Product information

J. G. Thompson Jr.’s *Top Secrets of Magic* trilogy offers a comprehensive guide to mastering magic. Volume 1 focuses on sleight of hand with over 200 photos and seamless routines like Pasteboard Presto and Cups and Balls. Volume 2 introduces advanced techniques such as Silver Shenanigans and Velvet Slate. Volume 3, praised by Martin Gardner, delves into card magic and mentalism with tricks like Aces on Parade and The Right Spirit. Together, these volumes provide over 500 pages of expert guidance for magicians of all levels.

Vol 1

What a wonderful book on sleight of hand magic with small objects this is – profusely illustrated with more than 200 photos, by a recognized inventor, author, and reviewer of magic.

From the introduction by Blackstone:

But, there has always been a dearth of practical routines, probably due to the difficulty encountered by most magicians in linking tricks into a smoothly flowing series of mysteries and, perhaps, because of some innate trait of laziness found in most of us. That is why I am so impressed and pleased with the text of Jim’s book. It truly helps to fill an unfortunate gap in magical literature.

From the Preface:

Experienced students of magic recognize the importance of blending tricks into a smoothly flowing series instead of performing single items in a more-or-less haphazard fashion. Some of the most effective magic is presented in routine form. However, while there are plenty of individual tricks to be found, the magician looking for some continuity in his mysteries ends up doing just that—looking.

The obvious advantage of a routine lies in the fact that this procedure enables the performer to move gracefully from one effect to another without a noticeable break or awkward pause. In short, from the onlookers’ viewpoint, the finished product is more pleasing to watch and, consequently, more interesting and baffling as one mystery flows easily into another.

Vol 2

Actually, encouraged by the reception given Volume 1, I was busily engaged, as early as 1957, in putting together the material you’ll find here. Then there was a lull (the kindest phrase I can think of!) that stopped me from applying the finishing touches until 1960. It was followed by a storm that lasted about five years. So … now you know!

From the introduction by Martin Gardner:

With this distinguished background it is little wonder that his latest series of books, Top Secrets of Magic, of which this is the third, is a veritable treasure trove of material, clearly and simply explained, and displaying a remarkable knowledge of what has been done and is being done today in every branch of conjuring. The large clear photographs make the text delightfully easy to follow. Magicians throughout the world will look forward now to volume 4, then 5, and as many more as Jim will find time to write, for he is putting together a series of such scope that its volumes will surely find their places among the outstanding books of the century in the literature of the art.
