From Judge Gary Brown, author of Wandcraft
In The Inventive Magician's Handbook...with Props, Gary Brown unfolds four key areas magicians can work in to create more innovative, expressive magic. Each area is illuminated by many examples from the rich history of magic and by over a dozen of Gary’s own highly inventive routines.
To make the book a complete experience, it comes with a carefully curated kit of the special props required to perform the routines. Having these props in your hands will allow you to experiment with the principles and concepts as you move through the book. The routines all come with a full script so you can learn to perform them, if you wish, while you work to develop your own approaches.
The Inventive Magician’s Handbook…with Props will be released on October 1, 2024. It is a 208-page, 7” x 10” hardcover—plus an 8-page color-insert and access to 19 supplementary videos and materials—complete with the prop-kit. It is priced at $120.00. Because of the book’s unique character, this is a limited release and will only be available from us at www.TheoryandArtofMagic.com. Orders will be shipped to arrive around October 1.

Review from Dean Carnegie at THE MAGIC DETECTIVE BLOG, September 12, 2024
The general idea behind the book is to help you, the reader, understand that you don't have to settle for what's out there in magic, or tired old tricks that have been seen a million times, but rather you can invent new plots, new presentations, and new routines by using these various tools that Judge Gary suggests....
As for the props, you are receiving a separate package with all the props needed from the book..... All of the routines, have scripts, but these are not the standard fair where the script is basically explaining the moves the magician is making. Rather, these are well thought out, audience tested stories, that push the narrative and the trick along from beginning to the final moments. To demonstrate the power of these stories, they could stand alone without the props and still be interesting. But WITH the props you add meaning to what you are presenting....
The Inventive Magicians Handbook w/Props is a breath of fresh air and a resource that every magician needs if they want to stand out from the crowd.... Don't wait. This book will sell out FAST!
