Description

*****  Well, THE MAGIC GADGET SITE wants to THANK all our customers who have suppported TMGS for over 15 years!!   And if you are new to TMGS, you can learn more about any of our items and our fast, friendly service by visiting THE MAGIC GADGET SITE eBay store.  Share the magic!           ******
We have each of these three booklets listed separately in our eBay store, but I am always trying to find ways to help TMGS buyers get the best deals, and to leverage the ever-increasing price of postage, so they can get as much magic for their shipping costs as possible.
So I put all three of these great Annemann booklets into a single listing, and the shipping is the same as for any one of them!    So if you like Annemann (and who doesn't) or if you have never read any of his classic books, here's your chance to get three of 'em, in convenient easy to read booklet form.
Bundle includes  SHHH! IT'S A SECRET, STRANGE SECRETS, AND ANNEMANNS MENTAL BARGAIN EFFECTS.    If you buy these separately, even at our great low TMGS prices, they would be plus multiple shipping costs.   Get them all in this bundle for less.
SHHH! IT'S A SECRET by Theodore Annemann
(paperback stapled, mint condition) 1970's  Tannens reprint
48 pages.
This book was originally published by Holden's and Davenports in 1934, and was part of the literary output that would establish Theo Annemann's place among the great thinkers of magic.   The book was reprinted in the early 1970's by Tannens.   The edition is undated, but I am pretty sure it came out in about 1973.
Look at the photo of the Contents, and example pages to get a sense of the format.
I think D Robbins has since reprinted the book also in the 1990's, but this one is the Tannen's edition.
MENTAL BARGAIN EFFECTS  by Theodore Annemann
(paperback stapled, mint condition)
Although only 15 pages, this booklet contains eleven effects (edited by Annemann, but including items from JG Thompson and William Hewitt, in addition to Annemann).  Most of them are very practical and will play strongly, even for modern mentalism audiences.   I could try to convince you, but maybe best thing I can say here is to pull a quote off the magic online forums:    "
I consider this little book to be the best value for size (or even many times its size) of any book ever written for mentalism!
"  -- Richard Osterlind, 2010
Undated later reprint, in perfect, mint condition.    This booklet is available elsewhere in e-book format, for about the same price, but if you are like me, you prefer to have the actual book, so you can easily refer to it, skim it, and glean new ideas.   Get the real book here.  It is truly a BARGAIN.
THE INCORPORATED STRANGE SECRETS by Theo. Annemann
(paperback stapled, mint condition) 1982  D. Robbins reprint
19 pages.
This book was originally published in 1939 by Max Holden.  This is a 1983 reprint came from D. Robbins.
If you have read other Annemann book listings among our TMGS offerings, then you already know I think everyone should read everything by Annemann.   This is another of his thin (but value-packed, important) booklets.
This booklet does not have a Table of Contents, so I cannot show you a photo list of everything in the book.  But there are eleven effects which will get you thinking , and that you will find valuable either as performance pieces, or as jumping off points for your own variations and creations.
Pretend that this is not a book being sold, but a brand new mental card effect by a hot new magician of the month.  The effect goes like this:
A borrowed deck is shuffled by the spectator, who then cuts off about 15 or 20 cards and hands them to you.   You claim that you will memorize all these cards, handed to you at random from a shuffled borrowed deck.  You run through the cards, committing them to memory -- this takes about 30-45 seconds.   Then you hand the cards back to the spectator, and she shuffles them again, and removes any card and hands you back the rest of the cards.  "Because I memorized all the cards, I just need to look through them and find which one is missing to know the card you kept".    Again, you run through the cards for about 30-45 seconds, and then name a card.  It is the one the she holds.
If that effect was being released and sold as a stand-alone mental memory trick, how much would it cost?    ?  Maybe , if it came with a DVD to teach you (even though it is easily learned from the pages of a book)
Well, it is just one of eleven in this booklet.   And the booklet costs a lot less than .   So what are you waiting for?
Look at the photos of example pages to get a sense of the formats in these books.
