The Secret Gate: Unlock the Path to Real Magic

by Dartagnan *, Nate Green (Editor)

Overview

The oldest, most pernicious, and insoluble problem in the performance art of magic was best stated in 1969 by Henning Nelms, author of "Magic and Showmanship: A Handbook for Conjurers"...

"No matter how astonishing a trick may be, it suffers from one major fault - it has no point."

This book is the long-sought-after solution to this problem.

This is a brilliant book.

...Nobody is fooled more by magic than magicians. They mistake tricks for magic and overlook the importance of meaning.

...there is a giant blindspot in magic that 99.9% of magicians are seemingly unaware of. l Just reading this book will show you where most magicians are going wrong when it comes to performing magic.

...This isn't a book. It is a revolution. Jump on now and be a part fo the future.
