OLDE WORLD MAGICK began in 1991. I (Joe Lantiere) came out with my first catalog in the Spring of 1992. Here is part of the introduction to the first catalog:
These are the books I currently have in stock (all were written by me):
COLONIAL AMERICAN MAGICIAN, THE
LIPMANCY: Lipstick Imprint Reading For Psychic Entertainers
MAGICIAN'S WAND, THE: A History of Mystical Rods of Power
See below for details on these items.
Have you ever been asked to do a magic show in a school, or a magic show for the 4th of July? Did you ever want to include a routine in your act about Colonial American History? Did you ever want to put together an act as a Colonial American magician but didn’t know what to do, what to wear, what background music to play or where to get the props?
This unique book will guide you how to do magic with a Colonial New England American-type theme. It includes a dozen routines using modern apparatus you probably have gathering dust in your closet, basement or attic.
Also included are sections on a brief history of Colonial American magic. your costume, the gibeciere (magician’s pouch), Colonial American language & trivia, Colonial American themed jokes for children, background music, where to find work & sample flyers, and web site resources where to find many of the materials and props.
Please note that this is not a book about re-creating a colonial magician's act (you can research old magic books yourself). It is, instead, a modern act with a colonial "flair."
This book is 83 pages, with parchment-like sheets to give it that “olde world” flavor, and is spiral wire bound to keep the book open and flat while reading. It has a color cover protected by clear plastic overleaf, and is profusely illustrated with more than 100 photos and drawings. Only 100 copies of this first edition were published. Each copy is numbered and signed by the author. Published in September 2007, the price is only $25 plus postage.
A brand new way to do psychic readings at parties! In addition to the normal psychic fairs and company parties, you can also read lipstick prints for home shows or trade shows sponsored by cosmetic companies.
Currently, there are probably only about a dozen people in the world who read lipstick imprints, all of which have different methods and styles of reading. I have never seen a book on it. Maybe this book will change that. Be the first in your area to offer these types of readings!
This book will teach you my unique system of interpreting imprints shapes, types & styles, the meanings of colors, my “Mediums” system of psychic reading, how to study and how to give the reading from start to finish.
Published in October 2008, this 45-page book (in report format with red binder back and clear plastic front cover) has over 80 photos & illustrations and several charts to help you classify the imprints. Also included are 6 extra charts for you to practice with. The price is only $20.
