The Daily Magician Library

Well hello there and welcome to your back door straight into The Daily Magician library, we personally love all the books we have here in our collection and while we don’t have as much time to read them as we’d like, we try to break into them as often as we can.

We hope that together we can all grow in our appreciation of classics magic as well as it’s literature, it’s been said before but I’ll repeat it again: “If you want to learn something new, read an old book but if you want to learn something old, read a new book.”

Enjoy,

Benji and Jacob.

P.S. Everything here is in PDF form, if you need help converting it into anything else, make sure to reach out to us whenever you want.

P.S.S. We add to this library regularly, so check back on it every now and then to see if anything takes your fancy.

The Tarbell- Course in Magic


Compiled in 1928 and comprising of 8 volumes The Tarbell course in Magic is essentially an encyclopedia on all related to magic. Many professional magicians have based their careers on these books. If you have an interest in the classics, these are the books for you. If you want a course in magic that you will revisit over an over, again this is the collection you need. If you want more magic than you can ever perfect, look no further. The Tarbell course in magic is regarded as a classic bible of magic, and a classic for good reason as it has survived the test of time.
