REVIEWS

Rating: 5 STARS! Paul Romhany: VANISH No 90 – January 2022 “This book is a MASSIVE 512 pages filled with so much material that it would take an entire magazine to list them all and go in to detail.  Wolfgang has over 30 years of performing magic behind him and this compilation is of all of his magic books and magic magazine contributions. It is now in its fourth print, as of 2021, and covers every aspect of magic from children’s magic, cards, close-up, mentalism, comedy to stage.

Wolfgang is somebody I consider a ‘worker’ which means he’s been in the business a long time and done it all. With this comes years of experience and in this book you will also find valuable information on marketing and touring shows. Another BIG feature of this are the links to numerous Teach-In and Online Videos.

In one of my favorite chapters called, “The Theory Behind What We Do,” Wolfgang has practical advice on everything from developing yourself as a magician, originality, organizing your magic props, designing an act with a specific theme to patter, music, dress, and so much more. The material in here is pure GOLD for anybody who wants to perform magic. I honestly don’t think I’ve read a book that covers as much material as he does!!

If you’ve ever wanted to tour your own show, either a large full illusion show or a smaller intimate stand-up show then you need to read his thoughts on Your Own Touring Show. This chapter covers it all from Market Research, Planning the show, transport, backdrops, advertising, booking the venue and even how to make extra cash at interval.

At the back of the book you will find links to a lot of different videos including TV appearances, A Masterclass, Street TV Specials, and Magic Teach-In Videos.

There is an interesting part in the Stage-Magic section called Ultimate Perspex Sawing In Half. here Wolfgang shares a video he had back in 1980 where he thinks he was the very first to come up with this clear sawing-in-half illusion. I’m not aware of the facts behind this illusion but he does have video of it from all those years ago.

He also shares his perspex sub- trunk that he designed in 1986 that was filmed on TV. The reason I include these two illusions in the review is to show you that Wolfgang has the material to back up his claims. He is obviously a person who thinks outside the box and at times way ahead of the times.

I’ve selected a few tricks to talk about in this review because as I said, there are too many to share in a review.

In the kids section I like his Passe Passe Cola Bottles. What is cool here is the twist on the classic trick. He uses Cola bottles and has a really funny twist on the routine where a person drinks the cola without him knowing and they end up being filled again. This is great routine for kids I can see this playing in all situations but especially if you have an assistant.

If you like book-tests then he has a really novel book-test in here which uses a number of books. The method here is super clever and he has various ways to produce the thought of word. He also has a Confabulation routine that uses a method I’ve not seen before – this I LOVE! In this version he has created an instant reset which makes it far more practical than the original.

Another favorite are his variations on the now classic Bandanna/Banana routine. I really like his thinking on this one.

This book is filled with SO much material that it is one of those books you will need to keep by your bedside and read each night. It covers every aspect of magic and his ideas are practical and obviously come from years of experience. This is not a book filled with ideas but routines that come from his working repertoire.

The ideas, tips and thoughts shared are priceless, he even goes through the steps of setting up your personal theatre!! Wolfgang has been there and done it all. I doubt there is a gig he hasn’t done and all those years of experience shine through in this book.

If you don’t want the hard copy then get the download and it will be the best $29.00 you have ever spent on magic!!”

Robin Boltman: SA’s Hero Magician! “Wow… Complete Works is a Knockout,!!! Well done… This will keep me busy for a long time ?? From South Africa’s most travelled and experienced magician… A must have book covering all spheres of magic and experience at your fingertips.”

Wayne Abrahamse: President: Cape Magicians Circle, Past President: Cape Order of Magicians, Founder: “Wolfgang is a highly successful magician who has achieved his fame and wealth through hard work and dedication. The Complete Works is a culmination of his efforts. This book, written in his distinctive conversational style, reflects the innovative ideas that have gone on in his head for more than 30 years. No matter if you are a close-up, stage, mentalist or children’s magician, you will find gems in this treasure trove for your act.

This 750 page veritable encyclopaedia is stuffed, from cover to cover, with practical magic and useable ideas. It even has chapters on patter and marketing. This is not the type of book to gather dust on a bookshelf. It is more likely to become dog-eared from continuous use. Whatever you pay for this book, you will be getting a bargain. I highly recommend this exceptional collection of magic nuggets to the international magic fraternity.”

Regardt Laubscher: Cape Town’s Rock Star Magician: “A very interactive, practical and brilliant book! I average 45 shows a month and use much of the material…. Tested! ?”

Love Melander: Sweden: “I have been in the business for over 30 years and performed and lectured with the world’s top magicians. When it comes to reading and informing myself on magic, I have read hundreds of books. The Complete Works does not just contain commercial and ‘real-life’ tricks and routines, but a life story of a true man that walks his talk and done it all. Every magician needs to have this book in his/her collection!”

Piet Steyn: Vice President Cape Magician’s Circle: “If you don’t know Wolfgang Riebe, you will after this.  This is more than a book. This is 750 pages of “Pure Magic” from the moment you pick it up.  Wolfgang really lives up to his statement ” I have always believed in giving and sharing” and oh boy is he giving and sharing with this gem.  From Kid’s Parties to Close-Up. From Mentalism to Stage. From Patter to Theory, this is really the “Complete Works” and the kitchen sink.”

Neil Hazell: The South African Magical Society: “It is very exciting for me to review Wolfgang Riebe’s book The Complete Works as the Society has now purchased this book for its library. I am of the view that every member of the Society will find something of interest and value in this book as it covers a variety of aspects relating to the art of magic!”
