Publisher's description:
If you've been into magic for a few years, you probably know that moment. You open an old book... and stumble upon an incredible effect.
And you think: "How did I miss this?"
Magic is full of hidden treasures. Brilliant routines buried in the corner of a book, an old magazine, or lecture notes... then almost completely forgotten.
Mark Elsdon calls these gems Hidden Gems.
For years, he has explored the literature of magic to uncover powerful effects that almost no one performs... even though they deserve a place in the repertoires of top professionals.
This book is the result of that work.
In The Complete Hidden Gems, Mark gathers all the material he's revealed over the years-plus brand-new discoveries. The result: a true treasure map of magic.
Cards, coins, close-up, mentalism, stage, cabaret... Each effect comes with context, origin, and-most importantly-why it hits hard with real audiences.
This isn't just a list of tricks. It's a guide to rediscovering some of the strongest ideas ever published-the ones no one performs... but that can become your signature pieces.
And for those who like a real challenge, there's even a special section of Hidden Gems capable of fooling Penn & Teller.
If you are on the look-out for great tricks that no one else is doing (and who isn't?!) then you will find a ton of them in here.
