\n\nExtending Magic Beyond Credibility od Johna Bootha – e-kniha ke stažení

John Booth se v Extending Magic Beyond Credibility , své třinácté (a možná nejlepší) knize o magii, ohlíží za svými více než 70 lety zkušeností s kouzelnickým uměním a zamýšlí se nad některými jeho nejtrvalejšími záhadami, zajímavými otázkami a fascinujícími osobnostmi.

Od legendárních efektů, jako je Light & Heavy Chest Roberta-Houdina a trik s indickým lanem až po počátky holubičí magie, břichomluvectví a automatů, Extending Magic Beyond Credibility má slavnou Boothovu směs tajemství, biografie, filozofie a romantické historie.

Ať už jste studentem historie magie nebo jste prostě fascinováni uměním a jeho mnoha aspekty, zjistíte, že Extending Magic Beyond Credibility je víc než jen kniha o historii magie. Je to strhující čtení, od kterého se jen těžko odložíte, napsané mužem, který své téma nejen zná... ale také tím žil.
