Milson-Worth Magic:
The Ultimate Illustrated History

Currently in production, the definitive story of one of magic’s most iconic manufacturers…Milson-Worth Magic. From it’s humble beginnings with Johnson Products, through the merger of Worth Magic Novelty Company and Milson Magic, this compendium encompasses the journey of Lyn Johnson and his incredible apparatus. Milson-Worth apparatus is considered by many to be the Rolls-Royce of magic and on par with the legacies of Floyd Thayer and Carl Owen. You don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to own this extremely limited edition volume.

Authored by Patrick Lusch and Gene Voshell, the book is produced from many onsite visits and interviews with Lyn Johnson, Mike Caveney, and many others affiliated with this iconic brand. This color book is full of beautiful photography of Worth, Milson-Worth, and Johnson Products apparatus. Heavy research has been done to include a description, photos, and original instructions and routining for every effect produced by Worth and Milson-Worth.  You won’t find a more complete Bible on Milson-Worth…anywhere!
