CARDINI - THE SUAVE DECEIVER
Perhaps the greatest sleight-of-hand artist of all time, Cardini was a master of sleight-of-hand, a show-business success, a classic act that changed the course of his art, and a builder of intricate miracles. Cardini is unveiled in depth and with great insight by John Fisher, a wizard of words.
Perhaps the greatest sleight-of-hand artist of all time, Cardini was a master of sleight-of-hand, a show-business success, a classic act that changed the course of his art, and a builder of intricate miracles. Cardini is unveiled in depth and with great insight by John Fisher, a wizard of words.
Granted access to the personal notebooks, scrapbooks, and memorabilia of Cardini, John Fisher has crafted not only a revelatory biography but also a fine piece of magical literature.
Cardini's legendary act is explained in detail, moment by moment, for the first time in print. This is an act to study as every movement and effect was carefully choreographed.
Generously illustrated with hundreds of photos and mementos of this master's career, including a beautiful color frontispiece and color section.
To top it all off, the book begins with Lance Burton paying tribute to Cardini in a heartfelt, inspiring preface.
Hardbound, with top-quality satin-finish paper, smyth-sewn for added durability, with a heavy full-color glossy dust jacket.
A wonderful book, lovingly produced, long thought to be out of print but a few new copies have surfaced and one is available now at Tin City Magic. A great gift for the magician, magic historian, reader, or book collector.
