MINT 1977 - 1979 Annotated by Edward Marlo & Wesley James

MINT 1977 - 1979 Annotated by Edward Marlo & Wesley James

The Annotated M.I.N.T. series concludes. It is now complete. Thanks to Ed Marlo and Wesley James, M.I.N.T III, IV, V, VI, and Annotated M.I.N.T. 1963 - 1979 (M.I.N.T. I, and II) are now available in 14 Volumes, plus, in a 15th volume, all the Index, Table of Contents, and Bibliography for all 14 volumes. After releasing M.I.N.T III through VI, and Annotated M.I.N.T 1963 through 1976 this volume again departs by including three years of material. It includes the years 1977-1979 - comprised of some longer and broader Marlo explorations. As Wesley progressed toward completing the full run of Marlo In New Tops, plus his extensive annotations, observations, and Bonus material, he wanted to be fair to Marlo fans, and to his readers by combining years to create fuller volumes. These articles provide numerous innovative and ground-breaking concepts, sleights, plots, and subtleties that have been largely unavailable since the run of the New Tops ended, notwithstanding the flat text of L & L's MINT I and II. If those books had been sufficient, Ed's material would almost certainly be better understood and in far wider use.

Wesley James had already completed the task of fulfilling Ed Marlo's expressed wishes with M.I.N.T III through VI, keeping Eddie's material available "for the guys." Now, he has brought his insights to Ed Marlo's earlier New Tops articles (M.I.N.T. I, and II). If you truly want to understand, benefit from, and incorporate Ed Marlo's material as, till now, only those who knew him well can and do, these are books you will want to own and treasure for years to come.

If you truly want to incorporate Marlo's material in your repertoire, you will need to own and study the material as Wesley has. Wesley has greatly eased your task. In tribute to Ed, Wesley wanted these volumes to offer much more, hence his annotations, clarifications, corrections - both logical and grammatic - plus Wesley's insightful personal notes. Many of those notes are complimentary, some critical, but all are informative, often enlightening.

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 wealth of material that Wesley developed, massaged, enhanced, and adapted through his years of extensive performance experience. Among Wesley's creations are full routines inspired by Marlo techniques, built on Marlo foundations, plus new routines - many for the first time in any source.

If you're devoted to card magic, you need to own these volumes. The combination of clarified Marlo material, Wesley's notes, and the original Wesley James routines create and should continue to enhance Marlo's legacy for those that absorb them, and students of Wesley James material will want to explore his material in depth.

If you already own MINT III through VI, and Annotated M.I.N.T. 1963 through 1976, you can now go ahead, knowing that the full run of Marlo In New Tops material is available as more than flat text. At the same time, you'll add to your collection of Wesley James' creations, and benefit from his detailed descriptions, analysis, and historical perspective. Rarely have volumes offered so much to those who are serious about card magic. Some of what you'll read is easy while some is more technically challenging, but it's all been made practical so you can add it to your repertoire. This is the final book of the series but Wesley wanted to make it as easy as possible to locate the material in the 14 volumes, identify the amazingly prolific output and recognize the various sources that have fed and been inspired by Ed and Wesley's work so he has created the Annotated M.I.N.T Complete Index, Contents, and Bibliography, the 15th volume of the series (see the separate announcement).

The entire 1977-1979 collection, plus corrected illustrations, and Wesley's plentiful added Notes and Bonus material are all in this volume. The 135+ page ebook price is just $60 and, as you'll see from the Table of Contents below, you'll want to learn all it offers. Don't wait to be blown away by this mix of older Marlo material and Wesley's insightful Notes and cutting-edge creations. It's all here for you now.
