At long last the difficult task of reprinting the entire Spell-Binder Magazine has been completed. In the three volumes there are over 700 pages of close up magazine edited by Stephen Tucker. Over 50 contributors provided effects and there are a total of 354 effects within the three volumes.

The list of contributors is overwhelming with the very best of the close up workers from around providing brilliant material which editor Stephen Tucker badgered them into contributing. David Britland alone contributed 40 items, there were 6 new effects from Basil Horwitz, 4 from Jerry Sadowitz, 2 from Gazzo, 5 from Gordon Bruce, 3 from Roy Walton,. To continue the list: 9 from Phil Goldstein, 12 from Reinhard Muller, 5 from Al Smith 2 from Bobby Bernard, 4 from Harvey Rosenthal, 7 from Ian Land, 12 from Paul Brignal, 7 from Peter Duffie, 6 from Roger Curzon, 6 from Shiv Duggal, 7 from Wayne Dobson and 109 from Stephen Tucker.

Spell-Binder Magazine was one of the most radical and different close up magazines of the 1980's and it was illustrated throughout by Stephen Tucker and along with Pabular was considered to be an important contribution to the art of close up magic in Britain. The magazine was produced mainly during the period when Stephen Tucker and David Britland worked at the Magic Lounge which was a studio I ran in London for several years. The full story of the Magic Lounge and Spell-Binder magazine as told in my introduction to the magazine can be found HERE CLICK HERE.

The Spell-Binder magazine has been scanned from the original issues most of which are now unobtainable. Many of the pages were tidied up where text was difficult to read and the three volumes have been digitally printed on good quality paper by one of the leading digital printers in the country. The price is £16.25 per volume or £43.00 for the three volumes if ordered together. Please make your selection from below.
