How magicians think: misdirection, disappointment, and Why Magic Matters by Joshua Jay

The magic door is closed, but it is not locked.

Joshua Jay, one of the most accomplished magicians in the world, is not content to open this door, he makes us penetrate inside to reveal art and obsession, esoteric history and traditions long whispered with a subject surrounded by mystery.

And it goes even further: Joshua Jay makes us penetrate into the minds of a magician - how he develops his skills from another world, creates illusions and lets us go with pleasure each time. Along the way, Jay reveals another type of secret, that all readers will find significant, even if they do not aspire to make sleight of hand: what must be done to follow your heart and reach the Excellence?

In 52 short and pleasant tests to read, Jay describes how he succeeds, whether by making illusions, the psychology that underlies them or the influence of technology on the world of magic. He is interested in the aesthetics of performances, discusses contemporary masters, including David Copperfield, Penn & Teller and David Blaine, and explains in detail how magicians refine their art.

And answers questions such as:

  • Can a magic turn be too good?
  • How to cut a person in two?
  • Does magic really exist in the universe?
  • The answers, like many things in magic and life, depend on you.
