Mr. Fingers - The Magic of Irv Weiner by Scott Martell (Hardcover Book)

This stunning, foil-stamped cloth hardcover isn’t simply a reprint of private journals, it’s the complete portrait of a working legend who performed thousands of shows across the country. Alongside Irv’s own writings, you’ll find contributions from friends and contemporaries that add depth, context, and perspective, revealing not just what he did, but why it worked.

Inside, you’ll explore performance theory, practical thinking, and rich historical insight that places Irv’s material right where it belongs: in the world that shaped it, and on the stages and in the rooms where it truly lived. The book also includes a detailed account of his life and career, giving you a rare look at the performer behind the reputation.

With over 80 tricks and sleights, this book covers everything from magic with cards, coins, napkins, rope, cigarettes, eggs, sponges, mentalism, cups & balls, and includes tricks for close-up and stage. Even some of Irv’s legendary effects, like his Red Tape Thumb Tie is covered in loving detail.

And yes, his secrets are here. One of the most sought-after acts of the 1970s and 1980s has his work preserved and shared in full detail for magicians who want real-world methods, master-level structure, and the kind of audience-tested thinking you only get from decades of performing.
