The collected Almanac

Richard's Almanac was acclaimed as one of the finest newsletters ever  devoted to close-up magic. Its publication from 1982 to 1987 was a  highlight in the history of close-up magic periodicals. And now, all  four hundred pages of the original newsletter, containing tricks from  the greatest close-up magicians of our time, have been reprinted in a  beautiful hardcover volume. Richard's Almanac reveals dozens of  brilliant routines from Vernon, Jennings, Slydini, Klause, Racherbaumer,  Mario, Sankey, Goldstein, Cervon, Carney, Gallo, and many others, most  of which have never ever been published anywhere else! This is the only  place you can read them! And it's a treasure trove of astounding  creations in the art of close-up magic.

Over 175 superb routines  with cards, coins and impromptu magic with everyday items such as rings,  bills, spoons, pens, rubber bands, matches, dice, wristwatches, and  seashells. Over 400 pages, 800 beautiful line drawings, a 50-page bonus  section with a dozen routines not in the original newsletter are  included. A BULL update and retrospective, and a peek at the Japanese  edition of Richard's Almanac, plus a complete cross referenced index  with cover art by Sid Lorraine also are part of this extensive work.
