MINT V Unauthorized by Edward Marlo & Wesley James

More than the twenty major Marlo items Ed contributed to New Tops Magazine in 1982-1983 - not to mention new sleights, finesses, and subtleties - these items have been largely unavailable since their publication, almost 40 years ago. Wesley James has added another two years of material toward fulfilling Ed Marlo's expressed wishes, keeping his material available "for the guys."

As with Wesley's two previous releases, M.I.N.T. III and M.I.N.T. IV, these long-unavailable Marlo items could have been all Wesley compiled. Such a volume would have been a huge contribution to the literature of card magic. As a tribute to Ed, Wesley wanted this volume to offer more. So, he added clarifications, corrections - both logical and grammatic - plus his own personal Notes. Some Notes are complementary, some critical, some revolutionary, all are highly informative.

Wes didn't stop there. As Wesley has often stated, "One can't perform card magic without a tip of the hat to Ed Marlo." Wesley's friend of more than 25 years, Ed Marlo, inspired a huge amount of material that Wesley developed, massaged, enhanced and adapted through his performance experience. Among Wesley's included creations are full routines inspired by the Marlo material. Wesley's routines are fully explained, many for the first time in any published source. In total, Wesley has added well over 50 Notes and Bonus items.

If you're as devoted to card magic as Wesley, you need to own this volume and study it closely. The combination of Marlo material plus enhancements, Wesley's insightful Notes, and the wealth of original Wesley James routines create a volume that every serious Marlo student should own and absorb, and students of Wesley James material will want to explore in great depth.

If you already own MINT I, II, III, and IV, now you can expand your file of Marlo In New Tops while awaiting Wesley's completion of the remaining run of Marlo material, 81-85 - '84-'85 is in the works. At the same time, you can add to your collection of Wesley James' creations, and benefit from his detailed descriptions and analysis. Rarely has one book offered more to those who are serious about card magic. Some of what you'll read is easy, some is more technically challenging, but all the material is practical and can be added to your repertoire.

This entire collection, more than 55,000 words plus illustrations and photographs, in nearly 200 densely packed pages, preserves Marlo In New Tops. The ebook price is just $60 and, as you'll see from the Table of Contents below, you'll want to read this book carefully to absorb all it offers.

Don't wait to be blown away by this mix of older Marlo material and Wesley James' insightful Notes and cutting-edge creations. It's all here for you now.
