Written by Joshua Jay, 180 pages, 60 tricks, published by Vanishing Inc. Magic
Can't wait for this one to come out.

Perhaps Josh can tell us more about it's contents?

This is going to be good!!!!

Eric, I know you are right because Rune's magic is great! And he and Josh are buddies since way back so the combine effort HAS to be nothing but good...

Rune is amazing, hilarious, and a great thinker. With another great thinker and writer like Josh teaming up with him on the book, I have no doubt that it will be a stellar release.

Is there a date for this release yet?

I think only Josh can answear that question Rev.

"Rune's World is now at the printers!

I'm very, very excited about the book. It will have two sections: close-up magic and parlor material. The close-up magic section will look like other magic books you have seen...clear illustrations and descriptions, and a focus on his manipulative magic. The STAGE stuff is crazy, and so is that part of the book! It's written like a comic book so you can "see" the visual gags as they happen...ALL crazy drawings.

AND, it will come with a DVD of Rune's stage show highlights, translated for the first time in English (and some hidden easter eggs).

I have spent a part of every day of my life for the last three years working on this book. I'm very excited for it to come out!

Josh "

I love everything released by Vanishing Inc. Magic, and I believe Rune's World will become my top favourite!

Wow, any chance we'll see it at WMS? Rune's stuff is great.

I have sent a PM to Josh asking for release date, prize, and pre-orders.
But so far no answear...

For those of you who have seen any of my comic book publications (Triangle, Heptagon+ and the newest released Square) know the quality of the comic book art that's in Rune's new book! The artist is good friend Jesse Rubenfeld who was hired to work on Rune's World!

I'm looking forward to this release!

I'm really looking forward to this!

I bought 3 pieces of silver MANY years ago (his style has changed a bit since then) and I have used one of the routines ever since.

From Vanising Inc. Magic: Pre-order

"Rune's World is a departure from any magic book you’ve read. Part instruction, part theory, part graphic novel, this new volume by Joshua Jay will challenge you to think in new ways, about new possibilities with your magic.

Rune Klan is the most famous magician you’ve never heard of.

An extremist in nearly every way, Rune is a walking contradiction: among magicians he has gained an international reputation as a guru of coins. Yet Rune has achieved celebrity status in his native Denmark exclusively for stand-up comedy magic.

Rune Klan is the rarest kind of magician: he is an artist working without restrictions and with little compromise. His only concern is the end result. This is the thematic element that connects Rune’s boisterous stage magic with his refined close-up. Whether his objective is to transfer a coin stack from hand to hand (Rune goes through the cracks between each finger) or how to tear and restore a porno magazine (Rune tears a bikini-clad girl’s picture to pieces, removes a real bra from the packet, and restores the pages to show the same girl nude), all of Rune’s effects have been streamlined with the effect in mind. His effects range from standard to bizarre to illegal, but the effect is always paramount to the method. Every trick has Rune’s stamp on it.

Rune’s World explores both the close-up and parlor magic that makes Mr. Klan such a dynamic force. Part magic book and part graphic novel, this is an innovative 180-page collection unlike any other in both form and content.

Rune's World is 55 dollars plus shipping, and it comes with a FREE companion DVD (subtitled performances, interviews in English, and some tricks performed and explained that are NOT in the book). This is a huge value. Printed on low-gloss paper.

For fun, we printed a dustjacket for the book that will ONLY be available to our customers. You will not see this cover often, and we have very limited supplies. When you preorder, you are guaranteed to get the limited edition dustjacket.

We're pleased to inform you that ALL preorder copies will be signed by Rune Klan and Joshua Jay."

Rune was on the Joshua Jay "Tricks" DVDS and was so funny and talented. His coin work is incredible.

I forgot to tell the book is planned for release the 14th this month ...

Thanks Peo!!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know I talked to Josh and the book RUNES WORLD
ships next week. I was lucky enough to proofread this book, and have
known Rune almost as long as Josh has. Rune is, in my opinion, one of
the finest coin magicians in the world, and this book is different
than any other magic book you have seen. What I respect most about
Josh as a writer is that he tailors each book to its creator. Those of
you that read my book know that it was also a different kind of magic
book. Well, this book is SOOOO Rune. He hit it spot on, and the comic
book section in the back (that's the stand-up stuff) is KILLER. I
laughed out loud a bunch of times. Gonna be a VERY talked-about book.

I can't wait for mine to arrive and finally have it in printed form. I
guess it also comes with a DVD of Rune teaching some stuff not covered
in the book, which is pretty cool. I'll post more when it arrives.

Anywhere we can see some of Rune's coin performances on the web (preferably coin performances taught in this book)?

I watched the clip of Rune's stage show here:

Even though it isn't in English, I can't stop laughing. His cups and balls routine is incredible!
