The Phoenix: Volume 1 Number 10

Number 10 opens with a card effect designed for magicians who perform for magicians. It’s a two part selection that will fool your friends at the club. It does involve a setup as well as a gaffed deck. It would be greatly improved by those who have read Giobbi’s deck switching book.

J.G. Thompson’s Silver Arrow takes the Hilliard Vanish from Greater Magic and turns it into a coin and hank penetration.

Two from Audley Walsh is two submissions from him. First is a rabbit vanish using a break-away box and flat rabbit. Then a gimmickless card rise which Gibson and Elliott aren’t entirely sure was created by Walsh. They might be right.

Phoenix Jr. cover the SAM convention shows featuring acts that you might recognize. The Backroom has a magical obituary from Lu Brent with a commentary from Elliott as well as an update on Bert Allerton and Dai Vernon’s broken arms.
