Beschreibung

Tales of Enchantment: The Art of Magic by Walt Anthony Techniques and Presentations to make your magic, more Magical! A lifetime of practical material is explored in this book: presentations, stagecraft, effects, performance technique, magic anecdotes; all from a full-time professional entertainer's thirty-plus year career. This book has become one of those books that sets a standard within the magic world for years to come." In this 270 page book, you will learn new routines and original magic presentations. You will learn skills and tools for thinking imaginatively and creatively. You'll be exposed to a dynamic writing style that makes you feel comfortable while challenging you to become more innovative and go beyond simple "patter" or standard magic. It really is one of the most inspirational books about approaching Magic as an Art-Form. The author's personal routines and stories come to life and will help create "Real Magic" for your audience. In fact, if you don't think of new ideas as you are reading this book (and find yourself reliving a bit of the giddiness you enjoyed as a kid when you visited a magic shop, unwrapped a new trick, or saw something that really amazed you) well then, you're not fully living your magical life! Walt weaves many colorful stories into a magical carpet ride of adventure! This impressive book is rich in mythic images that will inspire you to think and feel deeply about our ancient art." -Jeff McBride Introduction by Kostya Kimlat Foreword by Robert E.
