Variations Revisited

par Earl Nelson

The first privately circulated edition of Earl Nelson’s Variations was published in 1978. One year later Mark Wilson produced the edition that today is considered a modern classic. Now, twenty-five years later, Variations has undergone a complete transformation. The text has been corrected, expanded and re-typeset, the original line drawings have been replaced with 270 crystal-clear photographs and the dimensions of the book have been changed allowing it to lay flat on the table for ease of study. Plus, an entire section of brand new material has bee added which includes the incredible Miller Variable Placement. Upon seeing Earl perform this versatile move, some of the most knowledgeable magicians in the business called it revolutionary. Now you can have all of Earl’s old material and the best new material simply by revisiting Variations.

Pages: 151 – 10″ x 10″ – Hardcover with dust jacket – Introduction by Dai Vernon
