Published by Supreme Magic Co. and expertly edited by Ken de Courcy, Magigram was a beacon of magical innovation, featuring contributions from an unparalleled roster of talent. Imagine learning from legends such as Edwin, Ian Adair, Peter Warlock, Max Maven, Lewis Ganson, Maurice Fogel, Arthur Carter, George Blake, David Britland, Pavel, George Johnstone, Billy McComb, and even Aldo Colombini himself, who contributed a card magic column for over two decades. This volume distills some of the finest routines and concepts from that golden era, making them accessible to a new generation of performers.
An Arsenal of Amazing Effects
Magigram Vol. 1 is packed with a diverse collection of effects designed to entertain and astound any audience. Experience the brilliance of Mark Weston's 'CARD LOCATION,' where a spectator's chosen card mysteriously appears atop a selected packet. Master close-up manipulation with Ken de Courcy's 'THIMBLE THRU,' a visual penetration effect where a thimble passes right through a handkerchief. Allan Lambie's 'ROPE AND RINGS' offers a charming routine with everyday objects, while de Courcy's 'ROPE PREFIX' provides a beautiful knot sequence perfect for enhancing any rope act. Delve into card subtleties with Bill Shewan's unique take on a classic in 'THREE AND A BIT,' or baffle with Arthur Setterington's 'IT'S IN THE BAG,' where a chosen card is magically retrieved from a sealed plastic bag.
The wonders continue with Tony Griffith's 'TWO-WAY TWIST,' a fair and impossible card prediction, and Setterington's 'BOUNCE,' a spectacular stage or parlor effect where a chosen card adheres to a bounced ball. Ian Adair contributes two fantastic pieces: 'IN THE GLASS APPEARANCE,' where a selected card impossibly remains in a glass after others are poured out, and the humorous 'THUMBS UP!' a delightful handkerchief penetration that guarantees laughter. Each routine is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity that defined the Magigram era.

CONTENTS:
CARD LOCATION (Mark Weston): A spectator selects a card. The deck is dealt in three packets. A spectator selects a packet and on top of it, the selected card appears!
THIMBLE THRU (Ken de Courcy): A thimble, isolated on the end of a pen and covered with a handkerchief, penetrates the handkerchief and comes into view!
ROPE AND RINGS (Allan Lambie): A nice effect using a piece of rope and two rings!
ROPE PREFIX (Ken de Courcy): A beautiful knot sequence to perform before or after any rope routine!

IT'S IN THE BAG (Arthur Setterington): A deck is cut into four packets. A spectator picks one and from it he selects a card. The cards are shuffled and placed into a plastic bag. You remove the selected card from the bag!
TWO-WAY TWIST (Tony Griffith): A spectator deals the cards until he is left with one. The selection is done in a very fair manner. The card was predicted by you!
