Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) revolutionized the art of magic with his incredible stage mysteries and lifelike automata, and he thankfully left a number of books recording his philosophy and techniques. In Essential Robert-Houdin, you'll find:

Card-Sharping Exposed:

Robert-Houdin's pioneering work on card handling, with dozens of card techniques and routines. The Secrets of Stage Conjuring: A dozen great stage pieces plus the inside techniques of Robert-Houdin's theatre and optical theories.

The most complete version of Robert-Houdin's wonderful autobiography ever published, with material previously omitted from earlier editions. You can now enjoy the complete work that Robert-Houdin envisioned.

Complete Works Of Derek Dingle Complete Works Of Derek Dingle

TIME magazine has called Derek Dingle, "...the greatest card manipulator extant," and from his television appearances with Tom Snyder, Dick Cavett, Barbara Walters, and Mike Douglas to his many contributions to Genii, Apocalypse, The pallbearer's Review, Epilogue and Innovations he has consistently proven TIME to be correct: there is no one else like Derek Dingle.

There are over 120 items with cards, coins, and cigarettes in The Complete Works Of Derek Dingle, his first book in over a decade, and it's really two books in one. While containing the 60 or so classic routines which have already appeared in print, most of which he has substantially improved (the originals unavailable in out-of-print magazines), it also has about 60 never before released sleights, effects, and routines. Among them:

Four Handlings of The Classic Pass

Deluxe Double Color-Changing Aces

Ultra Clean Slot Machine

Two-Fisted Deck Switch

World's Fastest Card Under Glass

Super Floating Card

Copper Silver Brass (The Silent Steal)

Post It!

Inflation

Complete Torn and Restored Card

A Case of Kings

The Restoration Assembly (as performed by Doug Henning on TV)

Every nuance of technique, every line of patter, every ingredient that makes Derek's magic so special is captured by Richard Kaufman, on of magic's most innovative writers and illustrators. With over 11,000 words of text and 800 illustrations the very essence of Dingle's magic is clearly taught as never before.

Lasting Effects by Kenton Knepper Lasting Effects by Kenton Knepper

"Performers love this book because the material is so easy and yet very, very commercial. Magic Dealers and Demo Guys love it because it makes miracles out of things already sitting on their shelves. Audiences love this material because it is amazing stuff! It's a win-win for everyone."

- John Stoddarman

"Friends kept prodding me to put these presentations into a book so they could performer these effects. They insisted that a great many people would want to perform these tricks and presentations if they were made available to others. I finally gave in. Hope you like these as much as my friends who demanded I do such a book at last"

- Kenton Knepper

This work contains novel and weird presentations as well as unusual effects many have been waiting for Kenton to release, such as Paul Stockman's Pendulum Curse which was a big hit at a recent Vegas convention.

NOTE: Not for those without a fundamental foundation in magic and mentalism. It is assumed you know certain basics of the magical arts in this material.

The book for those who wish to entertain.

Find out why Kenton's friends and peers insisted he put these effects and presentations into print for them at last!

LASTING EFFECTS will have a lasting effect on your audience as well as on your own thinking about even the basics of magic and mentalism.

Act Of Imagination by Enrique Enriquez and Kenton Knepper - Book  Act Of Imagination by Enrique Enriquez and Kenton Knepper - Book
"This Material Is So Fantastic - I Bought The Rights To It!

Only once before have I paid to write and publish someone else's ideas. The first time was some unknown performer at the time named 'Luke Jermay' and the book was the now-classic '7 Deceptions'.

This is only the second time I bought the rights to the material of someone else. That ought to tell you a great deal."

- Kenton Knepper

This is the inside, practical, real work of "Kentonism" and "Telepathy In Action" taken to new heights and performed with greater ease and comfort than ever before. If you like "Kentonism" or "Telepathy In Action", this is a MUST HAVE book.

What IS the Act of Imagination?

Do a full hypnosis type act without any hypnosis, stooges, trick props, or set-up.

People may think they have become furniture, see themselves without pants - any number of wild seemingly "hypnotic demonstrations" are performed without paid helpers or real hypnosis.

This is the full act just as Enrique Enriquez has performed it around the world, in theatres, living rooms, art museums and television. You get all the details of the act Enrique is performing to this day to gather fame and honor worldwide.

Psst! It's EASY. But it will take practice.

PLUS Enrique also tips for the first time his classic blindfold portrait effect with all the touches and details only he alone can tell. Draw accurate portraits of unseen people, even if you are not an artist!

AND Kenton tips his special duct tape blindfold designed for Enrique's act as well. Your head is down, eyes to the floor the entire time, duct tape all over your eyes and nose. No nose peek, no seeing through the blindfold either. REALLY. Of course there's a secret - and Kenton finally reveals it here for the first time here. Many have raved about this gem.

We know that once people read this work, the buzz will be all over the place, just as it was with 7 Deceptions. This book will change how we do Kentonism, TIA and hypnosis on stage forever.

It isn't easy to impress Kenton, and nearly impossible to get him to buy the rights to anyone else's work. Learn why Kenton spent a great deal of time and money to get this material into print. If he believes this much in the material, you can imagine how thrilled you are going to be!

Enrique Enriquez is a student of Kenton Knepper and has performed the world over with the material in this book. Now it can be yours
