Effect :
Following the success of "Pure Effect",
Derren Brown offers a detailed study of the
most difficult task facing any close-up magician:
how to make magic convincing. This is a rich
and witty journey through the thinking of
Britain's foremost current magical performer,
whose television specials have revolutionised
mentalism and drawn massive viewing figures.
"Absolute Magic" offers the profoundest
thinking, expressed in the most memorable
and vivid prose, and is a necessary modern
classic for the magician or mentalist striving
to make his performances more powerful.
This is a manifesto for performing excellence,
not a mere collection of routines. But those
who study it carefully will find much practical
information, not only on close up magic
and mentalism, but also Derren's unique
approach to theatrical pick-pocketing.

the most comprehensive magic "teach-in"
ever assembled. The secrets to more than 300
classic tricks-from sleight of hand to levitation-are
carefully explained in this 503-page volume.
It's all here: Card Magic, Coin Magic,
Rope Magic, Mental Magic, Make-at-Home Magic,
Sponge Ball Magic, Billiard Ball Magic,
Cups and Balls Magic, and Magical Illusions.
Description :
Mark Wilson devoted more than two years
of research, writing, and technical preparation
to this book. More than 50,000 still photographs
were taken of the detailed execution of
the tricks considered worthy to include
in this course, and these photographs were
edited and converted into hundreds of simplified
line drawings. The straightforward text
follows Mark Wilson's "step method"
of magic instruction, the same method he
has used to teach magic to Tony Curtis,
Telly Savalas, Bill Bixby, Dick Van Dyke,
Peter Faulk, Bernadette Peters, John Denver,
and other professional entertainers. It's
thoroughness makes Mark Wilson's Complete
Course In Magic especially recommended for
the beginner with absolutely no experience
in magic. At the same time, its scope and
depth has earned this book a place in the
libraries of many of today's most accomplished
magicians, professional and amateur alike!
