MINT III Unauthorized by Edward Marlo & Wesley James (PDF Download)

Beyond the Eight major pieces of material, not to mention sleights and subtleties, that have remained unavailable since the 20-year run of the New Tops ended, Wesley James has completed the task of fulfilling Ed Marlo’s expressed wishes, keeping his material available “for the guys.”If the long-unavailable Marlo items were all Wesley compiled, this would be an important contribution to the literature of card magic. As tribute to Ed, Wesley wanted this volume to offer more. So, he added clarifications and corrections – both logical and grammatic – plus his own personal Notes. Some of those Notes are complementary some critical, all informative.

Wesley 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 significant amount of material that Wesley developed, massaged, enhanced and adapted through his performance experience. Among Wesley’s creations are Seven full routines inspired by the Eight long unavailable Marlo items. Wesley’s routines are included, many for the first time in any published source.

If you’re a fan of card magic, you’ll want to own this volume and study it closely. The combination of enhanced Marlo material, Wesley’s insightful Notes, and the 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 depth.

If you already own MINT I and II, now, finally, you can complete your file of Marlo In New Tops.
