How Magicians Think: Misdirection, Deception, and Why Magic Matters

Joshua Jay

4.9/5 (28763 ratings)

Description:There’s a saying: The door to magic is closed, but it’s not locked. In How Do You Saw a Person in Half? , professional magician and bestselling author Joshua Jay not only opens that door, he brings us inside and turns on the light, revealing the art, the artistry, the inside history and traditions of a subject that’s been forever shrouded in mystery. This is not a how-to book, nor is it a how-do-they-do-it exposé—Jay is revealing what it’s like to be a magician, to practice an art that so many love and so few understand. Written as a series of short, insightful, entertaining essays, How Do You Saw a Person in Half? describes the formation of illusions, the psychology behind them, and the characters who create them. It also explores the remarkable ideas and people who change the way we think about magic and the world. Jay writes about how technology influences the contemporary world of magic; the aesthetics of performance; how magicians hone their craft (he spends countless hours in absolute darkness to perfect his sleights of hand). Answering questions like, What’s the actual oldest trick in the book? How did Houdini really die? Why do magicians pull rabbits out of hats? And how do you saw a person in half?, it is a compelling and thoughtful look at a secret world. We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
