As a long -time collector of books and because this will be Caveney's legacy, he decided to make the finished product as beautiful as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd now they are ready and they are everything he had hoped for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume I is called Mike Caveney Wonders\u003c\/strong\u003e And contains all the routines that he has shown as a teenager at the Long Beach Mystics since his time, up to his current number, which includes Magic Paper, The Bow \u0026 Arrow and Scissors, Coat, Silverware \u0026 Chicken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than just a how-to-book, Caveney describes the creative process behind every routine. In the case of Magic Paper (the torn, restored and animated toilet paper), he explains all five methods he used and why he rejected each of them in favor of a new version and why he has stayed with method for almost thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal is to teach readers and encourage them to develop their own original routines.

In the past twenty -two years, Mike Caveney has recreated a number of long -forgotten tricks and illusions for the Los Angeles Conference on Magic History, and each of these tricks was a very own challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases, he had the original devices that once belonged to Howard Thurston or Charles Carter, and in other cases the equipment had to be built from scratch. The book describes the research on the history of the illusion, the original routines, as he tried to improve the mechanics of the apparatus, to think again and to design a routine that was suitable for a modern audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter their premiere at the History Conference, some of these effects were shown dozens of times for a lay audience in the Magic Castle and proved to be extremely effective hundred or more years after their creation. Each chapter contains old photos and posters from the files of the Egyptian indoor museum as well as behind-the-scenery and action photos or the performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a few readers will incorporate one of these secrets into their performances, but there is a lot to learn from the study of ideas that were created by the greatest minds from the golden age of magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe golden age of magic 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1993 Dante's sawing a lady in two halves 27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1999 Selbit's Bricks 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1999 by the Nadelöhr 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001 the million dollar puzzle 69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003 Oh!
