Flashpoints by Ed Marlo - eBook (Download)

Combining two influential works from the annals of card magic; "Full Tilt" is a comprehensive treatise on one of the most powerful subtleties in card magic. Introduced by Dai Vernon and finessed by Ed Marlo, it has dozens of uses and applications. Anyone can understand and perform it in minutes - yet it deceives everyone. Forget about complicated, difficult, knuckle-busting controls. The Tilt Concept provide total control and precise placement of a selected card without the sweat, anxiety or effort. Full Tilt has 120 pages and 70 photographs, including a complete history, over fifty items, and added material by Roger Klause, Neal Elias, Jon Racherbaumer, Ben Harris, David Harkey, Daryl, and Ken Simmons.

"Devilish Miracle". first published in 1948, has been unavailable for years. The plot is devilish and cardmen have kept it under wraps for decades. This 40-page treatise includes the original manuscript, plus all the refinements and methods Marlo added over the years.

Both historic books in a single volume, making the hard-to-get easy-to find.

168 pages, photo-illustrated.
