PRIME-TIME MARLO REMASTERED

You’ve read the books. You’ve studied the trick and sleights.

Now witness the man himself — Ed Marlo — filmed in the intimate setting of his own home, creating and performing the effects that would define his legacy.

In 1972, Jon Racherbaumer brought his Super-8 camera into Marlo’s world. What he captured wasn’t meant for the spotlight — it was meant for the serious student. In 1994 the video Prime-Time Marlo was released.

Over 30 years later, I’ve spent countless hours meticulously remastering and re-editing this historic footage — restoring lost moments, enhancing clarity, and bringing new life to a legendary film that deserves to be seen and studied.

This isn’t just performance footage. It’s a rare, candid glimpse of Marlo in mid-flow — demonstrating effects that appeared in The Hierophant, Sticks and Stones, Kabbala, and many others that wouldn’t see print until years later in Marlo’s Magazine and beyond.

Also included:

Jon Racherbaumer’s exclusive running commentary — rich with insight, context, and behind-the-scenes comments.

A beautifully crafted hard-copy compendium — filled with stills from the film, scans of Marlo’s handwritten notes, historical annotations, detailed publication references and explanations. It’s a roadmap to understanding not just how Marlo did what he did — but why.

This isn’t just nostalgia.

It’s not just a collector’s piece.

It’s a working resource for the dedicated card worker — a front-row seat to the mind of Marlo: his thinking, his timing, his technique, and the unguarded magic that shaped generations.
