U.F. Grant - Legendary Magic CreatorWho Was U.F. Grant?

UF Grant (1901–1978) was a visionary in the world of magic. Known to his friends as "Gen" Grant, he was a master at crafting magic tricks that fooled audiences yet were often based on simple, direct methods. In addition to manufacturing over 150 colorful tricks and props for the club, school, and kid show magician, Grant published a range of popular pamphlets and manuscripts that were carried by magic dealers worldwide, many of these are included in this affordably-priced, new compilation.

Grant’s influence extended across nearly every branch of the magical arts, from stage illusions and close-up magic to mentalism and children’s magic, and many of his creations are still performed by amateur, pro, and semi-pro magicians around the world.

In this incredible new, idea- and information-packed collection, we put over two dozen complete, highly sought-after Grant publications on Card Magic, Do-It-Yourself Illusions, Mentalism, and more, at your fingertips. Bear in mind, that like his magic, Grant's writing and descriptions focused on workable methods, rather than lengthy discussions about presentation which it was assumed the performer would work out for himself.

The 365-page, illustrated UF Grant File is organized into seven categories with PDF bookmarks linked to every title for your convenience. These sections include:

  1. Card Magic
  2. Money Magic
  3. Illusions
  4. Mentalism
  5. Club & Stage
  6. Comedy
  7. Miscellaneous Effects

Why UF Grant’s Magic Is Still Relevant

Despite being published decades ago, UF Grant's ideas remain remarkably fresh. His philosophy of simplicity, directness, and practicality has stood the test of time. Many of his routines can be adapted using modern materials, and his thinking forms the backbone of countless effects that continue to fool audiences.

What makes Grant's work truly exceptional is its accessibility. His effects are typically easy to learn, yet surprisingly deceptive. For amateur performers, they offer a way to build a solid foundation in stagecraft and timing. For professionals, they provide commercial, audience-tested material that gets strong reactions without unnecessary complication.
