Title: Abracadabra!: Secret Methods Magicians & Others Use to Deceive Their Audience by Nathaniel Schiffman, Henry Gordon ISBN: 1-57392-163-7 Publisher: Prometheus Books Pub. Date: October, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $28.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.38 (8 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: A fine look at trickery (legit and otherwise)
Comment: Though as commentators below mention, this might not be the best text for beginning magicians (and Schiffman's prose style is a bit choppy at times), this is a valuable overview of the world of magic: the history of professional magic, how illusions work, the elements that go into a stage entertainer's performance, and how the same techniques are applied by New Age gurus, faith healers, spirit mediums, fraudulent religious leaders, and others to manipulate and hoodwink the public. A valuable addition to the literature of the skeptic movement as well as an intriguing peek behind the curtain for the curious.

Comment: If you start with this book to learn magic, only in that way will you be disapointed. But if you have at least some years experience in magic will you appreciate this very interesting book and valuable thoughts.
