The Olram File (Hardcover Edition)

A Legendary Collection of Card Magic, Reborn

Originally published between 1990 and 1993, The Olram File was a 16-issue underground magazine treasured by serious card magicians. A mix of personal notes, unpublished effects, and newly released material from the legendary Ed Marlo, this work held closely guarded secrets dating back to the 1940s. Long out of print and notoriously difficult to obtain, The Olram File quickly became one of the most sought-after sources in advanced card magic.

Now, through the meticulous efforts of Steve Reynolds, The Olram File returns, rejuvenated, expanded, and more accessible than ever in this beautiful 325-page hardcover edition.

Inside, you’ll find:

• 129 powerful effects and 20 thought-provoking essays
• 151 rare posed photos of Marlo and 42 original drawings
• Full bibliographies, satirical pieces, and rich Marlo memorabilia
• Previously unpublished correspondence between Marlo and Jon Racherbaumer
• The original mailers sent to subscribers, preserved in print
• A newly created 17th issue exclusive to this edition
• A comprehensive index for fast reference and deep study

This is far more than a facsimile, it’s a carefully restored and enhanced archive that honours the original while adapting it for modern practitioners. With original illustrations, restored photos, and new colour references by Steve Reynolds, this edition makes a legendary body of work available for a new generation of magicians.

Whether you’re a collector, a scholar of Marlo’s contributions, or a dedicated card worker, The Olram File is an essential volume, rich with sleights, tips, and insights from one of the most influential minds in magic.
