Temporarily sold out
When people watch a magician create illusions, the
question that is most pressing on their minds is: how did he do it?.
This is not the only question that can be asked of a magic performance. A
psychologist might ask why it is possible that the mind can be
deceived, occupational therapists are interested in how performing magic
tricks can help people with physical disabilities and sociologists
research the subculture of magicians.

This is not the only question that can be asked of a magic performance. A

research the subculture of magicians.
This book explores the
questions that scholars from different fields of science have asked
about the performances of magicians. For magicians this book provides
new perspectives on their performance art. For people with a passive
interest in magic, this book provides an insight into a quaint
performance art that is normally surrounded in secrecy and clichés.
