Forty years ago, Ed Marlo made a stunning, memorable return to the stage in St. Louis, presenting his first lecture in thirty-five years: a performance and lecture that was sublime. People still talk about what a momentous moment it was.

In concert with the 40th anniversary of that event, we are announcing a BRAND NEW 8.5 x 11 in.,  140 page Smyth-sewn, two pound two ounce, hardbound book chock full of the very best commercial magic from our friend and mentor Ed Marlo.

This is first NEW hardbound Ed Marlo book in 42 years, and only the second hardbound Marlo book ever produced. Written completely from scratch by two people that intimately knew and studied under Ed Marlo-- for over fifteen years.  You'll find thirty-four complete routines, over thirty-five sleights, moves, and subtleties all well-explained with some seventy-eight illustrations.

Kevin Kelly and Randy Wakeman have carefully documented their favorite and most effective Marlo and Marlo-inspired routines and sleights, and published them all under one cover. These are rock-solid, audience tested and approved pieces that you will treasure, as we have. This is the first fresh look at Ed Marlo and his stunning card magic in over four decades. Ed Marlo 40 Years Later contains stories and information that you will not find anywhere else. Much of this treasured material has never seen print before. Much of this platinum Marlo material has never before been properly or accurately described.

"A must have for any cardman." -- Harrison Carroll

"I fully realize that most cardicians don't have a complete collection of Marlo's creations (I don't). That said, Ed Marlo Forty Years Later offers those interested in pursing the fine art of card magic the opportunity to take a deep dive into Marlo's world. I've been a huge fan of Ed Marlo's card magic for most of my adult life (still am), and he was the most prolific cardician to ever pick up a deck of cards. I highly recommend this wonderful publication."

-- Tom Gagnon

"Ed Marlo Forty Years Later… is a brilliant collection of genius card sleights, subtle powerful methods and cut to the chase… knock ‘em dead routines. Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelly have created the must have book of the year!"

PS: The last routine in the book is worth its weight in magic gold.

 -- Joe Monti

"I just fooled myself with the switch explained in the "Marlovian Mystery Card." Pardon me while I pause and dwell on this."

 -- David Regal

What is so cool about this book is that Randy and Kevin captured the feeling of sitting at Ed's table and witnessing Ed's card genius. These are some of Kevin and Randy's favorite Marlo routines along with their own individual touches. There's not just routines, but moves and new stuff that I didn't know existed... and I consider myself a good Marlo student. I really highly recommend you get this book.

-- Allan Ackerman

Really a lovely book with so many deep cuts and top choices you will love to use. Many small (but huge) details I didn’t know I needed-- and some amazing powerhouse routines I hadn’t found (or recognized for what they were). Congratulations and thanks to you both!!!

--Aaron Fisher

"It isn’t often these days that you meet people who truly knew Marlo and stood by him as loyal confidants. Randy Wakeman and Kevin Kelly are two of those rare people. Their bond with Ed was real, lasting, and filled with respect. This tribute to Marlo has been long overdue and I can’t think of two better people to bring it to life than Randy and Kevin. Inside these pages, you will find more than magic. Yes, you’ll discover wonderful routines and carefully chosen Marlo miracles. Yes, you’ll pick up many sleights and ideas. But more importantly, you’ll be welcomed into the atmosphere of Ed’s world.

40 Years Later is a long time to wait, however, it’s worth it!" -- Bill Malone

Ed Marlo Forty Years Later celebrates Eddie's legacy, in the form of practical, astonishing routines and techniques, several never before published, that will give you and your audiences countless years of enjoyment. This is the best book on commercial Marlo Magic ever written.
