Mike Caveney Wonders & The Conference Illusions
Delivery: please allow 5–8 business days.
A stunning two-volume set from one of magic's most respected performers and historians.
Mike Caveney Wonders covers every routine Mike has performed, from his teenage years to his current act, including Magic Paper, The Bow & Arrow and Scissors, Coat, Silverware & Chicken. More than a how-to book, it explains the creative process behind each routine, including all five methods he used for Magic Paper and why he settled on the last.
The Conference Illusions tells the story of the long-forgotten tricks and illusions Mike recreated for the Los Angeles Conference on Magic History, sometimes using original apparatus owned by Howard Thurston or Charles Carter. Each chapter covers the history, the original routine and how it was rebuilt for modern audiences, with vintage photos and posters from the Egyptian Hall Museum.
"These books are rich in important ideas and suffused with a profound love of (and respect for) the art." - Teller
