The Magic of Johnny Thompson

A Legendary Collection Celebrating One of Magic's Greatest Minds

The Magic of Johnny Thompson is a masterpiece that every magician and collector dreams of owning. First released in 2018 by Jamy Ian Swiss and Magicana, this extraordinary two-volume set pays tribute to the life and genius of Johnny Thompson—one of the most revered figures in the history of magic. Both initial printings sold out quickly, making this set one of the most sought-after treasures in the magic community.

Now, thanks to Vanishing Inc., this iconic collection has been brought back to life, preserving the legacy of a true magic legend. From his iconic stage persona, The Great Tomsoni & Co., to his unparalleled influence as a magic consultant, Johnny Thompson’s contributions to the art form remain unmatched.

What’s Inside?

Spanning nearly 700 pages and enriched with 1,100 stunning photographs, The Magic of Johnny Thompson reveals the real secrets behind 78 of Johnny’s most celebrated routines, including:

• The Cups & Balls
• The Balls in the Net
• The Egg Bag
• The Gambler’s Ballad

Additionally, you’ll find unpublished material from legendary magicians like Dai Vernon, Ed Marlo, Harry Riser, Charlie Miller, and Max Malini. With in-depth chapters on Johnny’s renowned dove and silk magic, a comprehensive essay on dove act development, and a full exploration of his famed trade show act—including the impossible $100 Prediction—this set is a treasure trove of magical brilliance.
