The Art of Deception - 2nd Edition (2008)
Updated and Expanded Edition
“...one of the most inspiring books of magic you can own, “the stuff of all our dreams.”
If you missed out first time around, don’t pass this up.”
Steve Bryant - Little Egypt Magic, May 2008.
“This is a well produced and well written book that is enjoyable and rewarding to read. It represents an outstanding piece of research that is still a unique work over a decade after it was first published. Very highly recommended. ”
Bill Wells - The GENII Forum, October 2008.
THE ART OF DECEPTION quickly became a favorite of magicians around the world. However, only 500 copies were produced and demand quickly outweighed supply. Recently, a copy sold on E-bay for $1,000.
I am pleased to announce the 2nd edition of THE ART OF DECEPTION. All the information from the first edition is included,
plus new information and illustrations have been added. This hardcover edition contains over 400 pages of artwork from some of magic's finest artists.
This remarkable book explores the rich tapestry of magic art and the men and women who have created it. Early examples of magic artwork, vintage magic lithographs, collectors of conjuring and their preservation of magic art are discussed in detail.
This unabridged and updated edition of the 1997 classic also looks at major artists of the past (Harlan Tarbell, Nelson Hahne, Francis Martineau, etc.) and the present (Richard Kaufman, Joe Schmidt, Earle Oakes, etc.). Catalog and magazine illustrators, conjuring’s comic book connection, artists who create fine art (painting or sculpture), and much more are included in this copiously illustrated volume.
The books are signed and numbered from 501 to 1,000. Quantities are extremely limited.
