MARKED FOR LIFE by KIRK CHARLES
Most magicians, at some time, buy a marked deck. And after a few
hours the cards are most often put into the back of a drawer and forgotten. What
a waste!
The marked deck is an extraordinarily strong tool for the magician. Not just a
prop good for a trick or two-the marked deck, as long-time professional Kirk
Charles shows in this book, is a means for improving countless tricks in your
repertoire, and a way to protect yourself in every performance from accidents
and oversights.
Marked for Life, like no book before it, considers the marked deck as a utility
tool with a multitude of benefits to offer the card magician. And unlike many
texts that have come before, Marked for Life does not focus on a single type of
marked deck. Instead, it examines the many possibilities and uses to which any
marked deck can be put.
Marked for Life provides an informative overview of the many types of marked
cards available-tricks with them-subtleties that completely disguise their
use-applications for a variety of helpful purposes-and a lengthy bibliography
that leads the reader to further information and uses for marked decks.
If you don't presently use a marked deck, this book will guide you in finding
the right one for your needs. And if you already have a marked deck, Marked for
Life will get it out of that drawer and into your act. You will not believe the
stunning effects possible with a marked deck until you read this book. The book
contains one-hundred pages and is in paperback form.
ITEM # BK1068 PRICE $12.00
Stanley Burns was considered to be one of the leading professional ventriloquists and magicians. He was the first to develop a radio controlled, remotely operated ventriloquial puppet. His Dr. Lichi, a wizened fellow name after the nut, was the very first one, made in the late 1950's. While providing the ventriloquial voice live, Stanley operated it, moving the mouth and having it turn all by himself in full view of the audience, without assistants, and no one realized he did it solo.
The combination of his experiences, impressive collection and dedicated research, formed the basis for his college lectures and served as the foundation for his comprehensive, entertaining, story of ventriloquism which he shares in Other Voices-Ventriloquism from B. C. to T. V. This book shows how ventriloquism went from "antique art to antic art."
