Personal Magic – The Secret Books of Eric Lewis (Volumes 1–4)

Uncover one of magic’s most treasured literary legacies. Personal Magic – The Secret Books of Eric Lewis is a rare and historic publication, now finally available to the magic community. Each volume is sold individually and preserves the original style, voice, and visual character of Eric Lewis’ private notebooks — previously seen only by a select few and never intended for wide release.

Each book features meticulously reproduced typewritten pages, hand-drawn watercolor illustrations, and beautifully preserved magical thinking from a lifetime of performing, research, and collaboration. Inside every volume, you will find 97 powerful magic effects covering close-up magic, stage routines, children’s magic, mentalism, and more — including unpublished ideas, private notes, and contributions from legendary creators such as Annemann, Paul Curry, Ed Marlo, Robert Harbin, Stewart James, Cy Endfield, Harlan Tarbell, Clayton Rawson, Milton Kort, and others.

Every volume stands on its own and may be purchased separately. Whether you are a historian, performer, collector, or creator, Personal Magic is a must-have cornerstone in serious magic literature.
