Book excerpt: The story of modern magic through the lives of recent history's most gifted magicians While the art of magic may be as old as human beings, its golden age arrived in the mid-1800s when Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin performed onstage in a tailored evening suit and tidy haircut. The image of magicians was forever transformed. Houdin was famous for his thrilling act of Second Sight, where his blindfolded son would identify articles held up by the audience. Other artists had their own specialties: Adelaide Herrmann, first woman to run her own magic show, brought the fun and flash of show business Chung Ling Soo, an American who led a double life as a dazzling Chinese conjuror The Great Lafayette, a flamboyant quick-change artist P.C. Sorcar revived the ancient traditions of his native India Harry Blackstone performed small magic -- simple tricks by sleight of hand Doug Henning revived the popularity of modern magic Siegfried and Roy combined special-effects technology with natural magic David Copperfield uses cutting-edge technology to create powerful stage illusions. After each magician's story, kids will find great tricks they can learn, and they'll love the full-color reproductions of theatrical posters and photographs that capture all the excitement.

If Carmer will help Grit investigate a string of faerie disappearances, she’ll use her very real magic to give his mechanical illusions a much-needed boost against the competition.

Download or read book Charmed Life Wildseed Witch Book 2 written by Marti Dumas and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by creole traditions, Charmed Life is the second book in Marti Dumas’s fun, middle-grade contemporary fantasy Wildseed Witch series with an all BIPOC cast, about a social media–loving tween—and witch! After a summer of being the worst witch at a fancy witch school, Hasani can’t wait to get back to the peace and normalcy of Riverbend Middle where she knows all the rules and is destined to be captain of the Mathletes. There are a few little hiccups to work out—like how she’s going to tell her best friend that she’s a witch—but even though the other two members of Hasani’s coven have joined her friend group and her school, there’s no reason to think that eighth grade won’t be smooth sailing . . . that is until her former friend (and fellow witch) LaToya shows up. LaToya starts trying to take her friends and make Hasani seem like the bad guy. To make matters worse, strange things begin happening around the school—including a termite infestation—and Hasani is so sure that LaToya is to blame. However, when Miss Lafleur comes to visit to help deal with the termites and investigate the magic, she helps Hasani to channel her powers more and realize just how strong her magic has become. But Miss Lafleur also isn’t convinced that LaToya could have caused all this chaos on her own—so Hasani sets out to prove it, and heads to a magical market, 3Thirteen, to find the ingredients she needs to do so. But in all her focus on proving she’s right and learning more about her magic, is Hasani losing sight of the people and things that are most important to her?

Here is the essence of Maharshi MahaManas's logic and science based modern doctrine called 'MahaVad': "The root cause of most man-made problems, suffering and misery is lack of sufficient knowledge and consciousness and mental illness. Blind faith, blind devotion, superstition and violence-hatred-terrorism have all arisen from that." "Real human development and peace can only be achieved if proper mind development education and training are introduced all over the world. And if real human development takes place, then most of the human-centered problems will be solved." His revolutionary doctrine of human development called "MahaVad" contains many scientific theories and scientific articles with evidence. Some of those scientific articles have been published in various international science journals as scientific research papers in the last part of 2021. And they have been admired by wise people. Those research papers were compiled and published as a book for the people seeking knowledge. Thanks. ~ Editor
