The Magic of Ascanio Volume 1 The Structural Conception of Magic (Japanese Edition)

\n

JAPANESE EDITION
Verfasst und zusammengestellt von Jesús Etcheverry
Der Meister verstarb am 6. April 1997, aber sein Zauber lebt weiter. In vier Bänden: Seine Theorien, seine Denkweise, seine Philosophie und das gesamte Kartenzauber von Ascanio, einschließlich seiner legendären Rituale (mit über dreißig zuvor nicht veröffentlichte Tricks), voller der Ascanianischen Note und sein Zauber mit Taschenmesser. Der erste Band enthält:
\nDie strukturelle Konzeption des Zaubers: Technik, Bauweise, Deckung, Darbietung, Wie man sich mit dem Zauber auseinandersetzt. Unveröffentlichte Essays von Ascanio: Über Kreativität, Theorieheft 1970. Seine klassischen Artikel über Theorie: Konzeption des magischen Atmosphärens, Analyse eines Tricks, Über Abgelenkung, Grundlagen der Zeitung, Kenne dich selbst, Psychologie des Palmen. Interviews: Interview mit einem Genie des Zaubers, von Juan Tamariz, Biografisches Interview und Meine Persönlichkeit, von Docampo. Drei köstliche Gespräche: Arturo und Juan Chats und ein Essay von Aurelio Paviato.

\n

Das Ergebnis ist das wichtigste theoretische Buch über Zauber je verfasst. "...Ich war versucht zu sagen, dass dieses Buch dich besser macht, aber nichts kann das tun außer dir selbst. Was es tut, ist dir den Weg weist. Ob du ihn nimmst oder nicht, liegt an dir, aber zumindest wirst du wissen, was Zauber sein können. Ein Buch für alle Zeiten und ein Muss zur Lektüre." - Phil Willmarth (The Linking Ring, Mai 2005)

\n

"Dieses Buch ist so gut, dass ich alles, was ich wirklich sagen muss, "Kauf es, du wirst nicht enttäuscht sein." - Michael Close (MAGIC Magazine, April 2005)

\n

"Jetzt sind alle Theorien von Ascanio in dem ersten Band der geplanten Trilogie über das Zauberwesen Arturo de Ascanio zusammengefasst. Die 30-seitige Abschnitt zum Lernen des Zaubers wird für jeden Studenten im frühen Stadium seines Ansatzes enorm nützlich sein und ich empfehle sie jedem, der den Kunstzweig ernsthaft angeht." - Jamy Ian Swiss (Genii, März 2005)

\n

"In dem ersten von vier Bänden von <i>The Magic of Ascanio</i>, zu publizieren bei Páginas, kann man einige der wahren Geheimnisse des Zaubers finden, die du in keinem anderen Buch findest." - Matthew Field (The Magic Circle Circular, Mai 2005)

\n

Über Ascanio: "Beschrieben als der Dai Vernon Spaniens, kümmerte sich Ascanio so intensiv um den Zauber, dass er einen großen Teil seines Lebens damit verbrachte, kreativ, tief und brillant darüber nachzudenken: was es ist und sein Potenzial. Kein Detail war zu unbedeutend, um seine Aufmerksamkeit zu entgehen. Zufällig, falls du denkst, dass Ascanio nicht praktizierte, was er predigte, war er ein FISM Kartenmeister (als Amateure!)." - Phil Willmarth (The Linking Ring, Mai 2005)

\n

"Ascanio ist tot, aber sein Werk lebt weiter für uns. Und so lebt großartige Kunst über die Lebenszeit ihrer Künstler hinaus." - Jamy Ian Swiss (Genii, März 2005)\n\n

JAPANESE EDITION
Compiled and Written by Jesús Etcheverry

The Maestro left us on April 6th, 1997, but his magic remains alive. The Magic of Ascanio, in four volumes. His theories, his thinking, his philosophy, and the entirety of his card magic, including his legendary routines (with over thirty previously unreleased tricks), full of the Ascanian touch, and his magic with pocketknives.

The first volume includes:

The Structural Conception of Magic: Technique, Construction, Cover, Presentation, How to Study Magic. Ascanio's previously unpublished essays: Thoughts on Creativity, Theory Notebook of 1970. His classic articles on theory: Conception of the Magical Atmosphere, Analysis of a Trick, On Misdirection, The Fundamentals of Timing, Know Yourself, The Psychology of Palming. The interviews: Interview with a Genius of Magic, by Juan Tamariz, A Biographical Interview and My Character, by Docampo. Three juicy conversations: Arturo and Juan Chat and an essay by Aurelio Paviato.

The result is the most important theoretical book on magic ever written.

"...I was tempted to say this book will make you a better magician, but nothing can do that but yourself. What it does is show you the way. Whether you take it or not is up to you, but at least you will know what magic can be. A book for all time and a must read."
- Phil Willmarth (The Linking Ring, May 2005)

"This book is so good that all I really need say is 'Buy it, you won't be disappointed.'"
- Michael Close (MAGIC Magazine, April 2005)

"Now all of Ascanio's theoretical work has been assembled in the first volume of a planned trilogy on the magic of Arturo de Ascanio. The 30-page segment on how to study magic will be immensely useful to any student in the early years of his or her approach, and I highly recommend it to anyone attempting to approach the art in a serious manner."
- Jamy Ian Swiss (Genii, March 2005)

"In the first of four volumes of The Magic of Ascanio, to be published by Páginas, can be found some of the real secrets of magic, the ones you won't find in any other book."
- Matthew Field (The Magic Circle Circular, May 2005)

On Ascanio:

"Described as the Dai Vernon of Spain, Ascanio cared about magic so passionately that he devoted much of his life to thinking creatively, profoundly, and brilliantly about it: what it is and can be, how it is performed. No detail was too unimportant to escape his attention. Incidentally, lest you think Ascanio did not practice what he preached, he was a FISM card champion (as an amateur!)."
- Phil Willmarth (The Linking Ring, May 2005)

"Ascanio is gone, but his work is just arriving for some of us. And thus, great art continues to live beyond the life of its artisans."
- Jamy Ian Swiss (Genii, March 2005)
