Exclusive Digital Magic Products for Magicians
Every generation a magician comes along， whose intention is to record magic in an encyclopedic fashion. Professor Hoffmann was the first in recorded history to attempt such a feat with his trilogyModern Magic，More Magic， andLater Magic. Certainly many magic books have been published before him， mostly copying from each other. But none reaches the depth and breadth of Prof. Hoffmann’s work. The material in these three books records the state of the art of magic in the late 19th century. Today we know more tricks and we have also refined our techniques and methods. But it is astounding how much was already known at that time. Reading carefully you will discover several clever methods which have been forgotten or have fallen out of fashion with todays popular magicians. If you really want to fool your magic friends the next time， read this book and perform one of its many not so well known secrets.
