For years, The Olram File was difficult to find magazines — 16 issues published between 1990 and 1993, packed with Marlo’s personal notes, unpublished tricks, and material Ed Marlo held back for decades.
Now, after 3 years of work, I’m thrilled to announce that The Olram File (Expanded Edition) is finally available.
This isn’t just a scan or reprint. It’s a complete, carefully reworked edition featuring:
-
Original text and commentary by Jon Racherbaumer
-
Marlo’s original photos and hand-drawn illustrations
-
New correspondence, mailers, and unreleased photos from the Marlo archives
-
129 effects, 20 slides, 20 essays, 151 posed photos, and more
It’s the closest you’ll get to experiencing the magazine as a subscriber — watching his mind at work through his notes, ideas, and the details that defined his genius.
This project has been a true labor of love. Every page was rebuilt from the ground up to honor the spirit of the original while making it accessible to today’s serious card magicians.
If you care about the art, this book belongs in your collection.
Hardcover, 325 pages, 8.5 x 11” — built to last, and designed to study.
