As we dug deeper into Martin Lewis's inheritance from his father, Eric C. Lewis, we uncovered more remarkable collections of treasures-far too valuable to be kept from the world.
In addition to several machine-typed proofs of published books Eric contributed to, we discovered more of his favorite Magic Effects, each explained in his signature style.
We also found reviews of magician performances dating back to the early 1900s, along with biographies-researched and compiled by Eric-on Oswald Williams and John Martin.
Among the gems were handwritten notes about magic routines so difficult to decipher that we had to rely on AI to transcribe the text and accurately recreate the accompanying sketches.
Other highlights include:
- Perfectly hand-drawn illustrations and detailed explanations of the Mechanics of Magic
- A collection of effects Eric titled A-Z
Bonus from Martin Lewis:
- An original essay titled The World of Wizards
- A complete stage act, The Magic Minister, co-created by Martin Lewis and Don Alan
"Eric made son Martin's magic available when he wrote and illustrated the book Martin's Miracles. Now Martin has returned the favor by making his father's fantastic private note books available to serious magicians everywhere. Eric would be thrilled, and so am I"-
