Al Koran's Professional Presentations
(Hugh Miller)
Al Koran's Professional Presentations is a magical classic and was first published in 1967 by Harry Stanley at the Unique Magic Studio. The original publication was marred by poor photographic reproduction so this new edition from Martin Breese has illustrations by Paul Griffin based on the original photographs.

Price ... £20.00

Al Koran's Legacy (Hugh Miller)
I have a few copies of this title available.  It is a large format, comb-bound volume containing some of Al’s greatest effects.  Amongst the material is Al Koran’s famous newspaper headline prediction: The Million Dollar Prediction and The Gold Medallion.  The Gold Medallion was first described and routined in Al’s Professional Presentations but now in this later title a simplified handling method is provided.  This is the balance of material that Koran used in his act on TV and in his stage act.

Price ... £27.50

Al Koran, The Magic of
The book contains 93 pages and takes virtually every Al Koran effect as performed on TV and analyses the effect and its method and then provides the exact words of patter as used by Al Koran. 

Only 100 copies have been released in this new printing so don't delay, place your order now to avoid disappointment. 

Price ... £22.50

Angel Card Rise plus (David Britland)
A booklet devoted to new, thread-less versions of the classic Rising Cards. In the title routine the cards are shuffled and cut, yet the chosen card always rises. There is a version of the Haunted Deck which fooled Ascanio. And lots more. 28 pages A5.

Applications (Peter Duffie)
The work produced by Peter Duffie is considered to have had a profound influence on card magic! In this handsome, large format hard-backed book, Peter explains over twenty excellent entertaining and practical new card routines and moves, all of which can be performed using an unfaked and normal deck. 60 pages, 25 illustrations.

Art of the Grafter (Walt Lees)
This book contains absolutely everything you need to know if you want to earn yourself a reasonable income by pitching or grafting and if you are prepared to work hard the sky is the limit. I had a tele­phone call some months later and I was told that the young man had saved the sum of £5.000 and had also managed to support himself selling magic directly from the information that Walt Lees made avail­able. And that was more than 20 years ago.

Bertam on Sleight of Hand (Ross Bertram)
If you were to epitomize the sleight of hand of Ross Bertram in one word, it would be natural. No phoney moves, no jerky motions, no changes in hands, eyes, or voice. In this, Bertram's second book, you will learn the true art of sleight of hand magic from one who can only be called an artist.

Best of Pentagram Card Magic
Fabulous collection of card magic culled from the pages of The Pentagram, including an excellent chapter by Graham Adams.

Read Between the Lines (Gazzo)
Gazzo's Read Between the Lines is a collection of over 500 one-liners that can be used for most situations that you will encounter performing at any venue. This is a collection of Gazzo's one-liners (some of them not for maiden aunts) as well as many from various other artists. Real performers will see the keen value in this collection. 

Bizarre (Tony 'Doc' Shiels)
87 pages of Psientific Pseudo Psi, Mountebankery, Monstrosities and Horrors. Weird tricks for the magickal story-teller.

Blindfold Enigma (Carroll K Priest)
For many years the real secret of X-Ray Vision was closely guarded by a handful of magicians. This book gives the full low-down on how to make and apply the blindfold, plus suggested tests and routines, including the famous Blindfold Car Drive. Originally sold as a highly-priced manuscript.

Book of Oopses (Chan Canasta)
This rare and almost impossible to find book is now available again and, at the moment, in a very limited run at £25 a copy post free. It is something that I am delighted to offer and the print quality is almost certainly an improvement on the original of the book.

Card Conspiracy, Vol.1 (Duffie/Robertson)
In this book you will find twin thoughts smoothly blended to produce an outstanding collection of card material. All types of card magic are covered in a subtle and elegant manner, and without the use of knuckle breaking sleights. I recommend this book highly-Roy Walton
 

Card Conspiracy, Vol.2 (Duffie/Robertson)
If you...love to play with new ideas, to work out new handlings, and to fiddle and fuss with the myriad of sleights that make up card magic, ...you're going to love Card Conspiracy 1...I know that purchasers of CC1 will be chomping at the bit waiting for the second one. - Mike Close.

Cardzones (Duffie and Sadowitz)
For those who have been looking for the first 5 books that Jerry Sadowitz and Peter Duffie published through Martin Breese - there is good news. All five books have been reprinted in one volume called CardZones.

Cards on the Table (Jerry Sadowitz)

Chan Canasta-A Remarkable Man, Volume 1
(David Britland)
This was the first book in the series and it caused a complete sensation. We sold out but our printers found several boxes that they had forgotten to deliver to us. So we are back in stock now. This book attracted a great deal of attention and many wonderful feature reviews.

Chan Canasta - A Remarkable Man, Volume 2 (David Britland)
This is the long-awaited follow up to the first book.  It is a quality soft back publication, perfect bound. It contains a lot of information that arrived too late for inclusion in the first volume.  We are grateful to all those who have helped us produce this trilogy of books on the Remarkable Chan Canasta.

Read the review

At long last this amazing book by Charles Cameron is available. Here are the secrets of his stunning Castle Dracula Show. Charles Cameron is well known as the father of modern Bizarre magic. And for years, in a specially-built theatre at the Edinburgh Wax Museum, he and his group produced an amazing show which included brilliant original effects.

Close-Up Framework (Lawrence Frame)
A small book that's big on entertainment. Clean, novel methods are used to produce effects that are clear and uncluttered. Taking as an example the first effect in the book, 'Spellbound Climax': you show a 2p coin and magically transform it into a 10p. After repeating this a couple of times you are surprised to find that the coin has changed into a button! Looking down, you discover that the coin is attached to your jacket where the button should be.

Close-Up to the Point (Peter Duffie)
This was Peter Duffie's first solo book published on the heels of his hugely successful Alternative Card Magic and Contemporary Card Magic. It includes mostly card routines with a couple of coin routines sprinkled in for good measure. The effects are not difficult to do and can be classified as easy to intermediate at the most. It is a joy if one can study the early creative output of one of the most accomplished card magician alive today.

Clue and Other Mysteries (Jack Yates)

The Harbin Book (Martin Breese)
The words are by Robert Harbin and the design and graphics and page layout are by my great friend Eric Mason who passed away a long time ago.  Many people who had Harbin collections were kind enough to allow us to use a number of Harbin photographs and items of ephemera and Eric did a wonderful job of putting the book together.  Zee and Chris Woodward were most helpful and lent us a lot of material such as original photographs and programmes and many other items relevant to Robert Harbin.
