Review:
Harry Blackstone Jr. shares the history of modern magic, largely as seen through the eyes of his family. His father was the original Great Blackstone and Blackstone has carried on the tradition. This is not a merely anecdotal history, however. It's Blackstone's personal reflections on the art and game of magic--not just how it works but why it works as entertainment. It's about the psychological showmanship as well as the craft. Included are lessons in how to perform tricks that go beyond the mere technical details to show how to make a simple trick a piece of true theater.
About the Author:
Harry Blackstone, Jr., was twice named Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts at Hollywood's Magic Castle. He also received the prestigious Star of Magic from the Society of American Magicians. Charles and Regina Reynolds are the authors of 100 Years of Magic Posters. Charles has created magic for both Blackstone and Doug Henning, and is the co-author, with Henning, of Houdini: His Legend and His Magic.
