What are some of your favorite magic related books and why?
I will start off the list:
Revelation - Dai Vernon (Not Revelations)
This book is annotated extremely well, and it has many fantastic technician-friendly, mechanical, physical, and diabolical hand strains. Not to mention, the book is quite beautiful. I would recommend this book to anyone for the material obviously, but also for the history.
H & R Magic Books
Expert at the Card Table
Too vintage and outdated? Possibly to some, which is sad.
H & R Magic Books
Ron Bauer's Private Studies Series
First of all, I would just like to point out that Ron's work is the most thought out, scripted, and well developed that any other magician's work that I have read or seen. Ron's booklets are designed to make you a better performer and thinker. Do not judge a booklet by its cover.
Purchase Performance Scripts
Secrets of Brother John Hamman
Collected Almanac
Complate Works of Derek Dingle
I hope that you will love and use books to your advantage and appreciate them as much as I do.
