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.

FISM was the wildest, most incredible magic convention I have ever seen. I spent the convention watching, and getting fooled by the most incredible array of magicians Ive ever imagined. And I spent the rest of the time doing card tricks from The Paper Engine for people. I love helping people soften their card work it helps them to really affect people with their magic. - Aaron Fisher
