The Fred Braue Notebooks - Volumes #1-8 Set
Delivery: please allow 5–8 business days.
The rare, never-completed notebooks of the co-author of Royal Road to Card Magic and Expert Card Technique.
When Fred Braue died in 1962 he left behind around 1,000 typewritten pages of unpublished magic, recorded over 30 years. Jeff Busby planned to publish it all in 15 volumes, but only 8 were ever released. This is a complete, unused set of those 8 volumes.
Most of the material is Braue's own card magic: sleights, close-up routines and platform card work, including material cut from Expert Card Technique and Royal Road to Card Magic. You'll also find his Sympathetic Silks, Linking Rings and coin work, his five-ball Cups and Balls routine, and a description of the ball vanish Max Malini used. His session notes record material from Charlie Miller, Dai Vernon, T. Nelson Downs, Max Malini, Nate Leipzig, Tenkai and others.
The publisher also offers buyers of the set a free 235-page PDF, The Unpublished Fred Braue Notebooks, built from Busby's own drafts for volumes 9 and 10.
