THE ULTIMATE MAGIC BOOK!
MAGIC (1400s-1950s) celebrates more than 500 years of the dazzling visual culture of the world's greatest magicians. Featuring over 1,000 rarely seen vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings in one massive and collectible 650-page volume, it traces the history of magic as a performing art through over 500 years.
Combining sensational images with lucid and incisive text, Magic (1400s-1950s) explores the evolution of the magician's 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 vaudevillians.
This is a huge book in size, weight, and content! Hardbound, nearly 20 pounds, 20" x 12" x 3" in size and profusely illustrated on archival acid free paper with full color deluxe dustjacket, it is a delight for the mind and eyes!
Written by acclaimed magicians and authors Mike Caveney, Jim Steinmeyer, and Ricky Jay, edited by Noel Daniel, and produced by Taschen. Truly an heirloom quality collectible volume. The ultimate gift for every magician, or anyone interested in art, design, theater, or photography.
