 Thayer's Fifty Workshop Ideas
by William W. Larsen, Sr.
Here's a rare opportunity to obtain 50 of Thayer's ideas for tricks that they planned to release in the 1940s, but due to wartime restrictions, were unable to produce in large quantities.
Back in the day, hundreds of magicians said: "Thayer, I wish I could go through your files. You must have hundreds of ideas stored away: tricks that magicians have sent you for sale and manufacture."
And Thayer listened! In their files and desk drawers were literally hundreds of ideas. Some they sought out and paid for. Others were given to them.
But because of wartime government priorities, it was impossible to manufacture many things on a large scale. However, individual magicians could get hold of enough materials to make up a few things for themselves. And of course, now, with no shortages of cardboard, paper or wood, and with modern techniques (such as home printers and super glue), there's nothing holding you back.
In "Thayer's Fifty Workshop Ideas" you're presented with scores of items which you can manufacture, easily. Some require no real manufacturing ability whatsoever. All are ideas that Thayer planned to release in one form or another.
And thus, this manuscript was born. Not fully fleshed out routines with patter, but the gist of these ideas and their explanations. Easy to read and understand. Here are the titles, just as Thayer had intended cataloging them:
It's all practical stuff. Made up, these tricks today would be marketed at prices ranging from five to fifty dollars each or more. Now the ideas are yours, to make use of as you will.
Use the ideas for your own act; repurpose them as items to make and sell at your shows; or perhaps you've always wanted to become a mail order or Internet magic dealer and need ideas for new tricks to sell. Now you can!
While the original Thayer manuscript sold for the equivalent of over $33.00 in today's money, now you can get this Magic World revised and expanded edition that includes a new chapter, two new topics, and seven expanded ideas, at a much lower price.
