All eleven volumes—one special price!
Between 1973 and 2005, Dr. Robert J. Albo produced one of the greatest sets of books in magic literature—the eleven-volume Classic Magic series. Drawing on his extensive collection of props and vast knowledge, Dr. Albo offers readers a comprehensive guide to prop-based conjuring that spans hundreds of years, thousands of miles, and a wealth of effects.
While the extremely limited-edition Classic Magic books are now greatly sought after and fetch extremely high prices in their original format, Conjuring Arts is delighted to exclusively offer Dr. Albo’s definitive series as a set of fully searchable PDFs.
Whether you’re a keen student of magic history or a performer seeking to expand your show, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to discover the props and routines that have made the reputations of master magicians throughout the ages.
