Jeff,
As a voracious magic book lover/reader/writer, I always enjoy your reviews. I have to say I laughed more on this one than any other. (Offline, would you mind sharing the name of the anonymous off-the-record source you interviewed? I like him.) I enjoyed the entire review, but you had me at the first definition of “prodigious.”
Keep up the great work!
Steve
P.S. I feel your pain on the Gamecocks. But we alumni save a lot of money on team-related merchandise (it’s cheaper when your team doesn’t win) and we’ve never had to invest in a championship hat or jersey (so I guess we are winners of a sort) .
Glad you laughed - it seemed only fitting to make it a more humorous review than usual! 😁 Thanks for dropping in👍
I’m also an accountant and magician - glad to know I’m in such great company. I don’t know much about Steve Beam - thanks for this video introducing us to him.
Absolutely - you'll find him as funny and charming as we are as magical accountants! 🤔😉😄
Jeff, what a well-crafted, cleverly-concocted review!!! All the time and effort you put forth in composing this was certainly worthy of Steve's BOOKS (not necessarily Steve). Yes, it's an under-appreciated series, partly due to the lack of a snappy title. This is why early on in the series I urged him to change the title. Suggestions included, but were not limited to: Safe Alternatives to the Bullet-Catching Trick; Slighting the Sleight; Math-based Tricks Easy as Pi; For Card College Drop-Outs; Steve Beam's Daughter's College Fund; Dressing up Your Act: Clothes Up Card Tricks; Tarheel's Tarbell #9; The Royal Road Less Travelled to Card Tricks; Card Tricks for Magicians Who Aren't Manipulative; Card Tricks that Get You Tips - On Other Careers; Semi- and Fully Automatic Card Tricks: A Balanced Beam; More Further Inner Outer Down Under Card Tricks; Sunbeams: Radiant Reflections from Steve; Moonbeams: Assinine Reflections from Steve; A Pack of Pickled Pasteboards: The Drunken Poker Deal and Other Card Tricks; The Creme of Beam's Dream Team Schemes.
Those alternate titles ... 🤔😄🤣🤣🤣👍
If it wasn't for the invention of playing cards, Steve would be driving a truck. We have been friends for decades, plus I contributed to many of these books in one way or another, so naming a favorite is tough. Quadruple Prediction from Volume 1 is wonderful because it keeps you on your toes when performing it. The World's Greatest Magician (from the same volume) has also put a lot of food on the family table...too funny! One of the best things about the series is the introduction-chapters featuring people like Lewis Jones, Ramon Rioboo, and Woody Aragon. Steve introduced them to us long before any of them were well-known within the industry. By the way, Lucky 13 entertains laypeople and hurts magicians.
Thanks so much for posting that, Mick! Great suggestions all!! 👍
This was your best review yet! I love these books, but I got a kick out of humor! That was fun and put me in a great mood! Thank you! I got a kick out of the introduction in Marty Kane's book by Steve Beam. When I started reading it he starts ribbing Marty. I was thinking, "I thought they were friends". Then the last paragraph makes it apparent that he was just messing around. I love the humor in these books. Thank you Steve Beam!
Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed the review and even more, the books!!!
One of the best buys in magic along with Harry Lorayne's Apocalypse
Glad you think so. What are some of your favorites? 🤔
@@EruditeMagicThe ones I liked the most I have done on my you tube channel. Just a hobbyist who used to own a magic store back in the day. Just did a couple controls out of his vol. 2 book by Tom Craven called the Bounce Control.
Where was your magic shop?
@@EruditeMagic Jeff, it was in Feeding Hills, MA about 90 minutes from Boston. We had some great lectures, Daryl, Paul Harris, Jay Sankey, Mike Ammar, Gary Kurtz, Aldo Colombini, Tom Craven and other fine magicians.
Sounds awesome! I miss those lectures...hopefully soon!
I own the entire series, the entire Trapdoor and and some of Steve Beam's other work. Every one of the books is worth owning.
Do you have a favorite?
@@EruditeMagic I think that all of Steve's work has merit. I think Trapdoor probably gets my nod only because the humor is so good above and over the high quality of the tricks.
Good enough reason for me! Thanks for sharing
Nice overview,
I met Steve first on-line in the early days of the Internet on IRC (similar to what today is called Discord). I got to meet him in person at a convention, I think it may have been Abbotts Close Up. He performed Multiple Impact, which all of us in attendance absolutely loved. He was fantastic.
Thanks for sharing your story. I had the pleasure of seeing Steve perform Multiple Impact at TRICS - November 2019. What a great routine!!
Loved you video on Steve. I have been looking for his books and did not realize he was selling them directly. Should have known! Anyway, loved your review. Soon the place an order!
So glad you enjoyed it - thanks for watching and taking time to comment!
Thank you for your review. Scarne's, Aronson, Lorayne, Schultz, Curry, Walton, Giobbi & Harlan are where I've mined for effects and have always wondered what is up with Beam's work. Thanks again!
You bet! 👍
Wow!luved it!Steve Beam looks like he’s written some fab semi automatic card trick books!I will definitely take a look at his work.Thanks for the interesting review!Does Steve just cater for U.S.audiences or is he a worldwide distributor?
If you order from him, he can give you postage costs to just about anywhere.
@@donunicycle Thank you.
I'm trying to look for a wash control. Anyone know which volume that would be in? I'm told 10-12
I'm going out on a limb here and assuming you're looking for the shuffle process from "The Ace of Hearts Trick" by Giancarlo Scalia on page 203 of Volume XI
Thanks for this. Steve's books are fantastic. Great review 👍😊👍😊😊👍👏👏👍😊👍
Thanks for the comment, Robert! The books are delightful‼️
@@EruditeMagic I have 5 of these books, but is there one or two in particular that people prefer over the others.
Not of which I'm aware. I think it largely depends on your tastes and preferences as a performer

I've tested all web sites, and all except 1 were scams. It's name is Gamecrook.
How can people get scammed by those surveys. GameCrook does work 1/1 :)
