Friends, the holiday season is upon us! Magicians are in especially great demand during Halloween, Winter (Christmas/Hanukkah,Kwanzaa) and New Year's Eve. It's also a great time to sit beside the fire and curl up with a classic magic book! You'll find a huge selection (over 600 print titles alone) here to put on your holiday wish list.

We recently reprinted one of the 300-page titles we carry and were shocked to discover that our favorite print shop wanted a little over $26.00 per book to print it, plus freight, and we wanted to sell it at retail for $20.00! Guess what? We stuck to our guns and we're selling it for $20.00. My great-grandpa had a phrase for it: "Lose a little on every sale and make it up in volume." We're still trying to figure that one out, but it warms our heart to see our books flying off the shelves. Thanks for your support.

Have you noticed that the price of books have gone sky high lately? When one of our books sells for $25 new, we're amazed that many used sellers try to get two or three times as much for the same title! Yes, the prices for raw materials (ink, paper, cover stock, binding supplies, labor) have gone through the roof, but in the majority of cases, our books sells for less (adjusted for inflation) than they did when first introduced. We'll hold the line as much as we can, but if there's a particular title on your wish list, we recommend buying it sooner rather than later.

Everyone knows that magic and comedy go hand in hand. That's why performers in the know are always looking to add an extra comedy bit to their act. One book that's chock full of great advice and material in "Tiny" Grant's Comedy Patter : Its Presentation and Use, published by us. The digital edition was added to Lybrary.com earlier this week and already it's the number one book in four categories! If your business is laughter, you should have this book in your working library.

One of our popular sellers is Tricks with Magnets by U. F. Grant. Not only are the tricks pretty cool, especially if you perform them with the high-powered neodymium magnets available at Harbor Freight Tools and Amazon, but they'd make a fine science fair project, too, if you work up a nice scientific explanation that doesn't necessarily reveal the secret.

Happy New Year! This is the time for making (and then keeping) resolutions that will help encourage you to make 2025 the best year ever in terms of personal, magical and financial health and prosperity.
One way to help meet your goals is rediscovering the wealth of valuable information found in our reprints of vintage and collectible magic books. Make what's old new again with a clever plot twist or updated patter story. Doug Henning and David Copperfield are just two of the many performers whose beautiful performances introduced magical classics to new audiences and along the way made names for themselves. You can do it, too.
