Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Second Edition. With illustrations. From the library of Paul Daniels. Bottom staple slightly rusty with a little staining to adjacent page. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; Mike Caveney is a prominent American magician, author, and historian of magic, celebrated for his comedic approach and expert knowledge of magical history. Born on June 17, 1950, in Pasadena, California, Caveney began performing magic at a young age, drawn to the art after receiving a magic set as a gift. He turned professional in 1974, quickly gaining recognition for his unique blend of humor and illusion. Caveney is known for his signature acts involving classical magic routines with a comedic twist, such as his impalement on a giant spike. Apart from performing, he has made significant contributions to the magic community through his writings and extensive historical research. He has authored several influential books on magic history and the lives of past magicians. Caveney also co-founded the Magic Words publishing company, which specializes in books on magical history, further cementing his legacy in the magic community. Paul Daniels' book collection was a vast reservoir of magical wisdom, encapsulating the breadth of the craft from performance to history. It included a diverse range of materials from rare 17th-century manuscripts to contemporary works, reflecting Daniels' deep passion for magic and his dedication to its study. Among these treasures was a work by Mike Caveney, illustrating Daniels' appreciation for both the art and its scholarly examination. This collection served as a foundation for Daniels' own innovations in magic and provided a rich resource for magic enthusiasts and scholars alike. After Daniels' death in 2016, the collection was carefully dispersed, with many volumes going to collectors and institutions, ensuring that his love for magic and its history would continue to inspire and educate future generations of magicians and magic aficionados around the world. ; 21. x 13.5 cms; 28 pages Original saddle stapled wrappers.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Magic has enchanted humankind for millennia, evoking terror, laughter, shock, and amazement. Once persecuted as heretics and sorcerers, magicians have always been conduits to a parallel universe of limitless possibility whether invoking spirits, reading minds, or inverting the laws of nature by sleight of hand. Long before science fiction, virtual realities, video games, and the Internet, the craft of magic was the most powerful fantasy world man had ever known. As the pioneers of special effects throughout history, magicians have never ceased to mystify us by making the impossible possible. This book celebrates more than 500 years of the stunning visual culture of the world s greatest magicians. Featuring more than 750 rarely seen vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings as well as paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Bruegel among others, The Magic Booktraces the history of magic as a performing art from the 1400s to the 1950s. Combining sensational images with incisive text, the book explores the evolution of the magicians craft, from medieval street performers to the brilliant stage magicians who gave rise to cinematic special effects; from the 19th century s golden age of magic to groundbreaking daredevils like Houdini and the early 20th century s vaudevillians. Clothbound, 6.7 x 9.4 in., 4.11 lb, 544 pages.
