At 12 he began his career, at 18 he was already working as an assistant to the famous illusionist RAMSES and at 24 he started his own stage program under the title
“The Magic Impressionist.”
We're talking about Maurice Fogel , arguably the "world's most famous mind-reading artist" of the 20th century... Anyone who successfully performs a “Just Change Effect” on stage in front of 2,000 spectators and an “Executioner Illusion” at a Christian community festival must have a special charisma and enormous skill.
No wonder, then, that in the 1960s, the Supreme Magic Company in Great Britain proudly announced that it had acquired the exclusive rights to publish his greatest secrets. All the details of the stage illusions "Cheating the Gallows," "The Gambling Ghost," "Technicolor Change," "The Houdini Seance," as well as the transcript of his secret to success, "The Fortune Formular," were now made available to a wider audience for the first time.
And they had been eagerly awaiting this for years! The English-language brochures sold out in no time.
So it is only logical that Werry immediately acquired the rights for the “processing of these texts in the German language” for his “M”W publishing house.
The work begun by Werry has now been completed. Manfred Zöllner has translated the five English-language booklets and added all the drawings, sketches, and photos from the original editions. The result is a fascinating compilation of sensational effects.
Fogel's attention to detail in his performances, his perfection in his preparations, and the meticulous design of his presentations fascinate everyone who takes magic and his audience seriously.
These are the five chapters you should study carefully:
1. The Ghost Cabinet - the ghost of the legendary Wild Bill Hickock is summoned. Here, you'll learn about the famous "Frog Rope Shackle," among other things.
2. The method to success - discover your potential with Fogel's success principle and learn an astonishing routine for interpreting the future.
3. A colorful raffle - Fogel's “Just Chance” version with colorful tissue paper bags.
4. The Houdini Seance - a spiritualistic session in which spirit tablets, spirit knots and cube penetration are used.
5. Outsmart the executioner - the hangman trick is a magical spectacle in which you “escape” the executioner - an absolute reputation booster!
70 pages with many sketches and photos, DIN A5 format, softcover, German.
