The Learned Pig Project (TLPP)

The Learned Pig Project was started in September 1999 by Marko from Panama. Marko's
idea was essentially to mimic the Project Gutenberg for magicians. Project
Gutenberg's purpose is to digitize public domain books. The Learned Pig Project's
goal is to digitize public domain magic books. When Marko started he had four books
digitized: My Magic Life (Devant), Miracle Mongers (Houdini), The Lives of the
Conjurers (Frost) and Behind the Scenes with the Mediums (Abbott). He would later
add dozens more. In late 2011 Marko shut down the project due to security issues on
his website.

To prevent the loss of this great resource I decided to purchase TLPP from Marko
and continue to host it here on Lybrary.com. Lybrary.com's mission is very well
aligned with the mission of TLPP. My goal is to digitize magic literature and make
it conveniently available to interested magicians. Please use this resource
responsibly. Even though most of the books included here are in the public domain
their conversions to digital form are not. Marko put an enormous amount of effort
into this work. I know, because I have myself digitized hundreds of books. I have
paid a good amount of money for Marko's work. Please do not copy, mirror or share
these ebooks without my permission. The best way to support TLPP is to support
Lybrary.com through referrals, links, and purchases. If you have any questions or
suggestions I am just an email away.

Tricks

Rossini Flying Cards


An easy but effective trick: A packet of blue cards change places with a packet of
red cards, both kept by two spectators in a pocket. Good for close-up or parlor
shows.

Sacrilegious!
How to use a chick pan for a very strong trick.

The Simple Things


A very simple but highly effective Torn and Restored Newspaper trick.

Two from our Online Library


Freezing Ice in the Hand by Long Tack Sam and The Eye Popper Card Feat by Annemann.
Both tricks illustrated with many photographs.

Fogel plus Annemann


A very strong prediction trick, streamlined from the late Fogel's Bewitched,
Bottled and Bewildered.

A Magical Lesson
With a thumb tip and two silk handkerchiefs you can perform a very good "sucker"
trick.

Bergeron's Reds & Blacks


Two red cards change places with two black cards. Perhaps the easiest version of
this impromptu card trick.

Satan's Shears
A very flashy card revelation for parlor or stage shows.

One Card Pete


A forgotten gem from the past! A very effective presentation with a handful of
cards.

The New Baby Gag


An humorous but strong prediction. Great opener for a mental type act.

My One-Man Show in Boquete


In this article I talk about one of my shows plus the Blindfold Drive publicity
stunt.

Getting Rid of Magical Clutter


Read what I did one day with all the magic tricks I had hidden away in drawers and
boxes.
