In The Collected Works of Alex Elmsley, the magic of this extraordinary inventor is brought together for the first time. Gathered here are his published tricks and an equal number of previously unpublished items. Much of this material has been guarded jealously by the privileged of magic, and some of it has been kept a secret from everyone. All of it is innovative, astonishing and marvelously entertaining.Volume II contains the pageant of scintillating Elmsley magic. A remarkable collection of more than 103 exquisitely conceived, entertaining and unfathomable tricks, ranging from baffling predictions and feats of mind-reading to glittering coin magic and bewildering card mysteries. Many Elmsley classics are included, plus original flourishes, a chapter on tricks with the faro shuffle, and a detailed description of Elmsley's "Cardworks," a brilliant act that was one of Elmsley's crowning achievements.
512 pages.
Written by Stephen Minch and illustrated by Amado Narvaez.
