Thayer's Fifty Workshop Ideas
by Wm. W. Larsen, Sr.
Explains 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.
In the Thayer files and desk drawers were literally hundreds of ideas. Some they sought out and paid for. Others were given to them. At the time, it was impossible to manufacture many things on a large scale. However, individual magicians could obtain enough materials to make up a few things for themselves. And of course, now, with no shortages of wood, cardboard, wood, sheet metal, and with modern techniques (such as home printers and super glue), there's nothing holding you back.
Larsen provides scores of items which you can easily manufacture. 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.
Plus, only in this release, you also get two bonus ideas not in the original edition.
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!
Revised and expanded reprint of the 1942 Thayer edition that sold for the equivalent of over .00 in today's money. This edition includes a new chapter, two new topics, and seven expanded ideas.
