As many of you know I have the utmost respect for Martin Lewis and after knowing him for many years I can tell you this man is a wealth of magical knowledge. He is nothing short of a perfectionist when it comes to his work dealing in and making magic apparatus for the Magic community. This is one of those rare instances where we as magicians have a chance to actually get into the mind of a true professional and I might add a really nice guy! I wish Martin Lewis all the best with this marvellous labor of love! And I deeply thank him for sharing this with us.

Good magic to all,

Here is the website info.

Good magic to all,

Had to think about this for maybe 2 minutes. ordered. just wish it showed a few more peeks of the contents, but I am sure it will be good.

This is a MUST BUY for me. I have Martin's "Making Magic" DVDs which cover some of the same material, and his columns on making magic that ran in MAGIC and Genii , but having all this material gathered under one cover is worth it to me (like Steinmeyer's "Conjuring Anthology").

I will talk with Martin later on today and I will get that answer for you.
