LATEST NEWS MacMillan's International Magic Convention in London, November 2012. We were pleased to meet up with old friends at the MacMillan's International Magic Convention and to make new friends. One old friend that we were pleased to meet up with was Simon Drake who gave his first ever lecture to magicians at the Convention and opened the Gala Show. Special thanks to Simon for his generous praise of Patrick Page and acnowledgement of Patrick's huge contribution in assisting him with his career in magic. Simon concluded his lecture by repeating his recommendation that if you want to know about magic. "Buy the Magic Page by Page Book". Below is a card that Simon sent Patrick in 1989 to thank him for his help and advice with the now legendary tv series "The Secret Cabaret". One new friend that we met was the Las Vegas star, Jeff McBride who came by our stand to buy his copy of Magic Page by Page.

REVIEWS OF MAGIC PAGE BY PAGE
We have had some great reviews of the book from some of the leading magic magazines, and below are some excerpts from these and comments from just a few of the magicians who have read the book:
"This book is for everyone - close up magicians, stage magicians, cardmen, coin workers, general magic types, amateurs and pros alike. Historians, lovers of the anecdotal oral history of magic - but above all for me this is a book for workers."
"And this is a book for every time as well. Not merely every kind of magic. Not just for amateur and professional alike, but also for the expert as well as the beginner".
Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii Magazine March 2012 Book Review.
"Who is the book for? Well, if you like close up magic you will find something you like inside. If you prefer stage work, then you will also find something good. But maybe you work in comedy clubs or some other parlour type venue..yes, there will be something there for you too. In short, Magic Page by Page has something for everyone. The book may have been a long time coming, but when you get your copy you will see that it was worth the wait to read about a great magician and the great magic he created".
Will Houston, Magic Circular Magazine February 2012 Book Review.
"This is a whopping book. It measures 12" x 9", weighs nearly 1.7kg runs to 368 high quality gloss pages and features a huge number of photographs and line drawing illustrations".
Magic Page by Page is a fantastic book that should be on every magician's bookshelf. And not just on the shelf, nice though it will look sitting there, but should be a book that is studied and the material used. If you only buy one book this year, make sure it's this one".
Mark Leveridge, MSM Magicseen Magazine March 2012 Book Review.
"There's no way to encapsulate Patrick Page's enormous contributions to magic, or his boundless mental storehouse of magical knowledge, in the pages of a book. There were too many mental nuggets of wisdom in his head to put them all down on paper. But Magic Page by Page comes close".
"Everyone wins. Page and his family win because a big book, a legacy book has been published. But just as importantly readers win because Patrick Page with the assistance of editor Matthew Field, managed to chronicle the various and sundry tricks he invented, refined, marketed and demonstrated over a lifetime in the conjuring business".
"Patrick Page was one of magic's great treasures. He was a link to the past and a repository of information both secret and public. Now you have the opportunity to reach into that repository. Take advantage of it".
Gabe Fajuri, Magic Magazine March 2012 Book Review.
"if a person was starting out in magic and this book was the only one they ever had, the wisdom and simplicity therein would be sufficient to become a first rate entertainer"
Simon Drake
"How nice it was to hear Pat's voice again. When you read the book, it's like he's talking to you".
Pete Firman
"Magic Page by Page is the new book of the definitive magic of Patrick Page and written by the man himself. This truly IS a magic book and I selfishly hope supplies are limited".
Jerry Sadowitz

GENERAL INFORMATION
When Patrick passed away in February 2010, he left behind a huge treasure trove - his life's work in magic. This includes many of his previously published books, articles on magic, pamphlets, instructional DVDs, and of course his magic inventions. But there is so much more that he never got around to making available ie magical effects and recordings of his interviews with famous magicians, many of whom are no longer with us. In these interviews we get a unique insight into a world of magic and entertainment from a bygone era. He also left behind his large collection of photos and memorabilia going back to the late 19th Century, of performers he met and counted among his friends. This huge archive of photographic material was collected over many years.
