Patrick Page Magic is run by Patrick Page’s daughter Janette Page and her husband Philip.
The late Patrick Page was recognised the world over as one of magic’s greatest teachers. His knowledge, experience and willingness to share what he knew made him a cherished and much missed figure on the magic scene. It seems hard to believe that he died over 14 years ago (February 2010). On 17th March 2024 it would have been his 96th Birthday. He was born on St Patrick’s Day 17th March 1929- hence his name Patrick.
He was a very modest man and many were not (and are not) aware of the immense contribution that he made to the world of magic. Over more than 50 years in the entertainment business, he worked on shows, films and television programmes across the world, and was consultant to many magicians. There will be few magicians who are not performing at least one trick invented by Patrick Page, or using at least one of his moves.
Many know Patrick Page because of his generosity of spirit in sharing magic with magicians all over the world – through audio tapes explaining how to perform magic effects, later videos and DVDs, his many books that have inspired countless magicians (including his last ever book Magic Page by Page which is exclusively sold by Patrick Page Magic on this website), and of course his lectures to magicians throughout the world, and the time that he always seemed to find to share his knowledge with others.
Patrick believed in making sure that knowledge of magic was not lost and was passed from generation to generation. So much of his work has been preserved for posterity, and through Patrick Page Magic we continue his work and make it available at sensible prices.
One project that Patrick worked on was interviews with his friends from the world of magic back in the 1970’s. Patrick knew that some of his friends were getting on and their knowledge and secrets would be lost for ever if someone did not preserve them. That someone was Patrick. He recorded interviews with some of the greats of magic (and some not so well known but no less interesting people from the world of magic).

Patrick finished the book Magic Page by Page a week before he died. Sadly he did not live long enough to see how successful the book would be and how it would help so many magicians, rich and famous, poor and unknown alike.
If you could only possess one book on magic, this could easily qualify to be that one.
Literally “everything you want to know about magic but were afraid to ask”, This book covers EVERYTHING that Patrick invented, all fully explained and taught by Patrick Page in great detail, with all the tips and insights that Pat was known for…and illustrated with hundreds of superb photographs!
Everything from cards, comedy and close up, to mentalism, and cabaret.
Additional NEW chapters on misdirection, comedy, and presentation are worth more than the price of the book alone. What more does anyone need to know?
The first hardback edition of the book sold out almost immediately in 2012, but this new softcover edition is lighter in weight (saving you postage) and contains ADDITIONAL photos from the Patrick Page archives that were not included in the first edition..
The book is beautifully produced to match the love and labour that Patrick put into it, with the help of legendary editor Matthew Field, who worked on most of the Richard Kaufman books on close up magic.
It would be redundant to cover the contents of this book..but suffice to say that whatever your interest in magic..from close up, to cards, to stage and cabaret magic..this book is the lifetime knowledge of the one and only PAT PAGE. Each chapter is easily worth more than the price of the book.
All prices include postage/shipping..
