Pure Imagination by Scott Robinson

Pure Imagination – Scott Robinson

Pure Imagination by Scott Robinson is a substantial collection of practical magic, bringing together more than two decades of material that was previously scattered across limited publications, lecture notes, and hard-to-find sources. This volume collects Scott Robinson’s best-known ideas into one beautifully produced edition.

Described by John Campbell and Andi Gladwin, the book contains 46 audience-tested routines covering a wide range of close-up magic. The material blends strong visual magic with practical construction, combining highly deceptive effects with engaging presentations. Many routines have been refined through years of real-world performance and are designed as reliable working material.

Among the highlights is Robinson’s impromptu Invisible Deck concept, Riding The Wave, a routine that has influenced many later handlings. The book also includes coin magic, Monte routines, family-friendly material, and more technically demanding sleight-of-hand pieces for advanced performers.

The selection offers a balanced mix of accessible effects and more challenging routines. While much of the material relies on sleight of hand, there are also simpler pieces with strong visual impact, making the book appealing to a broad range of magicians.

Production quality is a major feature of Pure Imagination. The large-format 10" x 10" hardcover includes 304 heavyweight glossy pages, over 740 full-color photographs, a satin cover, and a bound-in ribbon bookmark, making it both a practical reference and an impressive collector’s volume.
