Ed Marlo 40 Years Later by Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelley: The Definitive Modern Marlo Collection
After four decades of waiting, the legendary Ed Marlo finally gets the tribute he deserves. This stunning hardbound book brings you the very best commercial card magic from one of history's greatest cardicians, presented by two of his closest students.
Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelley studied directly under Ed Marlo for over fifteen years. They watched him work, learned his secrets, and saw which routines absolutely destroyed audiences night after night. Now they've gathered those platinum pieces into one incredible volume.
This isn't another rehash of published material. Ed Marlo 40 Years Later is completely written from scratch and packed with never before published routines, properly explained for the first time. You're getting the commercial cream of Marlo's work, the routines that actually play in the real world.
Inside this beautiful 8.5 x 11 inch, 140 page hardbound book, you'll discover thirty-four complete routines and over thirty-five sleights, moves, and subtleties. Every technique is clearly explained with seventy-eight detailed illustrations. This is Smyth-sewn binding that will last a lifetime in your magic library.
What makes this book special? These aren't just tricks on a page. These are audience-tested, worker routines that have proven themselves in countless performances. Randy and Kevin have taken Marlo's genius and distilled it into practical, usable magic that you can actually perform.
You'll find stories and insights about Ed Marlo that exist nowhere else. Learn how he thought, how he approached card magic, and why certain techniques mattered more than others. This is the insider's perspective on one of magic's true innovators.
Whether you're an intermediate card magician looking to expand your repertoire or an advanced performer seeking fresh Marlo material, this book delivers. The routines range from commercial workers perfect for walk-around gigs to stunning showcase pieces that will elevate your card magic to new heights.
This is only the second hardbound Ed Marlo book ever produced and the first new one in 42 years. It's already receiving rave reviews from magic's top professionals. Harrison Carroll calls it a must have for any cardman. Bill Malone says the wait was worth it. David Regal literally fooled himself with one of the switches.
The final routine alone, according to Joe Monti, is worth its weight in magic gold. Jack Carpenter found four routines in just the first chapter that went straight into his working repertoire.
Ed Marlo 40 Years Later celebrates Eddie's incredible legacy while giving you practical, astonishing card magic that will serve you for years. This is commercial Marlo magic at its finest, preserved and presented by two people who knew him best.
