25 RUBBER PENETRATION TRICKS by MAGIC-IAN
When the rubber penetration came into popularity several years ago, it represented something really new in magic. Here was a trick that was actually accomplished before it began, leaving onlookers baffled by a visible penetration of a coin through a sheet of solid rubber, with no clue whatever as to its accomplishment. So effective was this mystery that magicians themselves began wondering when further effects of this nature would be developed, if ever. They have been developed; and the time is now.
The very principle of the rubber penetration made it adaptable to new uses, provided someone gave them proper thought. By introducing new devices and applying existing gimmicks in special ways, a series of remarkable surprises came into being, practically all the work of one inventive mind. This book is the result. In it Ian Sutz has added one neat twist after another, even producing startling effects that go beyond the original concept, with intriguing variations that will keep spectators guessing all the more.
The basic penetration has even been applied to a balloon, creating a completely new effect: while the introduction of various articles such as keys, nails and other available items (seen and unseen) provide still more bewilderment. Coin balloonacy is sure to become a classic in itself and the accompanying items can readily be worked into effective routines. A great book for those of you that are interested in this area of magic.

HOUSE OF CARDS, THE LIFE and MAGIC of PAUL ROSINI by CHUCK ROMANO
Lovers of conjuring literature in 1997 were electrified by a luxurious 408-page, heavily illustrated volume fit for the most discriminating tastes in coffee-table-class books. A relatively unknown young Illinois magician and artist, Charles J. (Chuck) Romano, had authored a masterpiece entitled "The Art of Deception" Although priced in three figures, it quickly sold out, largely through word-of- mouth.
Now Chuck Romano returns, with an equally well researched, but less all-encompassing subject, the biography of a single star of the Golden Age of nightclub and hotel wizardry. Under the name "House of Cards, The Life & Magic of Paul Rosini," his new book unravels the mystery of who this uniquely endowed, but doomed performer really was.
He was born in Trieste, a city whose national identification has changed as the tides of war have flowed around it, creating human confusions. His family thus migrated to the U.S.A. Here he eventually stood on two pillars, one as a secondary partner in mind reading and magic acts, and the other as a lone performer of advanced magic with playing cards, Cups and Balls, coins and the Thumb Tie. Which would be his choice as a lifetime career? Almost in his thirties before he sorted it out for himself, he gave up being second banana to "psychics" and magicians, and achieved his singular own form of stardom.
This was written from a portion of the book, which was written by John Booth. We know that this handsome, hardbound approximately three hundred-page book will give you hours of pleasure

For the past 25 years, Simon Aronson has been one of the "inner circle' of Chicago's card session, centered around Ed Marlo. Aronson is an accomplished close-up performer, a renowned mentalist, and acknowledged as the creator of sophisticated, blockbuster card magic.
Aronson's special approach to card magic has been recognized and applauded by top flight magicians around the world: direct, clean and straightforward plots, combined with original, subtle and devilishly clever methods, to produce effects consistently in the "miracle class" category. Aronson proves that advanced, baffling and entertaining card magic does not have to be difficult -- subtleties, stacks, gaffs, mental skills and sleights are all artfully blended, to create top-quality, yet easy- to-perform effects.
The Aronson Approach includes a comprehensive, well-written, in-depth exploration of the principles and ideas underlying each effect, with variations, alternative applications, and lead-in and follow-up routines to expand your horizons. Aronson's detailed discussions will give you many hours of absorbing, thought-provoking reading.
The Aronson Approach includes entertaining poker deals, ace routines, matching miracles, impossible locations, mind reading with cards, and much more. Aronson also reveals Simon-Eyes, an exclusive manuscript presenting a revolutionary new, diabolically deceiving concept in mental card magic: two spectators each merely think of a card in an ordinary, shuffled deck, and the performer straightforwardly discerns and announces both cards! The book is hardbound and contains 173-pages.
