HIDDEN GEMS – Stand-Up Edition
Brilliant buried magic and mentalism researched by yours truly.
One of the questions I get asked all the time is, "Where can I find great stand-up material?" There seem to be the three or four well-known books that everyone turns to, and beyond that very few options.

Not anymore!
Hidden Gems - Stand-Up contains over one hundred and ninety entries from my secret notebooks, listing marvelous magic and mentalism tricks and routines from a wide variety of books and magazines.
Most of this incredible collection of recommendations has previously been
spread across the multiple volumes of the acclaimed Hidden Gems series; now for the first time ALL the stand-up material is collected in one place.
This
new Edition uncovers fantastic material from Hart, Smith, Regal, Richardson, Maue, Graham, Dyne, Minch, Bloom, Acer, Steinmeyer, McLeod, Creasey, Jermay, Hilford, Anderson, Stone, Goldstein, Earle and dozens of others.
Plus - a selection of brand new entries.
I also tip my THREE favourite stand-up tricks ever, multiple practical, killer tricks perfect for stand-up AND stage shows that you have never seen before, FIVE fantastic tricks that use no props whatsoever, the best Magic Square presentation, and the best demonstration of astral projection ever released (which nobody is doing and you'll use forever!)
I also tip my THREE favourite stand-up tricks ever, multiple practical, killer tricks perfect for stand-up AND stage shows that you have never seen before, FIVE fantastic tricks that use no props whatsoever, the best Magic Square presentation, and the best demonstration of astral projection ever released (which nobody is doing and you'll use forever!)
These are tricks that
define the very concept of 'hidden in print'. In each entry I list the
trick, where you can find it, why I love it and why YOU should look it
up. I always describe the effect, occasionally the presentation, but
NEVER the method.
Most are in books that you already own (or should!), some are in magazines that you can easily get access to, whilst the odd one or two entries will send you on a major SHM/MagicWeek/eBay hunt. Happy days!
If you are on the lookout for ELITE MATERIAL that no one else is doing (and who isn't?!) then you will find a ton of it in here.
Appreciation for Hidden Gems:
“I confess that I would prefer to NOT recommend this eBook, purely for selfish reasons. It’s a treasure chest that will unlock your library and send you racing to fill in any gaps. And I just had to buy a book I didn’t have. This eBook is going to cost me a ****ing fortune!”

“In magic part of our daily ritual is to look for the hidden gems, the real treasures, the real magic. Mark Elsdon is one of the best read 'treasure' hunters I know of. When he points out a vein of treasure I explore. In this book Mark doesn’t teach tricks he’s created. Instead he points out sources and effects that you should explore. He’s got great taste in material, meaning you will skip a lot of fodder and simply find some uncovered miracles. If you love finding great magic this book will be a treasure map you will delight in.”
