Mike Caveney Wonders &
The Conference Illusions

A few weeks ago I wrote in this space that roughly 30% of my recently reprinted Mike Caveney Wonders and The Conference Illusions were destroyed in the warehouse fire at Vanishing Inc. As they have continued to dig through the ashes, they discovered that while many of my books were destroyed, a portion of them were miraculously spared. So I’m happy to report that Vanishing Inc has copies in California and in England and of course I have copies here at Magic Words. If you missed out the first time around, here is your second chance. Find out what I’ve been wondering about for the past fifty years. You can read reviews of these books by clicking HERE.

And the companion book The Final Conference Illusions, is also available from Magic Words. This volume completes the story of my involvement with the Los Angeles Conference on Magic History by describing my recreations of Carter the Great’s Spirit Cabinet, Maurice Rooklyn’s Birth of a Pearl, and John Daniel’s Thin Model Sawing. It also includes the most complete biography of Turkey’s most famous magician and inventor of The Thin Model Sawing Illusion, Zati Sungur.
