From November 2006 through October 2007 Wesley James-one of the last of the under-ground legends of magic-wrote, edited and released 12 issues of an e-zine containing some of the most sophisticated close-up magic in the history of magic periodicals, all described in Wesley's inimitably detailed style.

Originally released at $10 per issue, $100 to subscribers, the entire contents of the e-zine have now been re-typeset for easy reading and compiled into one PDF volume at a significantly reduced price.

More than 250 fully illustrated pages, plus a complete index and extensive table of contents. More than a dozen contributors, including a complete Sol Stone issue, 60 plus effects and sleights with cards, coins and other objects, plus essays and tutorials.

Some of the material in this volume is technically demanding, some is easy, but self-working magic is a myth. All magic must be well presented to play powerfully with real world audiences and that requires practice and rehearsal. However, all the material in this volume is practical and fully explained. It is intended for the serious student of close-up magic.
