Please Note: Books are a WONDERFUL bargain in magic. I sell a very small selection. Books are a 'bad' deal for dealers because they are just so heavy that in some cases I have lost money shipping them! So...be aware that I ship books at cost. No markup to profit on the shipping. I will only charge just what it costs me to put it or them in the mail. All best, Brad Larry Becker's magnificent opus, Stunners! was first published in 1992. In 1993 at the Society of American Magicians annual convention in New Orleans, Mr. Becker received the coveted Milbourne Christopher Foundation Literary Award for this Outstanding Contribution to the Art of Mentalism and Magic.

Now, after ten years, not only may you enjoy this original masterly work, you'll also be able to delve into the many variations, improvements and new effects that were created during the decade following the publication of Stunners! In addition, this exciting new book also includes the instructions and presentations for many of Larry's commercially produced effects.

Stunners! Plus! contains the more than fifty effects from the original Stunners! including Larry's original presentation of his death defying "Russian Roulette." A total over over 100 killer mental routines with books, coins, paper currency, cards, pencils and pens, watches, newspapers, boxes, props, no props, and so much more. Some of the most baffling entertaining, mental effects ever created, all bearing the Becker hallmarks of maximum entertainment potential and simplicity. These inexplicable mysteries, complete with presentations, will catapult you to a higher plateau as an entertainer.

Stunners! Plus! is also packed with major improvements to such effects as Casino Royale, Ultimate Flashback, Serial Killer, Sneak Thief and so many other powerful effects created over the decade following the original Stunners! release. And, as if all this wasn't enough, imagine peering into the inner workings of Larry's many commercial effects, including: Chameleon Chest, Versadex, Blockbuster, Incredible, Insight Wallets, Psiclops, Casino Light, Zenneristic and more.

The Stunners! material has been completely re-typeset and all of the original art and illustrations have been preserved and upated. Stunners! Plus! is a must-have for mentalists from amateur to professional and for magicians who want to make the transition, there's no better place to start.

Softbound, 674 pages, fully illustrated.

Atta Girl by Docc Hilford -- EFFECT: Three cards are chosen by three spectators. After shuffling and displaying the deck, the magician deals cards singly off the top until the spectators stop him. Amazingly, the three spectators find their own cards! Each revelation is stronger than the last, and the final card is found while the cards are shown face-up! Requires nothing more than the included deck of Bicycle cards No switches Suitable for close-up and stage performances Easy to do

Lolita System by Docc Hilford -- Docc Hilford has devised a simple yet highly effective system that can be applied to any borrowed deck of cards in minutes, making the free selection of any card or pair of cards instantly known! Here are just a few of the effects possible: Two cards and a word are chosen by three spectators. You hypnotize a woman who reveals the names of the cards and the chosen word! You write three different predictions, each with a spectator's initials on them. The spectators freely select cards and your predictions match the selections! A spectator secretly chooses two coins from his pocket. Another freely chooses two cards. The values of the coins and cards are added together. You know the total, the values of the coins, the names of both cards and even the date on one of the coins! This system took years to develop along with the audience-tested routines. Now you can perform miracles without sleight-of-hand or memory techniques.

Maximum Mind Control by David Eldridge -- David Eldridge’s booklet Mind Control took the magic world by storm. Here at last was a place to find the  ‘Real Work’ on the Magician’s Force! And, indeed it was. Both the book and the video have been best sellers and that’s with very little advertising on our part. Two years have gone by and David’s NEW and EXPANDED work ‘Maximum Mind Control’ is now out and ONLY available from Brad Burt’s Magic Shop. Maximum Mind Control has THREE TIMES as much material as Mind Control. It contains everything that was in the original Mind Control, but reworked and added to and THEN it builds from there. You get 100 FULL SIZE pages in a spiral bound format for easy reading and study. Yes, we ARE paying more to have them spiral bound, but this is a work book for magicians who want to CONTROL what their spectators select and when they select it! There is work here from such brilliant minds as Kenton Knepper, Lee Eearle, Peter Marcucci, and Bob Farmer. This IS the kind of information that will revolutionize your performance, and give you a set of tools and techniques that will add power to your magic. There are NO pipe dreams here. The material inside is practical, use-it-everyday magic technique. Want a quote from a top flight magic guy? Here: “‘Equivoque’ or ‘The Magician’s Choice’ is an important, yet oft misunderstood and abused technique in magic. David Eldridge is a master of the art. Through his entertaining magic and metalism, he teaches the proper application of this very important tool. I have no “choice”, but to recommend his work.” -Michael Sibbernsen, Magic entertainer, writer, and creative consultantMaximum Mind Control contains items that Dave used to produce in the shop and sell as fast as he could make them!  Highly recommended.

Mentalism Incorporated - Hickok -- This is a book for what may prove a small audience. I'm not sure. Here is what you get: The finest book yet released on WORKING for corporations....and how to use Mentalism in that particular setting. You get everything: Routines, patter, how to contact and who to talk to. And, well much, much more. This is the real stuff and frankly the price is much to low. I can tell you from personal experience that in any other professional setting the information in this book (which is beautifully hardbound, etc. by the way) would cost $200-500. I'm not kidding. Information of this quality and specific nature, that deals with an area of magic performance that commands HIGH fees, etc. would cost hundreds in any other setting. If you have even a little bit of a handering to work for big money you should get and read this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Self-Working Mental Magic -- 121 pages and 73 usefull illustrations support 67 easy and fun 'fake' psychic tricks. This is a great and inexpensive way to start learning about this interesting area of the Magic Craft.

Wonder Readings by Knepper / Sikes -- NOTICE!  This wonderful package is BACK and it's now on 6 CD's.  I believe that the spiral bound book is now something like a PDF...on the 6th CD...pretty sure that's what they have done!  Love it!  The price has dropped a whopping $75.00 and that's pretty cool!  This is flat out the best product of it's type and it's been unavailable for several years.  If you are looking to add entertaining "Psychic" readings to your show this product rocks.  Highly recommended for those wanting to work in this profitable niche market.NOTE 2:  For those leary of the 'psychic' reading concept note that you need not have to play it that way.  You can do "personality readings" or whatever.  On an ethical level, you can make it clear that what you are doing is for entertainment purposes, and that it is the product of intensive study into the "nature" of the human experience or whatever spin you prefer.  Buying the 120 page spiral bound book and the 4 audio cassettes that are supplied may be one of the two or three best professional investments you will make as a magician or a mentalist. Although the material would seem to be more in line with what a mentalist would use the fact is that the addition of ‘psychic’, ‘personality analysis’, etc. readings to the programs offered by a magician can be a HUGE money maker. Consider that on average the mentalist can ask for and get MUCH higher fees than most magicians! Why? Is it because what the mentalist offers is so much ‘better’? NO! It is because many times mentalism is simply more interesting to people who would like to believe that ‘maybe’ someone CAN see into the future. I had a magician friend years ago that made a great deal of money by opening with a 30 minute magic act. He finished with a terrific mental routine and then offered to do ‘readings’ for folks after the show. This was of course part of the agreement with the client. He could sometimes pick up as much as . . .

The Richey Technique Revealed by Docc Hilford -- Reverend Dr. Patrick Richey built an empire with a single technique for answering his audience members' questions, whether in private readings for a single sitter or on stage for hundreds. Although his presentation was roughly copied, the secret method was kept from others until he revealed it to Docc Hilford before his death and now Docc is spilling all the beans! With this ingenious technique the questions are never even written by the participants, but each is directly answered-you could even seal the answers in envelopes for the sitter to take home and read later, with specific names, dates and answers.
