Marlo's Magazine (Vol. 1-6, Original Issues)- Edward Marlo - SIGNED

All 6 volumes of the original Marlo's Magazine

For anyone serious about card magic, Ed Marlo's name represents the pinnacle of innovation and creativity. This legendary figure created more than 7,000 effects and techniques throughout his career, fundamentally reshaping how we approach card magic. His influence runs so deep that if you've performed a card trick, you've almost certainly encountered something touched by Marlo's genius.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Marlo grew increasingly frustrated with traditional magic publishers. He watched as editors held his material for years, creating opportunities for others to independently develop or hear about similar ideas and beat him to publication. In an era where getting credit for new card magic techniques was crucial, Marlo decided to take control.

The solution was bold, to say the least: self-publish six massive "magazines" containing his finest work. Each book was hand-numbered by Marlo himself, with only 300 copies of each volume ever printed (see NOTE below). This scarcity, combined with the exceptional quality of the material, transformed these books into the Holy Grail of card magic literature.

The scope of material within Marlo's Magazines is staggering. These volumes contain comprehensive examinations of techniques that have become fundamental to modern card magic. You'll find in-depth explorations of Card-To-Pocket handlings, the Punch Deal, Marlo's Convincing Control, and countless effects including Ace Assemblies and Oil and Water variations.

Each magazine presents at least 200 techniques, and effects. This is where legendary sleights like the Snap Change, Olram's Jinx Switch, and the Unit Upjog Control first saw print. The breadth is so vast that every time you open these volumes, you discover something new: a technique you missed, a subtle handling detail, or an approach that suddenly clicks into place.

Original first edition volumes now command $350 or more on the collectors' market. The scarcity isn't artificial. These books have been genuinely hoarded by those lucky enough to own them.
