Dear All,
Often overlooked, but brilliant! Hard to read, but brilliant. I can't offer a source to read/buy as I have a commercial interest...but they (two books) are among my favourite 'early' (1950) self-working card books; some concepts pre-dating Marlo! I first read them, as a teenager, some 30 years ago. One of the tricks (no plug) I still use! Does anyone else like/love these books? Cheers, Paul Gordon |

I have many Eddie Joseph books, not sure about these. I started getting into his magic after witnessing "Premonition", Sheer genius..I also really like Staggered.

This is an interesting book - In it, is an effect that Norman Gilbreath said was one of the tricks that led him to discovering his wonderful principle... Check out 'Just Unbelievable' - very curious...

If enough folks ask, I'll reprint THE COMPLETE DUMBFOUNDERS. Now, it's NOT easy to read (Eddie wasn't a great writer), but the tricks are BRILLIANT.

Here is..."A Sort of Spell" by Eddie Joseph, can be found on page 8 of Aldo Colombini Impromptu card magic book {first one}.
Always nice to see the pages come alive. Hope you like Eddies trick. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k0MCFvBJaiQ Steve. |
