  • The Collected Works Of Alex Elmsley Vol. 1 by Stephen Minch
In The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley, the magic of this extraordinary inventor is brought together for the first time. Gathered here are his published tricks and an equal number of previously unpublished items. Much of this material has been guarded jealously by the privileged of magic, and some of it has been kept a secret from everyone. All of it is innovative, astonishing and marvelously entertaining.This first volume of a two-volume set contains over 110 original Elmsley tricks and sleights, plus a ground-breaking essay by Mr. Elmsley on presentation, psychology and misdirection. Within the pages of this big book lie some of the most exquisite and mind-boggling magic ever conceived, all thoroughly explained in 424 pages and 314 clear illustrations.

Written by Stephen Minch and illustrated by Amado Narvaez.
