Ryan Schlutz Presents Midnight Sessions (Deluxe Edition) by Unnamed Magician

The Café was heavy with the scent of coffee and butter. Outside, the empty streets glistened under a canopy of stars. Across from me sat a stranger, cloaked in shadows. As he performed his routines, I began crafting Midnight Sessions.

Midnight Sessions is a collection of 17 masterful routines by The Unnamed Magician, gathered during months of secret meetings and countless cups of coffee. Within its pages, you’ll discover card magic designed to astonish both laymen and seasoned magicians. Unveil tricks born from an innovative new principle, rediscover classics brought to new life, and learn a powerful template for layering deception into your existing repertoire.

“The effects, methods, and his approach to methodological design are worth your attention. In other words, buy this book.”
– Michael Weber (see full quote below)

“To say that the methods are diabolical would be an understatement. Part of me wishes I still didn’t now know the secrets behind the mysteries I experienced.”
– Mike Powers (see full quote below)

Each routine is accompanied by variant handlings, inviting you to explore multiple methods. The book’s narrative dares you to uncover the secrets before they’re revealed, turning each page into a game of wits. An insightful Afterword by the legendary David Britland adds the perfect finishing touch.

Midnight Sessions, produced by False Anchors, spans 300 pages and features over 100 captivating photos. The Standard Edition features a cloth cover and exquisite foil-stamped artwork. For collectors, the Special Edition boasts a luxurious PU leather cover, a cloth spine, and a matching cloth-covered slipcase. With only 250 copies, each Special Edition is numbered with an exclusive bookplate.

So, are you ready to join us for a Midnight Session?

“Over the years, my interactions with The Unnamed Magician included email, video clips, manuscript drafts, brief notes, lengthy phone calls, and the occasional face-to mysterious-face meetings via Zoom and FaceTime. Every one of our exchanges was interesting and full of well considered plots and methods. Each page of this book reflects the same level of intelligence, care, variety, and ruthlessness of its author. The effects, methods, and his approach to methodological design are worth your attention. In other words, buy this book. Recently, l’ve seen more that one “named” magician receive unearned accolades for effects and methods they acquired from TUM, often without permission and too frequently misrepresenting the ideas as their own. This is your chance to learn what other’s have been trying to keep secret for themselves. He can stay Unnamed, but from now on he won’t be uncredited.”

“I’ve been eagerly awaiting Midnight Sessions for over a year. Why? A sneak peek at three unpublished routines left me completely fooled-a rare feat. Now, with the book in hand, I’m diving in. To say that the methods are diabolical would be an understatement. Part of me wishes I still didn’t now know the secrets behind the mysteries I experienced. But luckily, there are plenty more to discover. And, as a bonus, it’s a fantastic read. Midnight Sessions gets my highest recommendation.”
