Mint Vi Unauthorized by Edward Marlo & Wesley James

More than the fourteen major Marlo items Ed contributed to New Tops Magazine between 1984-1985 - 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 these final two years of material, completing the full run of Marlo's New Tops articles, fulfilling Ed's expressed wishes, keeping his material available "for the guys."

As with Wesley's previous releases, M.I.N.T. III - M.I.N.T. V, these long-unavailable Marlo articles could have been all Wesley compiled. Such a volume would have been an important contribution to the literature of card magic. As a tribute to Ed, Wesley wanted these volumes to offer more. So, Wesley has added, as he has with the other volumes, clarifications, corrections - both logical and grammatic - plus his own personal Notes. Some Notes are complimentary, 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 has 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 60 Notes and Bonus items.

If you're as devoted to card magic as Wesley, you need to own this volume and perhaps complete your file of Marlo In New Tops so you can 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 through V, now you can expand your file, complete the run, and have Wesley's insights to add to your collection and to 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 more 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 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.
