9780819645708 - Modern Magic: A Prpactical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring de Hoffmann (1 résultats)

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Modern Magic was the very first English-language work to explain how to perform magic, rather than just exposing its secrets. This work contains more than 220 tricks and effects, many of which are still used today. All contain principles that, with slight adaption, formed the basis of numerous more modern effects, and which, with a touch of imagination, can be utilized to create new and dramatic effects. The range of tricks covered in this book is massive, from lessons on basic sleight-of-hand to advanced card tricks. Of both historical interest and useful for the modern practitioner. This book is a reprint of the original, with all the original typesetting and charming historical illustrations. Cover has a bit of spotting and color change from exposure to light. Binding is strong and tight, textblock is clean and easy to flip through.
