Geoff Latta: The Long Goodbye by Stephen Minch & Stephen Hobbs - Book

\n

„Er war so gut. Nein, er war sogar besser – denn kein Erzählung, kein Buch, keine Fotografie oder gar ein Video werden jemals die Wirklichkeit einfangen können, wie es sich anfühlte, diese Hände in der Nähe zu haben.“

• „Ich traf ihn zum ersten Mal im Jahr 1982. Damals hielt ich mich für ziemlich geschickt mit Karten und Münzen. Nun, nach nur ein paar kurzen Stunden erkannte ich, wie falsch ich war. Zum ersten Mal sah ich das Beste! Geoff Lattas Techniken, seine Timing, sein Vortrag – perfekt. Er hatte eine analytische Art zu denken, die mir noch nie jemand beigebracht hat. Wenn es einen schnelleren Weg von Punkt A nach Punkt B gab, fand Geoff ihn aus. Von diesem Tag an verbrachte ich viel Zeit mit ihm und kann ehrlich sagen, vom ersten Tag unserer Begegnung bis heute, war Geoff Lattas Talent unübertroffen.“

• „Seine Fähigkeiten waren so groß, dass man direkt auf die Täuschung schauen konnte und nichts zu sehen war, keine Spur von Betrug, weil Geoff seine Ausführung einfach und natürliche Perfektion hatte.“
\n
• - Eric Mead
\n
• „Geoff war ein wunderbarer Karten- und Münztrickmeister. Er war kreativ und technisch brillant. Seine Ausführung des Retention of Vision V vanishes, der Diagonal Palm Shifts und des Classic Passes waren so gut wie ich sie je gesehen habe. Die Konstruktion seiner Rituale sind ein Zeugnis seines genialen Denkens in Bezug auf Magie. Ich wünschte nur, du hättest ihn persönlich sehen können. Er war ein Künstler.“

• „Geoff erschien selten, aber wenn er es tat, war es wie eine Besuch von einem Olympier. Er war beeindruckend und talentiert, aber Gott segne ihn, er war gleichzeitig großzügig.“

• - David Regal
\n
• „Dies ist ein Buch, das lange auf sich warten ließ. Ich habe 30 Jahre lang darauf gewartet, dass es erscheint und es ist endlich hier. Dieses fantastische Buch wird neben Roth's Expert Coin Magic und J.B. Bobo's Modern Coin Magic in deine Bibliothek gehören, als eines der Kernressourcen für Münztricks. Die Arbeiten von Geoffrey Latta treten endlich aus dem Untergrund ins Licht.“

Die Welt des modernen Münztricks hat Geoffrey Latta zu einem Innovator und Künstler mit unübertroffener Leistung aufgestuft, nur hinter seinem Mentor David Roth. Seine unterirdische Reputation begann in den 1970er Jahren und kam im 1980er Jahrhundert zur Fruchtbarkeit, als eine Auswahl seiner frühen Arbeiten in Richards Kaufmans herausragendem Sammlungsbuch CoinMagic veröffentlicht wurde. Seine Reputation hat sich fortgesetzt und, Jahre nach seinem frühzeitigen Tod, ist sie nicht abgeflaut.

Originale englische Beschreibung

"He was that good. No, he was better--because no story, no book, no photograph, not even video, will ever truly capture what it was like to see those hands up close."
- Jamy Ian Swiss

"I first met Geoff around 1982. At that time, I considered myself quite accomplished with cards and coins. Well, after only a few short hours, I realized just how wrong I was. For the first time, I was seeing the very best! Geoff's techniques, his timing, his delivery -- perfect. He had an analytical way of thinking unlike anyone I had ever sat down with. If there was a faster way to get from point A to point B, Geoff figured it out. From then on, I spent much time with Geoff, and I can honestly say, from the first day I met him right up to the present, Geoff's talent was and is unequaled."
- Mike Gallo

"So great was his prowess that one could stare right at the sleight-of-hand, and there was nothing to see, no hint of deception, because Geoff's execution was easy and natural perfection."
- Eric Mead

"Geoff was a wonderful sleight-of-hand performer with coins and cards. He was creative and technically brilliant. His execution of the Retention of Vision Vanish, as well as the Diagonal Palm Shift and the Classic Pass were as good as I've ever seen. The construction of his routines is a testament to his ingenious way of thinking about magic. I only wish you could have seen him perform in person. He was an artist."
- David Roth

"Geoff made infrequent appearances, but when he did, it was like having a visit from an Olympian. See, he was impressive, and dauntingly talented, but bless him, he was equally generous."
- David Regal

"This is a book that has been a long time in coming. I have waited for 30 years to see it and it's finally here. This amazing book will go into your library next to Roth's Expert Coin Magic and J.B. Bobo's Modern Coin Magic, as one of the core resources for coin magic. Geoff Latta's work is finally emerging from the underground into the light."
- Peter Samelson

The world of modern coin magic has awarded Geoffrey Latta towering status as an innovator and artist, second only to his mentor, David Roth. His underground reputation began in the 1970s and came to fruition in the 1980s, when a selection of his early work was featured in Richard Kaufman's outstanding compilation, CoinMagic. His reputation has continued to grow and, years after his premature death, it has not waned.

The Long Goodbye presents all of Latta's known coin magic, published and unpublished. It is a record of brilliant innovation that coin-magic aficionados will be absorbing, mastering and emulating for years to come.

Latta's large body of work is presented in these pages, with attention paid not only to the sleights, but also to the subtle construction, psychology and choreography that were the hallmark of his magic; the broad strokes and the fine. It is a book that no one cognizant of Latta's accomplishments will hesitate to place beside the classic texts on coin magic.

344 pages. Over 720 photographs. 48 tricks including over 25 sleights.
