The Card Classics of Ken Krenzel

Card Classics of Ken Krenzel - Harry Lorayne

I dare to say that this is one if the most underestimated books on card magic.

For people that consider themselves “move-monkeys”, the dinner has been served. There are many sleights in this book, including some really odd ones such as a bottom deal done at the fingertips and a “Tilt” move executed from the front.

My favorite item in this book has the most awesome title ever; “Two-Card Fan Lift Switch, Reversal, Palm”. It’s exactly that: a two card, fan lift switch, a reversal and a palm. It sounds nuts, because it is nuts.

There is also a great amount of routines utilizing the sleights taught in the book. Amongst variations of classic plots, you will find several original to Mr. Krenzel. For example, one interesting routine in the book is a Collectors routine done backwards: three selections vanish from in between the aces, instead of the other way around!

Drawing Room Deceptions by Guy Hollingworth

Drawing Room Deceptions - Guy Hollingworth - Vanishing Inc. Magic shop

Drawing Room Deceptions did not become the publisher’s fastest selling book ever just by chance. It was the direct result of a series of specific events. The first ingredient was a young English schoolboy willing to invest a full decade of his young life in the study and practice of close-up card magic. He was not satisfied to mimic the tricks of others so he created a repertoire that was totally original. Along the way, he developed a distinct performing style that was gentlemanly yet steeped in sophisticated humor. Following graduation from university, Guy spent a couple of years traveling around the world performing and lecturing for club meetings and convention audiences. Add to this, television appearances around the world such as The World’s Greatest Magic in America. This exposure to thousands of magicians established Guy’s reputation for possessing impeccable skill along with an arsenal of original material. And one miracle that stood out among all others was his not-to-be-believed, piece-by-piece card restoration, now known to the magic world at large as The Reformation. The final piece of the puzzle was putting all of this knowledge into a single book, Drawing Room Deceptions. The added fact that this entire book was written, illustrated and designed by young Mr. Hollingworth simply makes this story that much more amazing.
