{"product_id":"magicians-magic-paul-curry-9780486431765","title":"Magician's Magic","description":"\"No recent book on magic ... reveals so many inside secrets.\" -- Martin Gardner.\u003cbr\u003eAmong veteran magicians, Paul Curry was known for his invention of many new tricks and the imaginative twists he gave old ones. But this charming book is much more than just a compendium of classic legerdemain. It's a page-turning commentary on the history of magic, along with descriptions of illusions that anyone can master.\u003cbr\u003ePresenting thoroughly engrossing material in a truly elegant style, the \"magician's magician\" discloses the secrets behind more than 25 close-up marvels -- including his own \"Out of This World,\" reputed to be the best card trick of the past century. The book also surveys the entire field of prestidigitation -- from magic performed in ancient Egypt to tricks executed in modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Curry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486431762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486431765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.16w x 0.58d","brand":"Paul Curry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080262152447,"sku":"9780486431765","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53531f9f-bb08-40fd-b8a2-5ca1689352b3.jpg?v=1685485827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magicians-magic-paul-curry-9780486431765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
