This book is an advantageous, helpful collection of Marlo's last three lecture notes. They were originally distributed at his St. Louis, Las Vegas, and Niagara Falls lectures in the 80's to those fortunate enough to be there. There were only a limited number printed and they immediately became "collector's items."
This three-book combination is a robust, impressive work that takes you, step-by-step, into a world rarely opened to the average magician. If you appreciate advanced, fully-finessed sleights, you'll love the Anchored Add On; Filmed Chicago Switch; Marlo's Spring Double Pass; The Arbil Change and the Revised Marnese Bottom Deal. If you like rock 'em - sock 'em routines, you'll love The Sick Cannibals; The Money Sandwich; Female; I Knew That and Olram's Updated Collins. If you're a novice, don't be afraid of Marlo. Beginners can learn and immediately perform tricks like I Knew That and Houdini & Bess. You'll also be inspired to practice and improve in order to reach the next level of proficiency. When you reach it, you'll have the right book on your shelf to consult and enjoy for years to come.
If you're a collector, hobbyist, browser, or working magician, you'll love learning the trick Paul Gertner uses in trade-shows - the same one that delighted Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. You'll also be tempted to perform the only version of the Psychological Stop trick that's sure fire. You'll want to learn a version of Brother Hamman's Signed Card that fools magicians. You'll be eager to perform an impromptu classic that would have thrilled Hofzinser. Act now. This is a book for everyone who values superior card magic and impassioned thinking. These are some of the classified secrets of a legend in magic.
Jon Racherbaumer says, "Marlo would have liked this book. It perpetuates the Work. It scatters new seeds and might inspire other creative geniuses."
