If you are a fan of top quality card magic then you should be VERY excited that The Complete Walton Volume 3 is now available! Roy Walton is an absolute legend in card magic and volumes one and two of this series are essential reading for any card magician. There are 96 effects in this new volume (55p each!) some previously unpublished – so even without reading it this would get my highest recommendation. £52.99

And if one book isn’t enough, then check out Less is More which I venture to suggest is likely to be another modern classic full of Ben Earl’s wisdom and strong effects. £38.99

Magic videos don’t often make me stop and stare, but if Expansion is even half as good as its video demo then it is a phenomenal effect! In effect you stretch a small whole into a long slot and then return it in an instant – and the signed card can then be handed out as a momento. Eye-popping visual magic. £27.99 (also available in blue)

Although I haven’t seen this, when Juan Tamariz recommends something I sit up and take note. Triple C is a method of controlling a card or several cards which will enable you to perform a whole host of powerful magic. £27.99 (also available in red – strangely for 51 pence more!)

Lots more new playing cards out – and sorry not to get round to the round up last month – I was too busy celebrating my birthday! But the Neoclassic Playing Cards have caught my eye this month. Follow the link for more pictures, but a classy blend of old and new with a pleasing back design and some very striking court cards. £9.99

And finally, let’s not forget those humble accessories which sometimes make our magic easier and always make it more of a pleasure. The humble close up matt doesn’t get much attention, but this new range from JM Authentics look rather fine and come highly recommended. Check them out!

I’m pleased to say that I have now acquired to of the books I mentioned in last month’s trick of the month – so more detailed reviews will be following soon. For now, have a great month!

The Vintage 1800s were the first ‘aged’ deck I ever owned, and as such have a special place in my heart. Now re-printed with a marking system that means these gorgeous looking cards are even more useful than ever. Only £6.49

When my daughter asks me my favourite colour I usually answer purple, so I was pleased to see the new Viola Playing Cards from Collectable Playing Cards. In addition to the tasteful colour (!) the art deco style design is very pleasing – with the court cards in particular very striking. I’d like a little less yellow on them, but you can’t have everything. £8.99

I love these new cards from USPCC. Although they’re designed with cardistry/XCM in mind, I think the Blue Bicycle Cardistry deck would look cool in any context. Just look at those fantastic cut out court card faces. £7.99

The Blue Edition JAQK deck has some slight similarities to the Cardistry deck but is even more striking with extra colour. And the fact that they’ve been made in conjunction with a winery makes them even more appealing to me! Likely to sell out fast. £10.99

That’s our selection this month. There were a number of other releases – notably the Justin Froyd series inspired by coats of arms that just didn’t grab me. Let me know if you’ve seen any you think we should have included…

If you’re feeling a little more pedestrian you might prefer the new Brown Bicycle Playing Cards. They’re still collectable – a limited run of only 3000 – but you know where you are with Bikes! £5.50.
