Roger's Thesaurus by Roger Crosthwaite & Justin Higham - Rare Book
Wunderground Magic
If the world of card magic had a secret society, this would be the book they pass around in whispers.
Roger's Thesaurus is a bold, brain-bending collection from two of Britain’s sharpest minds in sleight-of-hand—Justin Higham and Roger Crosthwaite—joined by a powerhouse lineup of underground legends and creative giants. This large-format hardcover is bursting with cutting-edge material that was years ahead of its time and still packs a punch today.
Contributors include:
Jack Avis. Gordon Bruce. Peter Duffie. Cy Endfield. Trevor Lewis. Simon Lovell. Edward Marlo. Roy Walton. Herb Zarrow.
…And that’s just the tip of the deck.
Inside, you'll find:
- 75 hard-hitting routines designed for real-world impact
- Over 90 original sleights and subtleties, each one battle-tested
- 260 sharp illustrations and over 30 photos to keep everything crystal clear
- Gordon Bruce’s killer work on Between the Palms
- A deep dive into Think A Card that redefines the effect
- Rare material from the elusive David Carre—worth the price alone
This isn’t filler. This is worker-grade, underground gold—material that’s been hiding in plain sight for too long.
Used copy, hardcover with dust jacket. Gently handled. Very minor shelf wear, slightly faded spine, but clean, crisp, and ready for action.
