Books
Mayne's first books Solo-X and Illusion FX featured novel stage illusions. Solo-X included Mayne's method for walking through a mirror which has since seen numerous variations by other performers on stage and television. Illusion FX featured Mayne's reworking of the Indian Sword Basket illusion using balloon swords. After publishing several works on illusions, Mayne began releasing several "shock magic" effects to the magic fraternity. Some of Mayne's "shock magic" style effects include the production of a bowling ball from a paper bag, an impromptu pencil through face penetration and a psychic prediction using a cockroach.
In addition to his magic books, in 2011 he began to release his own $0.99 sci-fi novels. He has also released audiobook versions of his books recorded by Justin Robert Young which you can buy for just a couple dollars or you can wait to get the free, serialized versions in the form of iTunes podcasts.
