The Very Best Of Edward Marlo (FR)
MAGIC DREAM Editions are proud to present in French the work "The Very Best Of Edward Marlo"!
After the success of the Very Best Of Automatic Card Tricks, VBO Dai Vernon, VBO Simon Aronson, VBO Nick Trost and VBO ESP Tricks, here is a further work translated into French by Richard Vollmer to expand this wonderful collection!
Does Ed Marlo really need an introduction?
His fame crossed borders long ago, and there's scarcely a specialist publication that hasn't published some sample of his talent.
More than a stager of effects, Marlo is above all an explorer, a trailblazer, a pioneer, an inventor and a theoretician who, through tireless research, has pushed back the frontiers of card magic.
His techniques, principles, concepts, presentation ideas and effects will enrich the arsenal and repertoire of all who absorb them.
What you'll find gathered for the first time in this work will delight every lover of card magic, and strengthen their conviction that a deck of cards is an inexhaustible source of surprises and wonder.
A word about Richard Vollmer:
To date, he has about a hundred books to his name. Over time, Richard Vollmer has translated most of them from English. About ten come directly from his own pen. He knows the best cardicians and mentalists in the world. The elite of world magic hold court in his office: H. Lorraine, Paul Curry, Roberto Giobbi, J. Bannon, Tony Corinda, David Berglas, Tommy Wonder, Barrie Richardson, Martin Gardner, Joshua Jay, Th. Annemann, Dai Vernon, Ed Marlo, Darwin Ortiz, Simon Aronson, Aldo Colombini, and many more I'm forgetting, all jostle on the shelves lining the walls of his magical den. The knowledge of each name is now accessible thanks to his skills. There the spirit blows of all those whose minds (and secrets) he has entered during the long hours spent translating the ruses and subtleties that made them famous!
Richard Vollmer does his show every day in front of his computer. His stage is the keyboard and the mouse. As they get busy, the astonishing routines are born that will let you mystify your spectators!
