Variations Revisited by Earl Nelson

The first privately circulated edition of Earl Nelson’s “Variations” debuted in 1978, followed by a widely acclaimed version produced by Mark Wilson in 1979, which is now regarded as a modern classic. After twenty-five years, “Variations” has been completely revitalized. The text has been meticulously corrected, expanded, and re-typeset, while the original illustrations have been replaced with 270 high-quality photographs. The book’s dimensions have also been adjusted for easy reading on a flat surface. Additionally, a new section featuring groundbreaking material, including the revolutionary Miller Variable Placement, has been added. Esteemed magicians have praised this versatile technique after witnessing Earl’s performance. Now, you can explore both Earl’s classic tricks and the latest innovations in “Variations.”
