Having been out of print for nearly twenty-five years, copies of Earl Nelson's Variations have fetched over $200, and no wonder. Earl has twice been voted Close-Up Magician of the Year at the Magic Castle and today he is the Castle's resident magician. His book of card, coin and finger-ring magic is today considered a classic. Now, finally, Earl's book is back bigger and better than ever. Though it contains all of the original material, Variations Revisited is definitely not a reprint. The original text has been corrected and expanded, there are 270 new, crystal-clear photographs, the new size allows it to lay flat on the table for ease of study and there is an entire section of brand new material. It is here you will find the incredible Miller Variable Placement. Upon seeing Earl perform this versatile move, some of the most knowledgable magicians in the business called it revolutionary.
151 pages, introduction by Dai Vernon, hardbound with a striking dustjacket.
