Dai Vernon print by Annabel De Vetten

OK – here’s something quite different for a change. A nice piece of art on your wall can really bring a bit of class to your magic den! Dai Vernon is one of the greatest modern exponents of close up and especially card magic. This is a limited edition print by Annabel De Vetten. If Dai Vernon isn’t your thing, she has done various other designs, including the legendary Cardini, Eugene Burger, and some prints from the Jill Deck. Unframed cost – £40.00

Extractor Gold Edition
Rob Bromley/Peter Nardi’s Extractor caused quite a stir when it came out a few years ago – a brilliant device to secretly retrieve a card from a boxed deck without the need for sleight of hand. Well the new edition has been improved, comes with extra routines and also shows you how to adapt it to a different (poker sized) deck design – so you don’t have to stick to the Bicycle deck if you don’t want to. £50.00

I’ve not read it yet, but if it is as good as the reviews, it is a bargain at £27.50 The Crazy Man's Deck I like to highlight the bargains when I see them, and this is Sean Taylor’s take on the Invisible Deck routine. It is a very funny presentation and is more or less self-working, and at the moment is only £7.64. Strong Magic by Darwin Ortiz - Book I make no excuses for including two books this week, but this one is not about secrets of tricks, but the secrets of performing. I have just finished reading this and it is an incredible insight into the mind of Darwin Ortiz, who is known for his own success in the card magic world. Here he helps you understand what goes into making magic effective, and analytically breaks down every element of the performance of close-up magic. A stimulating and rewarding read. £29.99. ]]> http://www.bicycle-cards.co.uk/2008/07/01/trick-of-the-month-july-2008/feed/ 0
