Marlo's Magazines By Ed Marlo ( Ebooks & Video , Instant Download )
If you know anything about card magic, you know the name Ed Marlo. One of the most prolific creators in the history of our art, Marlo’s influence is undeniable. If you have performed a card trick, you are likely performing something that Marlo’s influence has touched.
His Marlo’s Magazines is a series of six large hardback books that represent the very best of his card magic, spanning over 2,000 pages. We have worked tirelessly to reproduce these legendary publications in a gorgeous new slipcase edition.
During the 1970s and 80s, Marlo grew tired of other magic publishers taking a long time to release his work, and so he embarked on the most ambitious project of his career: a series of six self-published “magazines” containing his very best work. He jokingly called them magazines, but they were actually books, each containing between 325 and 500 pages. The material features in-depth examinations of techniques such as card-to-pocket, the Punch Deal, Marlo’s Convincing Control, and effects like Ace Assemblies and Oil and Water. But that’s just the start — each magazine is filled with at least 200 moves, techniques, and effects. It’s where techniques like the Snap Change, Olram’s Jinx Switch, Unit Upjog Control, and more were first published, but that’s just the start — the scope of these books is so wide that every time you open them, you’ll be introduced to something new.
Due to their scarcity and the exceptional quality of the magic within them, these books have been hoarded, whispered about, and sought after for decades. Every volume of the original release was hand-numbered by Marlo, and only 300 of each were ever printed. Signed first editions now command $350+ on the collectors’ market, and with fewer sets remaining in fine condition each year, values have risen steadily.
we believe that magic should be studied and not hoarded. Every book has been thoroughly edited (and corrected with notes from Marlo’s personal copies of the originals), all of the thousands of illustrations have been digitally remastered, and every page has been redesigned to showcase Marlo’s brilliance and to make the material easier to study than ever before. This is the definitive edition. Nothing else comes close.
After years in the making and with the kind support of Lee Freed (who was entrusted with the rights to the magazines), these books are now finally available, beautifully reproduced, carefully edited, and designed to be studied. What’s more, they’re available at less than the cost of just one of the six first editions. These Marlo’s Magazines are not just magic books. They are a lifetime of study. A legacy. And your next great adventure in card magic.
