The Most Fabulous Bargain in Magic!

The listening experience of a lifetime!

The Patrick Page Archive is a previously unheard and unavailable collection of recordings of magic greats, which gives a valuable and unique insight into the world of magic by the giants of the day. All of it has a Patrick Page connection of some kind, Patrick was not only a great performer but also a born interviewer. He had the foresight to interview many in magic, and ask them the sort of questions most would not have either the knowledge to ask or even dare to ask. Patrick’s technique, like all good interviewers, was to ask questions he probably knew the answers to, enabling him sufficient license to get the right and important answers he knew would interest listeners.

Sadly, Patrick and many of his friends are no longer with us. The Patrick Page Archive is his legacy to the world of magic, allowing us the opportunity, for example, to hear Dai Vernon talking about his encounters with Houdini, or to hear Cy Endfield talking about the magic he brought to the UK from the USA when forced to leave to avoid the rise of McCarthyism. Endfield was far more than the Director of the great film classic Zulu, he’d had a keen interest in magic from his childhood days.

Listen to Wally Davenport talk about working with his father Lewis Davenport and how the name Lewis Davenport came about, and then read John Davenport’s insight into that story.

Hear Fred Kaps learning that the Easy Money effect that he had made his own, had been invented by Patrick Page. There are so many interesting stories and revelations about magic in over 50 hours of material.

Patricks astute questioning provides you with a unique and revelatory listening (and learning) experience. One particularly fascinating interview is with Albert Goshman. They both reflected on how they would be remembered when they were gone. Both had families who were not interested in magic per se, so assumed the families would not continue the tradition. Albert was convinced that since he had not written a book, no-one would remember him. Well, how wrong they both were. The son of Albert Goshman runs a hugely successful factory making sponge balls for magic effects, and the Page family now run Patrick Page Magic. As a result of this interview Patrick agreed to write Magic by Gosh, the definitive book about Albert Goshman. And only Patrick Page could have asked Albert Goshman about the way he dressed….

The archive combines dedicated interviews, performances and lectures as presented at the time.

Just look at this stellar list of names (in no particular order):

in addition, we also feature the famous “Ramsay Reunion” in it’s entirety, both edited and uncut, which includes performances and lectures by Ron Wilson, Gaetan Bloom, Philip Fialho, Roy Johnson, Doug Alker, Kevin Fox, Geoff Ray, Trevor Lewis, Piet Forton, Bob Read, Fred Kaps, Dai Vernon, David Roth, Juan Tamariz, all introduced by Patrick Page.

A further feature is the inclusion of “The Lipman Interviews”, featuring Terry Herbert, John Henley, Alan Alan, Walt Lees, George Kovari, Jay Marshall, Hector Robinson (son of Chung Ling Soo), Peter Newcombe, Ali Bongo, Peter Warlock, Eric Mason, David Berglas and Bobby Bernard.

With approximately 40 hours of digitally restored recordings, sound improved where possible, and accessible for your complete convenience in the easiest way imaginable, the entire cost of this unique package comes in at less than the price of a cup of coffee for each hour of recorded time!

For your further enjoyment we have added, where possible, videos – enabling you to see many of the listed Artists, particularly helpful when exploring the Lectures, so although an audio archive it has the added dimension of visual performance.
