• "Był taki dobry. Nie, był lepszy – bo żaden opowieść, żaden książka, żadna fotografia, nawet film nie zdoła prawdopodobieństwem pokazać tego, co było jak dotyk jego rąk." - Jamy Ian Swiss
\n
• "Pierwszy raz spotkałem Geoffa w 1982 roku. Wtedy uważałem się za doskonałego wykonawcę kart i monet. No cóż, po tylko kilku godzinach zrozumiałem, jak bardzo jestem nieprawdziwy. Dla pierwszy raz widziałem najlepsze! Techniki Geoffa, jego rytm, prezentacja – idealne. Miał on unikalny sposób myślenia, którego nigdy dotąd nie spotkałem. Jeśli było lepsze rozwiązanie do przekazania się od punktu A do B, Geoff to zauważył i rozwiązał." - Mike Gallo
\n
• "Tak duży był jego talent, że można było patrzeć na sztucę rąk, a nie było niczego do zobaczenia, żadnego podtekstu, ponieważ wykonanie Geoffa było łatwe i naturalne doskonałość." - Eric Mead
\n
• "Geoff był wspaniałym wykonawcą monet i kart. Był kreatywny i technicznie brillansny. Wykonanie jego Techniki Zatrzymania Wizji, Przeciągnięcia Diagonalnego Palca i Klasyka Passa było najlepsze, jakiego widziałem. Konstrukcja jego rutyn jest świadectwem jego genialnego podejścia do sztuki." - David Roth
\n
• "Geoff pojawiał się rzadko, ale kiedy to robił, był jak odwiedzanie Olympyjczyka. Był niezwykle wrażliwy i nadzwyczajny talent, ale błogosławieństwo, że był również równocześnie wyrazisty." - David Regal
\n
• "To książka, której czekałem przez 30 lat, a teraz jest ona tu. Jest to niezwykle fascynująca książka, która zasługuje na miejsce obok Expert Coin Magic Davida Rotha i Modern Coin Magic J.B. Bobo'a w twojej bibliotece jako jedna z kluczowych zasobów dla sztuki monetowej." - Peter Samelson
\n
• Świecenia współczesnej sztuki monetowej nadali Geoffreyowi Latta niezwykłą pozycję jako innowatora i artysty, drugiego po jego nauczycielu David Roth. Jego podziemna sława zacząła się w latach 70., a do pełni osiągnęła w latach 80., kiedy jego wcześniejsza praca została wybrana do publikacji w sztucie CoinMagic. Swoja reputacja nadal rosnie i, wielu lat po jego niespodziewanej śmierci, nie uległa zmęczeniu.
\n
• The Long Goodbye prezentuje wszystkie znane techniki monetowe Geoffa Latta, publikowane i niepublikowane. Jest to zapis brilliante innowacji, które aficionadzy sztuki monetowej będą studiować, nauczać się i kopiować przez lata.

Oryginalny opis angielski

"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.
