feats involves remembering
13,000 names and telephone numbers from the
Manhattan telephone book! I’m sure anyone can learn
from someone with that skill.
Having studied memory systems for decades, Harry has
developed efficient and effective memory techniques
that are applicable to our everyday lives so you no
longer have to kick yourself when forgetting
something. There is a specific technique in this
book for remembering people’s names, long digits
like telephone numbers, speeches, appointments,
foreign languages, sequences of information, and
many more common situations where a good memory is
useful and this includes eliminating absent
mindedness!
Other specific techniques taught and demonstrated in
the book are for speed reading, knowing the day of
any date within the current year, remembering music,
historical dates, and more. If the area you are
interested in for improving your memory is not
discussed, you’ll find the systems can be applied to
remembering almost anything. By practicing the
memory techniques a little and going through the
simple given exercises, you’ll have the ability to
remember almost anything within reason.
When co-author Jerry Lucas was a child, he developed
his own patterns of memory. During college he read
one of Harry Lorayne’s memory books and blended the techniques into his own; mixing and matching the
memory techniques where appropriate. At college he
was able to study one-quarter of the time that his
fellow students spent studying for an exam. Not only
was he able to study more efficiently, but it was
more effective because he received top grades.
Memory is certainly a case of being more productive,
efficient, and successful. The ones who practice the
hardest aren’t always the winners.
Later on in life, Jerry Lucas played professional
basketball for the New York Knicks. Around that time
he was able to meet up with Harry Lorayne for a
meeting that lasted a whopping 18 hours. A lot of
ideas in The Memory Book are from that meeting. At
the start of each chapter, parts of the dialog from
Jerry and Harry's meeting is included, which makes
for an interesting anecdote. For me, the funniest
part involved one of Jerry’s basketball teammates
who took off his long pants during warm up for a
basketball game. After taking them off, people
started laughing at him which made him realize he
was wearing absolutely nothing below! Maybe your
memory isn’t that bad, but the systems shared in
this book will definitely help you.
I’m not someone who regards himself as having a good
memory. Like many people, I think of myself to have
a poor memory. However, I started reading the book
and came across my first exercise in chapter two.
Each memory principle has a worked example so that
you can practice the technique and learn about it at
the same time. The book is filled with worked
examples for your benefit. I did the first exercise
and couldn’t believe it! I remembered 10 completely
random things in perfect order and was effortlessly
able to recall this list in perfect order the
following day. If that wasn’t enough, I could easily
recite the 10 things backwards!
I was able to do this by simply reading and
following the simple and step-by-step instructions
given. It was like discovering this hidden potential
within myself that I never knew about. Harry and
Jerry believe any person can improve their memory.
That means you!
The major memory systems used are linking and
phonetics, while others include peg words,
substitutes, and keywords. One downside to
phonetics, which is an integral part of most memory
techniques shared in The Memory Book, is the time
required to get started with the system. It needn’t
be a second nature process for you to benefit from
the system, though it probably should be for things
you don’t see on paper the things you don’t have
time to think about. However, it’s like an
investment where you put a little extra effort in at
the beginning to get a bigger return in the form of
quick memorization that sticks.
The book doesn’t go into much depth as to why we
remember, which may or may not be appealing to you.
However, you are able to learn why the techniques
work and at the same time you aren’t flooded with
information that isn’t very useful for your daily
living. The book is slightly smaller than the size
of my palm at a little over 200 pages. In it are a
lot of samples demonstrating the techniques making
it a good read.
Many of today’s memory books and memory courses are
based off of the powerful techniques shared in this
book as it is a must-read in the memory world.
Whether you want to memorize 52 cards in a row to
impress your friends or not, you’re bound to find
many useful applications of the memory systems.
By spending a few hours reading the book and
practicing the techniques, you’ll save yourself
countless hours of wasted productivity, frustration,
and annoyances of not remembering things. The
systems are reliable and you can count on them to
work. Time magazine has called it a never-fail
system

| Mr. Electric Unplugged
B151-1454 NOW $40.00 |
By Marvyn RoyMarvyn
Roy – Unplugged.
This book is unlike any of our previous history books. Instead
of digging through old newspapers and magazines and writing
about vaudeville theaters and music halls, this story is told by
the man who lived it. During the fifties, sixties, seventies and
eighties, there was not a more successful magical team than
Marvyn Roy and Carol. Their act, Mr. Electric, appeared at Radio
City Music Hall, the London Palladium, The Latin Quarter, Gorki
Park in Moscow, on the Ed Sullivan Show, The Hollywood Palace
and everywhere in between. Hotels, ice shows, floor shows, night
clubs, theatres, arenas and amusement parks, they did it all.
With their acclaimed light bulb act, and later as the Diamond
Illusionist, they traveled for years with the Liberace show. Now
Marvyn has put his entire magical life into book form. Beginning
with his early success as Marvyn the Silk Merchant and winning
awards as a teenager at the PCAM conventions, to the time he
spent working behind the counter at Floyd Thayer’s Studio, to
the development of his world famous act and subsequent climb to
the highest rung of the show business ladder. It is a story that
only Marvyn could tell and you will recognize many familiar
faces along the way. Anyone who ever dreamed of being a famous
magician, can now live that dream through the eyes and words of
Marvyn Roy.
Mr. Electric-Unplugged contains 300 pages featuring more than
150 photographs and is hardbound with a beautiful dust jacket.

pipe production.
How Right You Are-This is a complete 4 phase card

and smooth Svengali deck.
Al Koran Newspaper Tear -This is the original
version of the "flash restoration" torn and restored
newspaper that Gene Anderson later released and has

| Silks Supreme
B261-1478
NOW $3.00 |
|
by Keith Clark |
When it comes to routining magic, few have
ever done it better than Keith Clark. Silks Supreme is no
exception. Clark transforms the classic Sympathetic Silks
plot into an eight-phase masterpiece that will delight any
audience.
Here's what the audience sees...
The magician, after lighting his cigarette
with a paper “book” match, studies the match for a brief
moment -- then, carelessly flicking the match away, a yard
square silk appears at his fingertips! Surprised, he tosses
away the cigarette and attempts to tie a knot in the silk.
The first attempt fails; nothing daunted, he tries again --
and fails again. Gathering himself for a supreme effort, he
tries once more and succeeds, for a knot appears in the
center of the silk; his moment of triumph is brief however,
for the knot dissolves when he shakes the silk! Gravely
displaying the silk on both sides, he throws it over his
right fist as he mutters the magic words “squeegie
squeegie,” something is seen to materialize under the silk.
Excitedly he snatches the silk away -- and discovers the
index finger of his right hand, pointing toward his
forehead! He pulls the silk through his right hand, twirls
it into a loose rope while he patters about splitting it
along its fourth dimension, and forthwith takes from it a
second yard square silk identical with the one he has been
using!
He ties the two together, tosses them into
the air, and a contrasting yard square silk appears tied
between them! Untying the three, he counts them -- one, two,
three, FOUR, FIVE, SIX! But the count is greeted with a
laugh, for to the audience it is obvious that there are only
three silks. “Six!” persists the magician, as he holds up
the silks, appears to “split off” another bunch identical
with the bunch he holds, and slowly and fairly counts out
six silks!
He places three of the silks on a chair at
his right, then knots the other three together in a string
and places them on a chair at his left. The knots
mysteriously pass from one set of silks to the other, and
the audience fails in an attempt to guess where the knots
are, for they vanish entirely. Once again the silks are
counted and seen to be separate, but when they are tossed
into the air, they descend tied together by a single knot,
and the performer catches them, taking a bow. Smiling, he
strokes the silks with his hand, and from them removes a
second bunch of six silks of contrasting colors to the first
six! Counting these, he “splits off” another bunch of six
silks -- and counts again -- eighteen silks -- yard squares
-- produced from nowhere!
Surprise has been added to surprise; the
audience has been well entertained by a fast moving,
streamlined routine of magical effects climaxed by a most
amazing production of silks. There, in very truth, is the
kind of magic the idealists dream about, for it is produced
on a bare stage or in the middle of a night club floor; the
magician enters and with him comes surprise, color, a deft
touch of comedy, and a generous measure of mystification!

Look! Up in the sky. It's a Goshman. It's a Dingle.
NO, it's – SUPER MAGIC! This book is about a strange
being from the West Coast possessing miraculous
skills and incredible ideas. SUPER MAGIC. Able to
create innovative routines at a single bound. Faster
than a speeding billet. More powerful than a gross
of TV Magic Cards. And who, disguised as Paul
Harris, a mild mannered close-up worker, continues
to fight a never-ending battle for better effects,
stronger presentations, and the American magician's
way of life.
SUPER MAGIC is one of Paul Harris' greatest books on
close-up magic. It features such super routines as:
The Ultimate Rip-off, Las Vegas Split, Hi Ho Silver,
The Torn Restored Coin, The Ace Trap, The Library
Card, etc.

| Trade Shows An Inside
Insight B151-1453 NOW $8.00 |
compiled by Francis MarshallFind
out if trade shows are for you! Except for
Television specials, no aspect of professional magic
is as rewarding as Trade Show work. The big
traveling illusion shows have huge expenses, and a
tendency to use up the territory. The individual
Trade Show magician can go on forever--witness Eddie
Tullock--as long as he keeps getting better and
better and attracts continuous important clients. We
don't really suggest that every magician try to be a
Trade Show performer. We do suggest that every
magician owes it to himself to know as much as he
can about all ways to make a living out of the magic
he does. For a few dollars Trade Shows gives you a
view of this kind of work you can get in no other
way. Experts have helped to put this book
together--people who know Trade Show work forward
and backward. The information in it is a must if you
seriously intend to approach this field. And if you
haven't the slightest intention of becoming a trade
show performer--you will still marvel at the inside
insights of trade show work now in print. It makes
great conversation material, and puts you in an
advisory position with fellow magicians. Trade Show
work is demanding, exciting, rewarding, reputation
building, educational, inspirational, and
contributory to personal growth. Contents of Trade
Shows: Dick Stoner at Work, Dear Abbey, How Much Do
I Charge For a Trade Show?, Trade Shows Now and

magician: As a performer, a magician can be called
upon to put together a sales meeting, a small
promotion, a local trade show, or iny other
commercial venture in his own town. Be ready for
such a call. The material in Trade Shows is just as
valid on a small scale as it is for the big
exhibitions. Study this book and be ready to speak
with confidence and know how to speak to companies
who might contact you.
