Davids Geschichte der Magie führt Sie auf eine wilde Reise durch die bemerkenswerten Leistungen der größten Magiker der Geschichte. Diese Magier waren alle auf ihre Weise Außenseiter, viele von ihnen bestrebt, mit Magie aus den strengen Regeln der Klasse und Konvention zu entfliehen.

\n

Aber sie alle veränderten die Populäre Kultur, passten sich sozialen Veränderungen an, entdeckten die inneren Arbeiten des menschlichen Geistes, ergriffen die neuesten technologischen und wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen und brachten das Kunst der Magie zu unvorhergesehenen Höhen.

\n

Die unglaublichen Geschichten werden durch über 100 nie zuvor veröffentlichte Fotos von Artefakten aus Copperfields exklusivem Museum der Magie ergänzt, einschließlich eines 16. Jahrhunderts Handbücher zur Fingerspitzengeleite, Houdinis Kettenhemden, Handschellen und Wasserquälkzellen, Dantes berühmtes Sägewerkzeug, Alexanders hochmodernen Turban, der ihm es ermöglichte, die Gedanken anderer zu lesen, und sogar ein paar Münzen, die möglicherweise durch die Hände Abraham Lincolns magisch gegangen sind.

\n

Am Ende des Buches teilen Sie Davids Begeisterung für das Potenzial der Magie.\n\n
