{"product_id":"art-and-artifice-jim-steinmeyer-9780786718061","title":"Art and Artifice: And Other Essays of Illusion","description":"From the author of Hiding the Elephant and The Glorious Deception comes a collection of five essays that shows how the great stage illusions were integrally products of their time, based on the traditions and fashions of the people, and the offspring of the incredible, inventive personalities who brought them to the stage. Like no other author, Jim Steinmeyer gives us insight into the timeless appeal of magic. His human subjects include such characters as Steele MacKaye, Maskelyne, David Devant, P.T. Selbit, Horace Goldin, and Charles Morritt. Illusions he discusses include: The Mascot Moth, Sawing a Lady in Halves, and Morritt's Disappearing Donkey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Steinmeyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786718064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786718061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.16h x 5.56w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 88","brand":"Jim Steinmeyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994144571647,"sku":"9780786718061","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a81f4ad2-b309-4dad-a823-1a642bfa5736.jpg?v=1683328391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-and-artifice-jim-steinmeyer-9780786718061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
