We at SME have been fielding many request asking "when" and "if" the Neal Scyer - Black Book, and Neal Scryer - White Book will be available again - or if there is anyway we can procure some. Good News! The forthcoming project from Scryer and Webster, is a combining of the two first books that put Scryer on the map. Those books have been out of print for years, and never before have been offered in one book.

This is Highly Recommended reading from a real worker "in the know" and that "knows all!" Thanks to both Richard Webster and Neal Scryer for allowing us to offer this new book to our esteemed customers!

Original Ad Copy for The Black Book:
Neal Scryer is the pseudonym of a successful New York mentalist and psychic. He is highly regarded by his peers, and has been described as a "creative genius." Over the years, he has helped many top mentalists develop unique presentations. In this book, he shares many of the ideas that have made him so successful.

These include: 17 ideas using the Psychometry from A to Z principle, Neal's Killer Q & A routine, 5 ideas using the pendulum, 2 effects with business cards, 1 with playing cards, and 1 with Tarot cards, Synchronistic Dreams - you and your client experience the same dream. Ted Karmilovich said this effect was "brilliant."

Paper Bag Psychometry: a bizarre effect using a voodoo doll - that helps his clients, a chapter called "The Real Thing." Neal is a psychic, and in this chapter explains how he does genuine psychometry, helps people meet their spirit guides, answers questions, solves people's problems, uses his guides to help others, and advocates humming. The book also includes a blessing ritual that Neal performs at the end of his private readings.

This book contains all the ideas and secrets that have brought him fame and success as both an entertainer and a psychic reader. None of the effects in this book are hard to do.

Most are impromptu, and use simple props, such as a pendulum, business cards, Tarot cards, and playing cards. Some effects use no props at all. Some of the effects are close-up, but most can be performed for both small and large groups. Neal Scryer is a psychic as well as a psychic entertainer. Consequently, a number of the ideas in this book involve no trickery, as they are "the real thing."

White Book Original Ad Copy: We're very excited to feature the second series from "The Practical Psychic's Little Book from Neal Scyer and Richard Webster.

Neal's first book, The Practical Psychic's Little Black Book, caused a sensation in the psychic world when it was published in early 2011. Almost everyone who bought that book immediately asked to be put on the waiting list for the next one. This book is almost twice as long as the first, and contains more than 70 effects and routines that Neal uses on a regular basis. None of them is hard to do, and they all use simple props and methods.

In this book, along with ideas using the A to Z principle, the PATEO force, the pendulum, and effects with cards, Neal includes chapters on how to use past lives and angels in your psychic - and psychic entertainment - work. Neal Scryer is a psychic as well as a psychic entertainer; consequently, a number of ideas in this book contain no trickery, as they are "the real thing."

This book is essential reading for any serious psychic/psychic entertainer. "Neal Scryer was a legend long before 'The Practical Psychic's Little Black Book' ever surfaced and will continue his rise to fame and greatness with this latest offering.

That stated, I am very excited to announce the latest Scryer/Webster project - which will contain "both" The White and Black book, in hardback - with new artwork.

If you are interested in reserving a copy of this hard back edition - you can do so at this time. As in previous pre-sale Scryer/Webster Products - Stevens Magic Emporium will NOT charge your account until the book ships.

Testimonials:Black and White

"We live in an information age. The problem is there is much information. Much of it is bad and, these days, the trick is to find the right information. If you want to do mentalism at its highest level, pure mentalism that requires almost no props, get the White and Black Book by Neal Scryer and Richard Webster. This dual collection, now in a beautiful hardbound edition, represents material that has already been tested by the masters and is just waiting for your study. I personally don't collect books or props. If I can't use it, I get rid of it. Black and White is material I won't part with. Neither will a slew of other workers. That should tell you something." - Richard Osterlind (03.15.13).

There are only a few "insider" books that I would withhold from the general public. This is one of them. The ideas, effects and strategies contained within the 91 pages of this little tome are priceless. That's a large claim to make, but in this case it's absolutely true.

I have made my living with mentalism for many years and if you're interested in how a clever psychic turns a simple system into what I believe to be millions of dollars, read this book. There are only a few "insider" books that I would withhold from the general public. This is one of them. The ideas, effects and strategies contained within the 91 pages of this little tome are priceless. That's a large claim to make, but in this case it's absolutely true.

I have made my living with mentalism for many years and if you're interested in how a clever psychic turns a simple system into what I believe to be millions of dollars, read this book. I have the pleasure to know "Neal", although it isn't his real name, and he is the Winston Wolfe of the psychic market. He thinks fast and he talks fast, but if you listen, you'll hear the voice of experience. You, gentle reader, don't have to listen because he's written it all down for you to enjoy. I seldom write reviews or endorsements, but this is a book that should be on every mentalist's bookshelf, even for its potential alone! - Docc Hilford - 2011

"The Practical Psychic's Little Black Book is to a Professional Working Reader what Psychological Subtleties is to a Mentalist" - Sebastian Black

"This is one of the best books for the reader and mentalist that I have seen in many a year. I use several things from it all the time. Of the many wonderful things in this book is the effect ‘Last One Standing' which I do over the phone. Great stuff in this book!," - Tony Razzano - past president, PEA"

Richard Webster broke new ground for psychic readers and entertainers with his "A to Z Psychometry" book and it's still hugely valuable today to anyone who gives readings. However, one person took the concept and really ran with it. His pen name is Neal Scryer and he joined forces with Richard to write what I consider to be a "top shelf" book. Reputation-making stuff. After you digest this book you'll NEVER be stuck. It will open up your mind and your spirit to the full potential available to you as a reader. I love everything in the book, from cover to cover... you just KNOW when you are reading "real-world" stuff compared to arm-chair theory. Neal has certainly been there and knows his stuff.

But my favorite concept is a MIRACLE CLASS idea. Use this ONE idea and you'll be a legend. Neal was reluctant to tip the idea on page 53. I can see why. You could start a cult with that one idea that Ted Karmilovich called "brilliant."

Honest-to-God, if Richard had only asked me before he published it I would have forced him to release that ONE IDEA separately for $1000.00. Do it and your sitter will NEVER forget you. Ever.

The back cover sums it up perfect: "The Practical Psychic's Little Black Book" was written for psychics and psychic entertainers. It is not suitable for hobbyists or people who perform only occasionally." I agree, and hope it only gets in the right hands and stays there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Stuart Cumberland

This is fabulous book is a thought provoking read as well as a gold mine chockfull of practical advice for the readers' and Psychic Entertainers. Mr. Scryer and Mr. Webster are exceptionally creative persons, with a long tenure for producing high quality material. This book proves this to be true once again... I highly recommend The Practical Psychic's Little Black Book. - Marco Rubella - Italy

'The Practical Psychic's Little White Book' is now and has been my own most anticipated release of 2011, and few things have me more excited! Knowing what I do of the contents and the man behind them, this one is a no-brainer. I've long maintained that if you're not actively working with material of Neal's caliber, you're working at a severe disadvantage. Get this book and prosper!" - Jerome Finley

'Once in a generation, one emerges from the shadows to share the inner-workings of priceless secrets. Neal Scryer is in a caliber all his own. For those that have read his first book, 'The Practical Little Psychic's Black Book', no recommendation is needed... I sincerely suggest to everyone that values "Psychic Entertainment" to get 'The Practical Psychic's Little White Book' before it departs back into the shadows from which it came.' - Ron Chavis

"Neal shares with us the beautiful simplicity of a modern day psychic. He shares his creativity, the fact that he cares about people, and how poignant his presentations and thoughts are too. Should be on every mystery entertainer's bookshelf, well read, and cherished." - Iain Dunford UK.

"Scryer and Webster unequivocally are the best at what they do" - Marc Salem

Neil Scryer's latest work, "The Practical Psychic's Little White Book" is (along with its predecessor) essential reading for any mentalist interested in learning the "underground" secrets of one of the world's top readers and mentalists. Highly recommended. - Bob Cassidy

"Yet another masterpiece from the worlds most experienced and entertaining psychic. If you want to learn to be psychic, then this book is a must have. Building on his first phenomenal release, 'White' takes us even further into the mind of Neal Scryer." - Colin McLeod

Neal Scryer's material is first - class. It's what mentalism is all about. Workers and non- workers will find much use for his ideas and routines. - Ted Karmilovich

"Despite having done readings for the past 20 years, when Neal talks about the subject, I shut up (something which I rarely do) and listen." - Paolo Cavalli

Johnny Long Speaks about life at Gene Devoe's Magic Shop in St. Louis.

The Ken Brooke Magic Range
The history of our relationship with
Ken Brooke & Paul Stone.

After opening Stevens Magic Emporium in 1975-and having a passion for our "Art Of Magic"-I kept hearing from our many magic friends that there was a special shop in London, England, where all of the professional magicians would congregate, not only in Great Britain, but in all of Europe.

The top minds in magic were regular visitors and the magic shop's name was-Ken Brooke's Magic Range - CLICK HERE. I heard that Ken was the TOP magic demonstrator at magic conventions. This continued through the late 70's and finally we thought it would be nice to bring Ken Brooke to America for a Desert Magic Seminar event. Jay Marshall had endorsed the idea and we, at that time, honored Ken with the Seminar Award for all that he had contributed to the magic world all his life! I remember the tears that flowed down his face with this adulation that we bestowed upon him.

I also heard again, by virtue of Paul Stone, that Ken truly was the finest demonstrator of magic of that time! Ken was not well (health-wise) and Paul Stone was looking after him and purchased the rights to all of Ken's effects. This helped Ken as well as he was in need of help with his bad health.

So, through Paul Stone we purchased the rights to the Ken Brooke Magic Range for North America in 1982 and have held the rights ever since! We paid Paul Stone not only for distribution rights but also for all of the card effects of Ken's that we were to make up ourselves! To this day, we are still very proud to maintain these rights and distribute Ken's items to our customers.

In 2006, our agreement with Paul Stone was brought up to date and contracted, once again, and we look forward to bringing the magic fraternity these high profile items for years to come!

You will never be regretful with any of Ken's routines and effects as they are all professional and most important commercial! (This means they have been tried and proved with public audiences.)

In closing, thank you for your past business and we look forward to having more fun and business with you in the future!

Joe, Martha & Mark Stevens

Absolutely terrible news came today that affected all at Stevens Magic, and that of all who knew and befriended Robert J. Albo, affectionaly known as "Doc Albo." But without question those most affected were the Albo family. As such, our sincere condolences to Majorie Albo (Doc's warm and wonderful wife and life partner), in addition to the rest of the Albo family.

My father Joe was really hit hard when he learned this news and struggled considerably throughout the day trying to come to grips with this unfortunate reality. It's not often I see my father so distraught, and rarer yet is seeing him emotional but distraught and emotional he is and remains. My father rarely goes home early from the office but today, after trying to work, he realized his grief was overwhelming and thus went home. I would hear him from my office talking to himself stating, "I can't believe it."

Joe kept saying how he was looking forward to being able to see Doc at this years World Magic Seminar, only a few days from now. As Doc was interested in some of Michael Baker's Okito inspired apparatus. I also know the lack of Doc's presence will be strong this year.

Robert Albo was a man that was respected and revered in more ways then most including his medical career which spanned more then half a century, both in private practice as well as being one of the team doctors for the Oakland Raiders. In fact several sporting organizations such as Sports Illustrated, The Oakland Raiders and others have posted this terrible loss which we have linked in this article. As an avid sports athelete and a very talented one at that, he was involved in sports both in the activity sense and later in life in the management via administration of medical help for the players.

One more then one occasion I remember my mother Martha and Joe, attending Oakland Raider football games as Doc's and Majorie's guests. I remeber a long, long time ago when I was lucky enough to travel with my parents to San Francisco where we would meet up with Marvin Burger (Buma Sr.), and Doc Albo. Doc's relationship continued after Buma Sr., (Marvin) passed with Mark Burger (Buma Jr.). I also remember when my sister filmed the original Okito and Thayer Video series at ABC Affiliate studios here in Wichita, and Doc flew in with his collection. I remember every time Doc would call, regardless of who answered the phone, he was amazingly cordial and respectful and had a true talent for exuding a sense of class and power.

Sports Illustrated Archives on Doc Albo - Click Here.

Doc was a person that emulated class and was classy to everyone regardless of their stature he treated all people with respect and he had a aura about him that was strong that featured positive energy - a lot of it.

Just last June in 2010 Deana Murray did an article on Doc Albo, exclusively for Stevens Magic, we thought it appropriate to provide you with a direct link to this article for those interested.

On the PDF, look for the TV icon close to the price, if there is one that means there is a good chance it's already up on the site ready to view. At this time, there are a few unique videos that have not been recorded, but will be soon.

Press Release:

The Magic Pub is a forum open to all magicians, mentalists and bizarrists. It offers a platform to hear everyone's true thoughts and opinions. With a variety of rooms and a comfortable atmosphere, it is ran by an excellent staff that values our fraternity. They welcome all practitioners whether professional or hobbyist. The door is open and there's a stool waiting on you at the pub.

We got a nice shipment of Fakini Products! We took this special photo with just the balls and tubes to highlight the broad spectrum of different colors available at Stevens Magic Emporium.

As is often the case, some of these will go quickly - so at the risk of sounding like a "pitch" or attempting to induce a sense of panic - we suggest you turn your order in ASAP on any Fakini Items you have been thinking about.

Still the brand everyone talks about - and for good reason. Personally for me - the Prestige Red sets are gorgeous. A little triva, Frank actually casted the Prestige Red balls specifically for the Move of the same name!

Happy Shopping!

For those of you that prefer a hard copy - it is "FREE" with any purchase - while supplies last! This has been a very successful catalog because it focuses primarily on lower-priced, quality products. Hey we all can't afford Kerry Pollock's Enghanted Bottle or Kellar O'Neil's Mystic Kettle (but just in case you can - they are avaialble at Stevens Magic "hint-hint").

Seriously, this catalog is doing very well because it provides a nice sampling of quality at great prices. For example, there are 94 items $50 and below! 18 items priced from $51-$75. 12 items price over $76.00. All Great Winners - Tried and Tested.

Naturally we encourage you to check it out - either by clicking on the link above, or requesting a copy when you place your order. If you already get our 6-7 hard copy catalogs we send each year - Great! You can keep them coming by making occasional purchases. Each time you place an order your "catalog subsription" is updated. Too many times we have people call us and say, "Hey, I haven't gotten a catlog from you guys for over a year!" Unfortunately, (as we hate not hearing from you), it because there has been no purchases. The print catalog in addition to being an exceptionally difficult challenge to put out internally, has become even more expensive to do so.

The cost of printing has risen dramatically, along with coding and then labeling and packaging. Then there is the mailing costs and return mailing cost for people that have moved with no forwarding address - YIKES! It will make you run for the hills! No wonder Joe wants to go Fishing in the Summer time!

Don't get me wrong - we still love putting together these catalogs! We just need your support to keep doing it and also your support to keep sending them to you!

Note: If you order this catalog with an order and we are out of it, we will substitute it with another catalog.
