TREVOR LEWIS ESOLC

(that's "Close UP")
by Phil Willmarth

This is a soft cover, stapled, 5 1/2 x 8 book of 98 pages which was printed in 1981.
Due to the confusing name, that fact that we didn't advertise as we should, and because the book is printed in a small type size, the book did not receive the attention or sales the material it contains deserved.

There are six chapters: "Focus on Cards" (nine items), "Double Focus on Cards" (seven items), "No Focus at All" (five items), "Focus on Coins" (four items), "Focus on Comedy" (ten items), and "Focus on Dealer Effects" (six items).  Only six items are in Routines Matter. Stand-outs include "Trevor's Swivel Force," "Trevor's Benson Bowl Routine," " Flog," and "Tamaraz Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits."

The Impostress Princess

Charles Reynolds said: 

“One of the best books on magic I have ever read. Even if you never do the effect, and I cannot imagine you will not, you will learn a lot about the psychology and showmanship involved in the effective presentation of mystery effects  of all kinds. The Impostress Princess is, I suspect, destined to become a classic treatise on a classic effect.”    

 The Impostress Princess Reviews

Republished and EXPANDED by Peter’s long-time friend and traveling companion

Phil Willmarth, the book is brought up to date with variations of the effect or method

of which Peter was either unaware or unable to include. Methods for one person or

thousands, impromptu or prepared, with cards or without are now included by some of

the finest minds in magic. Plus an “Annotated Appendix” with “Tips and Related

Information” and “Reviewing ‘Pairs Re-Paired’ Methodologies” shedding new light

on the basic methodology.

$40.00 plus $5.00 p&h US, $15.00 p&h elsewhere.  

FUN WITH A HANDKERCHIEF

Philip R.Willmarth

If you have a handkerchief in your pocket, borrow one or use a cloth napkin, you are always ready to entertain with the over 20 stunts, gags, and clever folds described in this book. Fatima the dancer, the hyper-active mouse, the bunny that eats, the little Hindu, the ghost and the melodrama delight young and old alike.

There are a dozen more stunts, gags and catches to share. Finally, Willmarth’s “Impromptu Chapeaugraphy” gives you some two dozen hats to dramatize, clown with and develop an entertaining routine.

Stapled, board cover, 6”x 9”, 65 pages, 75 illustrations by the author. $10.00 + $2.50 US mediamail or $5.00 priority mail. International $15.00 or order with one other hard-cover book or a soft-bound book else for no increase in postage.
