Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
I don't see any indication that the idea of a "Five Foot Shelf" was borrowed from elsewhere.
But then again, as we all know, "Originality is remembering what you heard, but forgetting where you heard it."
(I forget where I heard that.)
My guess is that Mr. Annemann was riffing on the idea of these volumes, which were likely looking impressive and gathering dust all over America at that time.

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
thanks for taking the time to check that out. it seems pretty obvious that ted annemann got the idea for the five foot shelf from this, the original five foot shelf. so, are there five feet of books???Lisa Cousins noted:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
I would suggest that one can "see" every indication that Annemann's inspiration was the Harvard Classics, by the simple fact that he used the phrase, "five foot shelf of books." In my lecture manuscript, "Theories," published in 1987 and updated several times since then (currently available as "Theories II"), there is a lengthy book list of 200 recommended titles, entitled "The Swiss Classics, a five-foot shelf of magic books." I believe the inspiration is obvious -- as was Annemann's. He would have known of the Harvard Classics.

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
i dont remember him (annemann) mentioning the harvard classics in the jinx anywhere and being a fan of the "five foot shelf" thats the kind of detail that would have caught my mind. i don't doubt that the jinx readers in the day would have known about them and would have gotten ted's joke. it would be interesting to know if any of the jinx style was captured from this set of books????? what was his age when they were published??? 10 or 12 years old????Jamy Ian Swiss suggests:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
My tape measure tells me that my five-foot shelf measures sixty-eight inches. So either there was a brow-slapping moment of "Oh CRAP - we forgot Machiavelli and that whole Voyage of the Beagle thing," or the editors were confident that the intellectually ambitious family members would continuously have several volumes off the shelf.
What year did Annemann propose the five foot shelf of magic books?

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
thanks for doing that. i wonder if we could safely say that a five foot shelf of books could actually measure out to be 68 inches. annemann came up with it in the 1930s or thereabouts. now i wonder if his five foot shelf was 68 inches???? or 58 inches like mine!Lisa Cousins reports:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
thanks for the information on the harvard classics five foot shelf. im curious if any magicians actually have a five foot shelf or if its a metaphor. maybe ill make myself a nice oak five foot shelf and start putting my card magic books on it. what the heck??!?
Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
It would seem that with the passage of time, everything changes in value. Look at the cost of a loaf of bread; a gallon of gas!
A five foot shelf just does not seem apropos any longer!
My own library now consists of five 3 foot shelves for fifteen feet of books! This does not count manuscripts, lecture notes, softbounds, etc.
Videos and DVD's are a whole 'nother department!!
Perhaps, in keeping with these inflated times we should be looking at a much longer "shelf", especially in light of some of the recent but valuable tomes such as Berglas, Collected Almanac, Al Baker, etc.
Just my thoughts.

Tomorrow, when I see other posts on other forums asking which books are the best, I'm going to quietly chuckle to myself and remember your list.
Not only do you have the most comprehensive list of works I've ever seen, you also have your work cut out for you. Have fun!
Also...even though Alex Elmsley's books didn't make your list, I hope you enjoy them anyway...perhaps you could consider building two five-foot shelves.
Uh-oh...here we go again...forget I said that, please... :rolleyes:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
What price an education?
Ignoring the "any" and "all" & "most," a very cursory, no comparison shopping search of the titles gives you a starting price of $2432.33, before postage or any tax.
This also ignores a number of the out of print items. The Edward Brown book can cost more than the Tarbell or Giobbi series. So could Cardcraft.
Lets say there are 75 titles there. If each book has the width of By Forces Unseen or Cardshark, you'd be over by a four and a quarter feet.
Now, mutliply number of books by the time it takes to read...

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
I would suggest making a priority of the Ernest Earick "By Forces Unseen," even though absolutely everything in it is a crazy pipe dream. It's such enjoyable science fiction.
Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
I believe the pruning shears of the esteemed Mr. Chosse may indeed have slipped. The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings should certainly displace my own quirky contribution on such a shelf.
Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
I disagree, Lisa. Although I'm not going to suggest that I can perform the material myself, Denis Behr performs some of it flawlessly, as does Ernie, I'm sure (although I've never seen him).Originally posted by Lisa Cousins:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
Perhaps we need an alcove to house the basics before the specialty stuff.
Somewhere nice for books like Discoverie of Witchcraft, Greater Magic, The Tarbell Course etc.
Then the card shelf can have a full five feet of card stuff.
Does the Alex Elmsley stuff have a place? ***
** oops, Is there room for the Elmsley stuff. IMHO he's one of the field's better thinkers.
You are setting up a coin shelf below that, right?
Perhaps a similar shelf for misc closeup?
What is the distinguishes Almanac and Apocalypse contents for card magic?
BTW, Bravo Denis! Wonderful videos. Great taste in material.

Scotty York material
This is a start of books that deal primarily with, or have a significant portion of thier contents devoted to, magic with coins...
Since this is off the top of my head, I'm sure I've missed things. There are many small pamphlets that deserve mention. For instance, Scotty York on Coins is an important cotribution to the literature. I know I could easily develop a five foot shelf, but this is all must-have stuff. Not sure how it fills out a shelf, but clearly we could come up with five feet without too much trouble...

ok, thanks for the suggestion. since it made the list ill give it a shot even though im not familiar with mr earick i do know mr minch from years ago and know he writes very well. i just placed an order with hatch and randall for it. im looking forward to seeing and learning some new material. thanks again.Lisa Cousins suggests:

Re: Five Foot Shelf of Card Magic???
An observant Forumite might notice my location at the bottom of my posts, and compare that with Ernest Earick's, and perceive that I was teasing a friend. I have witnessed and can attest that Ernie can do that stuff, so when you factor in Denis Behr, you get a minimum of two guys. I myself can do "Covered Flippant" as much as 75% of the time, and it is so surprising and magical when it works. The trouble with it is that when it fails, the cards go flying all over the place and I spend more time retrieving cards from just-out-of-reach places than I do practicing the move.

Paul,
If my memory serves me correctly, "Convincing Coin Magic" was written by Victor Farelli, and the two Ed Marlo titles should be "Bullseye Coin Tricks" and "Coining Magic".

For better and worse, we could add Totally Out of Control to the list of books with significant coin material. The backclip recovery, the coins across, the use of stic-tac on coins and the one handed vanish are quite useful. Might also want to add the Kurtz book, as it has great routining.
