THE BOOKS: THE COLLECTED WORKS OF ALEX ELMSLEY

In the Collected Works of Alex Elmsley the magic of this extraordinary inventor is brought together for the first time. Gathered here are
his published tricks and an equal number of previously unpublished items. Much of this material has been guarded jealously by the privi-
leged of magic, and some of it has been kept a secret from everyone. All if it is innovative, astonishing and marvelously entertaining.

THE FIRSTVOLUME of a two-volume set contains over 110 original Elmsley tricks and sleights, plus a ground-breaking essay by
Mr. Elmsley on presentation, psychology and misdirection. Between the handsome hardcovers of this big book lies some of the
most exquisite and mind-boggling magic ever conceived, all thoroughly explained in 424 pages and 314 clear illustrations.
Written by Stephen Minch and illustrated by Amado Narvaez. $39.95

VOLUME II continues the pageant of scintillating Elmsley magic.A remarkable collection of more than 103 exquisitely con-
ceived, entertaining and unfathomable tricks, ranging from baffling predictions and feats of mind-reading to glittering coin magic
and bewildering card mysteries. Many Elmsley classics are included, plus original flourishes, a chapter on tricks with the faro
shuffle, and a detailed description of Elmsley's "Cardworks," a brilliant act that was one of Elmsley's crowning achievements.
Hardbound, 512 pages, gold foil dust jacket, printed on acid-free paper. $45.00
