We had had several recent requests for the Swami-Mantra Bound Volume after it was mentioned in David Blaine’s series “Do Not Attempt” a year ago.
This was a pair of magazines edited by Sam Dalal and published from 1972 to 1977, with 36 issues of Swami, and 28 issues of Mantra.
What made this magazine different was a mixture of Bizarre Magic, combined with the ideas and contributions of many of the greatest magical creators of the era from around the world.

We never had a hardbound edition of these magazines. The Hardbound editions published twice by Kaufman and Company of USA were sold out with most international magic dealers.
A PDF edition is still available from Lybrary.com, and details for this are on the eBooks section of this website.
As many customers have requested the printed book, we have now produced a limited run of these.
This is a large tome of over 260 large (8.5″ x 11″ size) pages, hard-bound with a dust jacket plus a protective plastic jacket. Not a book to read in bed, (it weighs 1.2 Kg.) and if you decide to go through this (instead of just having it decorate your bookshelf) you will find some excellent magic for your performing use.
We do not recommend you try any of the Bizarre “yogic” stunts, and this book is NOT FOR SALE TO ANY PERSON UNDER 21 years of age.
IF you have wanted a copy of this, we have it ready for shipping.
