Speaking of Inventors: The Inventive Magician's Handbook...With Props is Here!

Earlier this year, we featured our Cavalcade of Inventors, spotlighting the many magic inventors who have been showcased on this site.  As a follow-up to that, I'm delighted to announce that The Inventive Magician's Handbook . . . with Props will soon be released by Theory & Art of Magic Press! This project is the culmination of years of collaborative work with the amazing Larry Hass and a team of talented artists to bring a vision to life. That vision, broadly speaking, is this: a how-to guide to magic innovation for magicians who wish to bring their own creative approach to devising new effects and presentations. The Inventive Magician's Handbook offers theories embodied in 14 original magic effects, most with complete scripts. The book includes a curated kit containing never-before-available props for many of these effects, as well as access to downloadable props and videos. I spent a weekend examining the final version of the book and materials, and, well, I was overwhelmed with the fine product that Larry and his team have produced.

For those of you interested in magic history and collecting, please note: the book extensively examines magic inventing in a historical context and includes a curated kit containing never-before-available props for many of these effects, as well as access to downloadable props and videos.
