Library Research, Don’t miss out!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I have noticed that there have not been too many hits to the Library Research page in the magic library and I wanted to encourage users to take a look (if you have not allready) as we are creating an index of worth while tricks and methods found in the free books. For example some of you may recognize our latest finding, “The Phantom Artist” from Practical Mental Magic By Theodore Annemann pages 100-102. Here is an effect that has been improved upon and being sold today on DVD as a rep making street magic effect. So be sure to not neglect the Library Research page and be sure to email us your findings if you feel like sharing.
