I have ordered books many times that were listed "in stock" but turned out the website was outdated and they were not.
The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini

Don't take my word for it, but I've heard that there are plans to reprint at least volume 2, so this should mean that a reprint of volume 1 will also occur. As always with these things though, I won't hold my breath (mostly because I have terrible lung capacity, but also because I'd look weird sitting here holding my breath).

I received my copy today, complete with caricature Ascanio fridge magnet and a couple of postcards and catalog. Nice little touches.

Like Marcus I am eager to delve into the book itself. Come to think of it, why am I on the Café right now when I could be reading this book?

Hi Steven

I ordered vol 1 directly from Paginas libros de Magia, the publisher in Spain and it came with the fridge magnet and postcards (the fridge magnet was a caricature of Ascanio, the postcards were of a couple of other Spanish magicians. I don't know if it's a standard set or if they give a fridge magnet of the magician whose product you buy). The link I used to order was that given by Markus in December 2014. So they may well still have it in stock.

Hi

You might try the original publisher (paginas) in Spain. It is still listed on their site.
However, the site is in Spanish only and when I tried to order today (another book), I did not manage to complete the order. Hoping they will reply to my email...

Anyway, here is the link to the product page
http://www.librosdemagia.com/catalogo/ve......gic.html

You might give it a try.

Best, markus


best wishes, John

I too ordered from Paginas libros de Magia, they still got it. It's a bit tricky to order if you don't know any Spanish, I don't, but with Google translate and Google Search I figured it out eventually. A bit pricey IMO, especially the shipping.

Not sure why the book is so hard to find anywhere else...

I will say because they do not wholesale to other magic shops / dealers like Murphy's anymore that will made the book price jump up ... All in all it is a must read book for understand the fundamental cornerstone of Spanish Close Up Magic.

It seems to be back in print now, in the UK at least as I have just managed to order a copy from Merchant Of Magic at £48.50. I have been tyring to get a copy for a number of years and cannot wait to read it.
