The Annotated M.I.N.T. series continues with the release of M.I.N.T III, IV, V, VI, and Annotated M.I.N.T. 1963 – 1965, thanks to the contributions of Ed Marlo and Wesley James. This latest volume further enriches the comprehensive collection of Marlo’s work, complete with Wesley’s detailed annotations and additional material. Although it contains only seven articles, three stand out, with one being groundbreaking and still relevant over 50 years later. This volume also features over a dozen of Wesley’s developments, extensive notes, and references, including crucial clarifications on Marlo’s “Prayer Cull” and practical insights for its application. Ed’s plots, “In Spectator’s Hands” and “Matching Miracle,” are elevated through Wesley’s innovative contributions. The 1966 material from Marlo introduces fresh techniques, subtleties, and plots that have been scarce since the conclusion of the New Tops series, aside from the basic text provided by L & L publications. If those books had sufficed, Ed’s work would be more widely recognized and utilized. Now, with Wesley’s insights, the earlier New Tops articles are more accessible than ever, with nothing omitted and much added.

For those eager to grasp and apply Marlo’s techniques as only those close to him could, these volumes are essential additions to your collection. In honor of Ed, Wesley has ensured these works provide extensive value through annotations, clarifications, and personal notes—some complimentary, others critical, but all informative.

Wesley often remarks, “One can’t perform card magic without acknowledging Ed Marlo.” A friend for over 25 years, Ed inspired a wealth of material that Wesley has refined and adapted through his performance experience. Wesley has created full routines based on Marlo’s techniques, many of which are presented for the first time.

Card magic enthusiasts must own and study these volumes closely. The synergy of clarified Marlo content, Wesley’s notes, and original routines will undoubtedly enhance Marlo’s legacy for those who engage with them. Students of Wesley James will find a wealth of material to explore in-depth.

If you already possess MINT III through VI and M.I.N.T. 1963 – 1965 Annotated, this volume expands your collection of Marlo In New Tops beyond mere text. You will also enrich your library with Wesley James’ creations, benefiting from his thorough descriptions, analyses, and historical context. Few collections offer such depth for serious card magicians. The material ranges from straightforward to technically challenging, all designed to be practical for your repertoire.

This comprehensive collection includes corrected illustrations, Wesley’s extensive notes, and bonus material. The ebook is priced at just $40, and the Table of Contents below reveals the valuable insights it contains.
