The Darkest Corners by Ben Hart

England’s Ben Hart has burst onto the scene with an impressive finals-showing on Britain’s Got Talent, sold-out theater tours across the UK, and a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Now he has released his debut collection of original magic, The Darkest Corners. The book is filled with creativity and wisdom, earned from hundreds of performances.

You’ll learn Hart’s signature piece, in which a signed silk appears in a peach. You’ll learn a trick with a real Venus Flytrap, and the best lottery prediction we’ve ever encountered. You’ll learn several effects you can perform… over the radio. And you’ll learn how to make an egg appear from a scrap of paper.

More than the tricks, there is real knowledge in this book tucked away in essays and personal statements. Ben gives advice on how to structure and develop a stage show, and how to use camera projection not only to present magic in a large theater, but to take advantage of the blind spots you choose not to film.

Ryan Plunkett – Distilled 2020

Distilled (Ryan Plunkett) - magic

Ryan Plunkett’s Distilled is a handsome, 200-page volume of practical and professional material, plucked straight from his working repertoire. Like a fine whiskey, this collection of ten routines was distilled and refined slowly and carefully, over time.

Ryan Plunkett, a founding ensemble member and resident magician at the famous Chicago Magic Lounge, performs this material every night for sold-out audiences. He teaches clever and intriguing versions of classics like card-through-handkerchief (“Paper and Silk”) and his version of ACAAN (“Any Card at Our Numbers.”) Then there are more unusual plots, like “Fan Mail,” in which a free selection matches a card found in a piece of fan mail, and “Gravity Deck,” a strange vanish of a pack of cards wherein the spectator actually feels the weight of the deck diminish.

Patrick Page – The big book of magic

ZOOMentalism - Mark Elsdon - Vanishing Inc. Magic shop

They are powerful enough for any professional Zoom magic show, while also being practical and direct enough to perform casually in a video call with friends and family.

The best part about the material in this e-book is that every effect has been carefully structured for maximum audience participation. No more awkward moments where one person watches a magic trick and everyone else checks their phone or tunes out. Most of the effects have multiple, or even all, the audience members involved.

Unknown Mentalist Rasik Deck

Rasik Deck by Unknown Mentalist : Lybrary.com

A Shocked Duchess became Si Stebbins’ Karma (Destiny). If Si Stebbins would have learnt the Karma Deck this would have been the result. The Rasik Deck is the surprising result of applying the Karma Deck principle to the age old Si Stebbins stack. And added to this is a novel method of using existing suit systems to create a random suit sequence. So the final end result is a fabulously refreshing stack with many rich possibilities and multiple potential. This is flexible enough to either fit well in your existing Karma Deck bouquet or stand out as a fully independent stack by itself. The word Rasik has its origin in the ancient Sanskrit language. It means “connoisseur”. And, in the true tradition of the Karma Deck, this too is a deck for the ‘connoisseur’ of stack magic.
