Hey innovators,
Bit of a different effect for you today!
(because there’s not just one effect, but 11…)
And all of them come from the mind of a master magician and king of stack work:
Si Stebbins.
If you don’t know who Si Stebbins is:
He was a premier card entertainer who gained acclaim in 1884 and performed for vast audiences for most of his life.
But, here’s something we didn’t learn about him very recently…
…Si Stebbins had adverts for Henrietta Cigars in the front and back of his magic books.
(which I guess makes some sense when you think about people like Dai Vernon.)
Below you will find a PDF of his public domain book ‘Card Tricks and The Way They Are Performed’ which we think is EXTREMELY interesting.
It includes Si Stebbins stack PLUS his 4 ‘golden rules’ for stack work…
Read below:
Card Tricks and The Way They Are Performed
Excited to hear what you think of this!
