Krátky popis
Marvellous Magicians celebrates the work of eight pioneering
illusionists, both famous and under-represented, whose tricks have
been the making of modern magic. Through a magical blend of
biography, history and illustration, it brings these amazing
magicians and their illusions into the spotlight. They include one
of the first female magicians, Adelaide Herrmann, and African
American illusionist Richard Potter, alongside such well-known
greats as Houdini and his namesake and inspiration, Houdin.Two
spectacular fold-out pages reveal the secret workings of the
Automata Chess Player and Howard Thurston's dramatic transformation
of an empty box into a world of wonders, while themed spreads
explore the early history of magic, the eight effects of magic on
which all tricks are based, the magician's tool box, and the
under-appreciated role of the magician's assistant. For its finale,
Marvellous Magicians explores the hidden societies who have kept
the secrets of illusions closely guarded for decades, provides
advice on becoming a magician and introduces readers to
contemporary magicians from around the world including Australia,
China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK and USA. Written in a
theatrical style and illustrated with original gouache paintings,
Marvellous Magicians is the perfect book for all aspiring
magicians.
