Are the James Swain books back in print? I just received an email from Tannen's Magic advertising both 21st Century Card Magic and Miracles with Cards by James Swain. They're both great books on card magic. I need to get these back in my library!

It's great to see these books back in print.

They are 100%, absolutely back in stock. I was just in Tannen's the other day talking with Dave about them. In fact, I'm heading over there in about an hour once they open to pick them up.

Its a good thing that they are back in stock because the have KILLER material in them. Im a big fan of Mr Swain.

If you appriciate his magic you should also get his DVD's from L&L Publishing as well.
I truley enjoyed them.

How much crossover is their between the two books and his 4 DVD set from L&L?

Actually John there are THREE books

DON'T BLINK: The Magic of James Swain (1992)
Miracles With Cards (1996)
21st Century Card Magic (1999)

And to answear your question; Hardly nothing.

Thanks Peo. I actually have Don't Blink somewhere in the house. Thank you for the info, that helps a lot.

I have all three books and they are full of impossible card magic.
Very streamlined and direct handlings of classics with the unique swayne touch.
Any serious card worker will love them.

I have all three plus the 4 DVD set.

Very little crossover.

Wish he had put all that material in a book though.

Also wish he had re-released his earlier videos on DVD.

Swains earlier VHS set, Miracles with cards had lots of material from the same named book, but the new L&L set was allmost completely material that is not in the books.
