Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magician's Own Book, or the Whole Art of Conjuring The publishers of this interesting volume do not conceive that it requires an elaborate introduction to the reading public. Some brief remarks, however, may not be inappropriate as a preface to The Magician's Own Book, since the "black art," as in lessen lightened ages the practice of all these innocent and interesting feats was termed, is not yet as popularly understood in this country as it is abroad. There is a charm in legerdemain, or sleight of hand, that all, whether young or old, can readily appreciate. There is a mystery in it that piques the understanding as well as provokes the curiosity of the spectator. If the trick be executed with address, it excites our admiration; and the simpler it appears, the more it engages our fancy and fascinates our attention. And it is not only when we are mystified in public, cajoled in great saloons, and in the presence of crowds, that these effects are developed. They are called forth by the performances even of some humble artist in the family circle, whose ingenuity of mind has enabled him to gather up the more available of these practical puzzles. It would seem, therefore, a useful thing to place this source of harmless amusement within the reach of all who can relish its eccentricities, and instead of leaving it in the hands of "professors," as a pecuniary speculation, to enable the domestic group to master and enjoy it in all its ever-varying phases of novelty and gratification. To do this is what the publishers propose in the issue of this volume; and they flatter themselves, that if carefully studied, it will prepare the Young Conjuror to convert the parlor, at any desirable moment, into a place of genuine entertainment for himself and his companions, and ample repay him for the little time and thought he may devote to the acquisition of the necessary skill and dexterity. Sleight of hand, magic, necromancy, &c., are all terms of art applicable to the same series of performances.

Download or read book Advanced Magic written by Joseph Ovette and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In writing this book, it is not my intuition to treat conjuring in all its technical details; hut merely record some of the results of my life study of the fascinating art of Magic; and which I hope, will prove, if not instructive, at least interesting to the many who either dabble in Magic for a likelihood or pastime. When I wrote "Tricky-Tricks" I confidently intended it should be my last book. But "Circumstances Alter Cases." The great success of my two books: "The Magicians New Field" and "Tricky-Tricks" was a very gratifying surprise to me, as the sales of these books ran far beyond my fondest expectations. Since then 1 have been besieged with inquiries, especially during the last two months, as to when I was going to write another book. Of course, it is encouraging to know that your work is appreciated, but my time was pre-occupied with my "finessing Institute." Besides my aspirations were soaring within the lofty realm of a New-More Perfect and more wonderful type of Magic than the world has ever known before! Now, since the birth of "New Era Magic'' we have a new condition - A condition which demands New Magic Literature; and as a starter "Advanced Magic" is the first answer to the call. Anticipating your interrogation as to what "Now Era Magic" is, I will briefly state that the distinctive principle, and principle distinction between the old and the new class or higher type of Magic, is the obvious fairness and open-and-above-hoard manner of presentation of the latter. In other words; in the New Magic, materializations are not obviously smuggled in, nor are the envanishments obvious smuggling out, ns is generally the case with our aged art. Especially is this. true with the big tricks -- Illusions. He who thinks this principle is of little importance does not know what it is that really makes an effect Surprising and Startling. The degree in which your effort is Surprising or Startling depends upon how perfectly you have adhered to and applied the said principle. Within the advent of "New Era Magic" our beloved Art now enters upon a New Epoch. Arc- you, dear reader, going to keep pace therewith, or are you one of those who think that any old tiling is "good enough" is long as you can get away with it? Unless you decide quickly, no choice will be left you. The Magic Art is now in a state of transition and is rapidly undergoing a complete revolution. There will be only one type of Magic in the future; that will he. the "New Era." I have no ax to grind; nor have I any apology to make for the appearance of this book. "Advanced Magic" is simply a reply to the numerous urgent requests of my friends, many of whom I have met person-ally, before and since leaving the road, that I put in hook form more of the fruits of my experience and observations. If this work should prove helpful to at least one Struggling Brother, I will feel amply rewarded for my efforts.

Download or read book Magic written by Joshua Jay and published by Workman Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008-11-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic is everywhere, from the big spectacle celebrity of David Copperfield and Siegfried and Roy to the quirky Penn and Teller to the spooky David Blaine and Criss Angel to the endless material on YouTube. But until now, learning it has never been easy—that's all about to change with Magic, a book that does for close-up magic what How to Grill does for barbecue. Written by charismatic young magician Joshua Jay, Magic combines expertise, photographs, and step-by-step directions showing how to perform 100 tricks. Joshua Jay took home the top prize at the World Magic Seminar (the Olympics of magic) when he was just 16 years old. Now he continues to perform magic, write about magic, eat, sleep, and breathe magic. Here, he brings all his passion and knowledge to teaching magic. Each trick is broken down into the Effect, the Secret, the Set-up, and, most important, the Performance, with lessons on what to say, how to direct the audience's attention, where to keep your hands, and so on. (In other words, how to be smart about the things your audience is surprisingly clueless about.) Here are the Ten Greatest Card Tricks; tricks to dazzle a dinner date; tricks to perform for the boss (poke a hole through his shirt, then magically mend it); tricks especially for kids; and even tricks for an audience in another state—with "Australian Self-Help," you can find a participant's chosen card over the phone. It's the Aha! book for a subject whose time has come.
