by EdwinA.Dawes (Author), Arthur Setterington (Author)
Intended for the aspiring magician or for the simply curious, this book tells the story of magic as practised by the great professionals of the past and by many of today's TV personalities. Many classic tricks are illustrated or explained step-by-step and the authors also explain how to build up an act, using patter and panache to bolster technical skills. All the main categories of magic are covered including illusions, levitations, card tricks, vanishing acts, mind-reading and escapology. Both authors are members of the Inner Magic Circle.
