Why Ebooks?</h2></a>It’s been several years now since Chris Wasshuber and his venture, Lybrary.com, became a part of the landscape of the magic community. To be perfectly frank (and Chris can confirm this), when he and I first started having discussions about ebooks on the various magic message boards I wasn’t just against the concept, I was vehemently against the concept. Not that our arguments were mean spirited (though Chris had - and in fact still has - to put up with some mean spirited comments): they were just spirited. We both argued passionately for our respective sides. <p> However, I argued as if Chris and his venture were a direct attack on&hellip;</div><div class=article><a href="ted-annemanns-five-foot-shelf-of-magic-a-50.html"><h2>Ted Annemann's Five-Foot Shelf of Magic</h2></a><p> Ted Annemann wrote in the <a href="jinx-p-29013.html"><i>Jinx</i></a> No.8 (May 1935) on page 32: <div class=excerpt> <p> Down through the years have come many books on the art of magic and allied subjects. Of late the production of such literature has increased until hardly a week goes by without the appearance of a book, brochure, or manuscript. Many are good and many are not. The titles given here is an impartial and unbiased opinion of my own as to what books constitute a working library on the art of mystifying. <p> Every included work has its value and I take my stand now that the shelf of magic as herein listed covers every phase and known&hellip;</div></div><div class=article><a href="card-illustrator-tool-a-46.html"><h2>Card Illustrator Tool</h2></a>Let us imagine you are writing a book about conjuring and are in need of illustrations of cards. For example, you want to show a setup or stack in the form of a card ribbon. Perhaps some cards are face-up, some are face-down. Or perhaps you want to show a fan of cards with some cards protruding from the fan. You could take photos but nicely done illustrations do look better. What do you do if you are not an illustrator and can't afford to hire one? I have the solution for you, and it is free of charge. <p> All of these illustrations and much more can now be created very easily and professionally&hellip;</div><div class=article><a href="magic-square-effects-a-5.html"><h2>Magic Square Effects</h2></a><p> I have been interested in magic squares longer than I have been interested in magic. And I have been interested in magic for a long time. It was actually a close cousin of the magic square, the magic matrix as described by <a href="martin-gardner-m-226.html">Martin Gardner</a> in one of his mathemagic books, which got me into magic. But that is a story for another day. <p> In this article I want to explain two simple ways to construct an arbitrary 4x4 magic square. <h3>The easiest&hellip;</h3></div><div class=article><a href="a-little-known-tool-to-identify-an-online-pirate-or-copyright-infringer-a-48.html"><h2>A Little Known Tool to Identify an Online Pirate or Copyright Infringer</h2></a>If you have dealt with online piracy and copyright infringement for any amount of time, you will know that it is often very difficult to identify the person who is the infringer. By identifying I mean finding out their real name and address to be able to hold them accountable for the damage they caused. One of the reasons for this difficulty is data privacy laws that prevent companies from sharing the account information of infringers. <p> For example, let us assume you wrote a book and you find that somebody is selling without your permission a digital version of it, an ebook, on Amazon.&hellip;</div><div class=article><a href="jason-englands-17-card-books-to-study-a-14.html"><h2>Jason England's 17 Card Books to Study</h2></a>In September 2010 Theory 11 released a short video clip where Jason England introduced 17 books on card magic any serious card magician should read. It was titled <i>"An instructional download on the things <b>you can't download</b>"</i> (my emphasis). Well, I respect the talented guys at Theory 11, but they are a bit behind the curve when it comes to downloads because even back in 2010, 10 of the 17 books were available as download ebooks from Lybrary.com - and most of them for many years. Several more became available in the following years. <p> I can second Jason England's selection.

At 14 years of age, I made my first big career decision and decided to enter a technical high school to study electronics. This type of school is unique to Austria, a so-called HTL (Higher Technical Learning Institute), where one has school the entire day, including Saturday, and one does not graduate after 4 years as in a regular high school, but only after 5 years. The advantage of that school type is that one graduates with an engineering degree. It was the hardest school I went to, but also the one I learned most including a lot&hellip;</div></div> <p>Lybrary.com is the world's largest ebook retailer and publisher in magic (magic tricks, sleight-of-hand, mentalism, illusions...), gambling (poker, blackjack...), and games (bridge, chess...).
