ARCADE DREAMS by JON RACHERBAUMER
Ed Marlo without cards? There is not a single card trick in this book. While Ed Marlo was famous for his ingenious creations with cards, he also devoted a great deal of creativity to magic with other objects including coins, bills, cups and balls, silks, mentalism, dice, linking pins, sponge balls, chop cup and more.
These effects have been scattered throughout magazines and small periodicals for many years. Now, Jon Racherbaumer has collected sixty-seven effects and routines, some never before published, into a huge volume of what some expert's consider to be Marlo's greatest achievement. Over 350 illustrations by Joseph K. Schmidt make the learning easy. This hardbound book contains 100 pages.

SANKEY PANKY by RICHARD KAUFMAN
SANKEY PANKY is a kind of close-up magic that'll knock your socks off. It's ingenious, it's startling, it's innovative, and it's all the creation of Jay Sankey. Written and illustrated with pictures that seem to move in the style for which he is world famous, Richard Kaufman once again brings you the very best close-up magic being created today.
Just how clever is Jay San- key? Suppose you could magically toss a deck of cards inside a balloon and pluck the signed selection from within? Presume you could devilishly cause the date on a borrowed signed quarter to jump back thirty years, ten years at a time? Imagine if you could viciously tear up two signed cards and instantly restore them without any preparation, extra pieces, gimmicks, or switches? Think if you could visibly cause four widely separated coins to skittle across the table in full view as if possessed and assemble without cover of any kind? Would it be fun if you could proudly introduce the audience to an invisible companion who performs Brainwave without gaffed cards? Envision if you could secretly invite the audience to join you in solving a murder mystery where the only CLUE is a deck of cards and a dead King? What if you could philosophically prove that Descartes does a great four-coin production even though he's been dead hundreds of years? Think that you could devastatingly pluck a coin through the back of a spectator's hand to prove why they're so tightfisted in Italy? Imagine if you could ingeniously forge a spectator's signature and give him a lesson in grand larceny he'll never forget? What if you could hilariously demonstrate that some small change just doesn't want to get spent? Suppose you could sheepishly lose control of your Cups and Balls routine and end up producing sixteen balls and a fourth cup? Wow! What if you could absolutely devastate an audience with the thirty-seven effects and routines in this book?
If the answers to the above questions in only partially yes then wouldn't you buy this book in a second?
