The Complete Works of Alex Elmsley Vol. 1 & 2 Set

Even in the modern magic world, where a new effect is seemingly released every minute, there are few conjurors who can match the prolific output of one humble Scottish computer programmer: Alex Elmsley. For most of you reading, this man needs no further introduction. One of the first sleights taught to any aspiring card magician is, of course, the Elmsley count. But his body of work extends far beyond the sleight that bears his name. Over the course of his life, he published over 200 unique pieces of cutting-edge magic, spread across different publications and decades. At some point before 1991, legendary magic author Stephen Minch took on the herculean task of hunting down every last word that ever escaped Elmsley's pen. The result is The Collected Works of Alex Elmsely. This colossal two-volume set spans nearly 1000 pages, giving you the most detailed insight into one of magic's most famous minds. And now, after years out of print, both volumes of The Collected Works are back and more beautiful than ever. We've brought this classic release into the modern day, sharpening up old images and reprinting blurry text. There is no better way to experience some of magic's greatest triumphs than with this new edition of The Collected Works of Alex Elmsely.
