Ed Marlo was one of the most prolific writers and creators of sleight-of-hand card magic. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 78. Since that time there have been many reprints and repackaging of his many booklets, articles, and magazines.

This new book by his longtime friends Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelly features their favorite Marlo routines with some of the unpublished ideas that he shared with them. You will also read first accounts, profiles, and stories from Marlo’s friends, Randy, Kevin, and Bill Malone.

►Ed Marlo Forty Years Later:

Forty years ago, Ed Marlo made a stunning, memorable return to the stage in St. Louis, presenting his first lecture in thirty-five years. In concert with the 40th anniversary of that event, Kevin Kelly and Randy Wakeman carefully documented their favorite and most effective Marlo and Marlo-inspired routines and sleights, and published them in a new hardcover book.

Written completely from scratch by two people that intimately knew and studied under Ed Marlo — for more than fifteen years. You’ll find thirty-four complete routines, more than thirty-five sleights, moves, and subtleties.

This is the first fresh look at Ed Marlo and his stunning card magic in over four decades. Ed Marlo 40 Years Later contains stories and information that you will not find anywhere else.

►FOR EVERYTHING ED MARLO GO: HERE

Just received another shipment of these excellent coin routines. In stock now are the deluxe Stainless-Steel editions as well as the Aluminum and plastic versions.

►Infinity Chalice:

This is a terrific routine that combines many principles into one cohesive routine that is easy to follow and easy to perform.

You begin by showing a unique looking double-ended chalice and four coins. The four coins are placed into the top of the chalice and one-at-a-time they seem to penetrate the top of the chalice and magically work their way to the bottom in the cleanest and most direct way possible.

►BACK IN STOCK:

Received another batch of these Tenyo made rope routines. It is my favorite rope routine that I currently perform in all my shows. If you want to see me do my version live, you can catch me at the Mohegan Sun Casino on 1/18 or at Blue Eyes in Hoboken on 2/13.

►Four Nightmares DX:

This is a beautiful rope routine created by Mr. Suzuki that uses a special set of gaffed ropes. With these ropes and very little effort you will be able to present a routine that you will carry with you for both stage and close-up performances.

This edition features five phases where two unequal ropes stretch to the same size, they are tied together and merge into one rope, a knot is tied in the center and visually slid off, another larger knot is formed and slid off to form a loop, as a finale the loop and rope meld together into one rope.

►eBay Auctions:

If getting an autographed book makes it special, would a book having two autographs make it twice as valuable? Expiring on Sunday is the first edition, first printing of the Derek Dingle book that is autographed by both Derek and Richard Kaufman. Take a look.

“Ed Marlo noted long ago that a tabled slip cut is a false cut that displaces only one card.”
