How magicians think: misleading, deception and why magic is important from Joshua Jay. The door to magic is closed, but it is not locked.
And now Joshua Jay, one of the most accomplished magicians in the world, not only opens this door, but also leads us into it to reveal the artistry and obsession, the esoteric history and the long whispered traditions of a mysterious subject.
And he goes one step further: Joshua Jay brings us directly into the head of a magician - how they develop their abilities, conjure up illusions and keep the rest of us down with enthusiasm. On the way there, Jay reveals a different kind of secret that is important for all readers, even if they never strive to accomplish magic art pieces: What do you have to do to follow your heart and achieve top performance?
In 52 short, captivating essays, Jay describes how he does it, be it through the production of illusions, psychology behind it or the way technology influences the world of magic.
He deals with the aesthetics of performance, discusses contemporary masters such as David Copperfield, Penn & Teller and David Blaine and describes how magicians refine their craft.
And he answers questions such as: can a magic trick be too good? How can you saw a person in half? Is there real magic in the universe? The answers, like so much in magic and life, depend on them.
