REVIEW

Illusioneer by Carlos Vaquera is a bright gem that is then much more than just a mere book featuring close upward textile targeted at the intermediate to advance level magician. I honestly have to say, I still can't believe the good people at Vanishing Inc have priced this cute hardcover containing nearly 300 pages of pure magic for only a mere 40 bucks! Someone must be crazy or perhaps a mistake in MSRP was made, only either style it definitely stands to do good us readers 🙂

Besides being a master magician, Carlos Vaquera is undoubtedly a modern 24-hour interval philosopher and talented poet ("Never forget that your hands are merely a pretext for sharing an emotion and, as a result, moving your spectators…"). Every routine within Illusioneer is beautifully crafted in thought and precision. His work is heavily influenced by serious technical heavyweights such as Shigeo Takagi, Ed Marlo, Larry Jennings, Arturo de Ascanio, as well as, present day artists like Paul Harris and the Cadet Twins.

As mentioned, intermediate to advanced magicians will gain the most out of this. Even so, if you lot're still leveling upwardly on your sleight of hand, don't fret. Beginners will actually benefit from the thought provoking manufactures. In particular, the in-depth essays on practice and stage fright will come in handy. I personally enjoyed the ones about creativity and music. Mr Vaquera uses a collection of clever quotes to accompany his writings, and the gorgeous illustrations aid in illuminating the technical moves required for the unlike menu and coin routines. The last section of Illusioneer (appendices) focuses on essential techniques he personally uses, such every bit the various steals, controls, and moves.

While nosotros'll be able to see Carlos Vaquera'southward remarkable sleight of hand prowess shine on magic videos posted on YouTube, I sure wish we had admission to the accompanying videos that came included with the original French version, which was first published by CC Editions in 2014. That's the only reason why it loses half a star in this magic review. Anyway, off the top of my caput… Leading Ladies, Les Rouges et les Noires, Sandwich a Trois, Chiromancy, and Coins through Table are only some of my favourites from the book. At that place is so much solid information inside to relish, just like fine wine. I highly recommend it and I guarantee… Illusioneer will be a modern twenty-four hour period classic.

TLDR: CLOSE Upward WORKERS, YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION!!!
