Extending Magic Beyond Credibility by John Booth - eBook DOWNLOAD

\n

John Booth, w Ewentalu Magii Poza Credibilitą, swojej trzynastym (i najlepszym?) książce na temat magii, podsumowuje ponad 70 lat doświadczeń z sztuczną sztuką i rozważa niektóre z jej najtrwańszych tajemnic, zagadnień ciekawych oraz fascynujących postaci. Od legendarnych efektów takich jak skrzynia ciężka i lekka Robert-Houdina i Włócznia Indyjska do pochodzenia magii ptaków, ventryloquizmu i automata, Ewentalu Magii Poza Credibilitą ma znane Boothowe mieszanie tajemnic, biografii, filozofii i romantycznej historii. Dla studenta historii magii lub osoby zainteresowanej sztuką i jej wielu aspektach, Ewental Magii Poza Credibilitą jest nie tylko książką o historii magii. Jest to podziwiająca lektura, którą trudno będzie zatrzymać, napisana przez człowieka, który wie swoje temat... i żył go.
