Canadian Stewart James was the most prolific inventor of magic in the twentieth century. Where most magicians invent a handful of magic routines during the course of their life, Stewart James created over one thousand. His prodigious output has been recorded in two mammoth publications totally over 2,700 pages. James' vast body of work has now been distilled to 50 of his "greatest tricks", The Essential Stewart James.

Guy's book, Drawing Room Deceptions contains all of his best original card material, including routines from his lectures, videos and television performances, as well as a full description of his torn and restored card The Reformation. Although the material is of a variety of levels of difficulty, with some virtually self-working ideas, it does presume a certain amount of previous experience, so it is more suitable for amateur and professional magicians than those wishing to try magic for the first time.

Milton Kort is a legend of sorts: a magician who has rarely traveled outside the Detroit area, a magician who seldom performs at magicians conventions or lectures, yet a man whom the professionals and greats in magic came to see. Paul Rosini, Dr. Daley, J. B. Bobo, Charlie Miller, Cardini, Dai Vernon and many more sought out Milt Kort and shared secrets with him.

Martin's Miracles has been one of our most consistent sellers for fifteen years and the reason for that is simple: Cardiographic. On Page 67, Martin Lewis describes an effect wherein a deck of cards is drawn on a large sketch pad and a drawing of a selected card rises up out of this cartoon. The page upon which this miracle has occurred is torn out and handed to the spectator. This trick has appeared on every show from your local magic club's to David Copperfield's TV special.

Martin Lewis started out as the resident magician at San Francisco's famous Magic Cellar and then graduated to revue shows in Las Vegas and Reno and finally cruise ships. The many close-up, platform and stage effects that were honed to perfection in these demanding venues have been collected together in Martin's Miracles. Succeeding in all of these areas requires an extraordinary amount of commercial material. His jumbo monte routine (Sidewalk Shuffle, Page 95) is another modern classic. Today, hundreds of full-time pros around the world are performing this knock-your-socks-off material.

Written and illustrated by Martin's Masters Fellowship winning father Eric Lewis and with a curious introduction written by Harry Anderson.
