Beautiful art book containing wonderful poster images and history of magic.Just to clarify some of the differences between this and the earlier book:1. The original book had 650 pages, this edition has 544.2. This book is also in 3 languages (English, French and German).It still weighs around 14lbs. and is a large format art book. (Page height is nearly 15.5 inches). It's gorgeous, fairly heavy, and I'm happy to have it! Honestly, if I hadn't read about the earlier version of the book I would never guess this was "scaled down". It's still a very impressive book!From http://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2013/06/magic-1400s-1950s-released-in-new.htmlUPDATE: Re the differences between this and the larger edition, the following is from the editor of the book, Noel Daniel:"The smaller version is meant to offer readers the chance to discover the wonderful world of magic for a great price. To be able to offer a smaller version of the first edition (the larger book) at a trade price, we did need to reduce its physical size, which meant also reducing its page count and therefore the image count. Even though the smaller version is reduced by ca. 150 images of the original 900, it is still a fantastic, illustrated overview of 500 years of magic. This material has never been brought together in this manner before, and much of it has never been published. I spent many, many months personally visiting archives and incredible private collections to select these images from the original 30,000 that I gathered. Both the large and smaller versions are important publishing events in the history of magic.In terms of the images that I cut from the original larger size, of course, it was very hard, as all of the images mean a great deal to me. However, I tried to retain critical images that I felt readers would like to see, while cutting images that perhaps were repeated in some aspect or contained information that could be found in other images."
As my husband put it, this book (like some other monsters published by Taschen, such as one on Hieronymus Bosch) is more than a coffee-table book—it’s practically big enough to be the coffee table itself. I kid you not, it’s almost too heavy to lift. If you or someone you know is a fan of stage magic, though, it’s a must… and, at its current (2017) price on Amazon, quite a bargain (I think it used to be much more expensive).Although the book traces stage magic back to its medieval origins among traveling jugglers and purveyors of the cups-and-ball trick, it focuses on the entertainment’s heyday, the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The text, in English, French, and German, provides an interesting history, detailing the different performance venues, types of tricks, and individual magicians who were popular at different times. I think the book’s greatest draw, though, is the endless array of posters used to advertise the acts, all displayed in full color and many at full page size or even two pages (quite a spread, given the size of the book), and each extensively captioned in the same three languages. The best of these lithographed posters, some of them nine feet tall, are real works of art, full of floating ladies, grinning skeletons, and dancing devils… not to mention the dapper, tuxedoed magicians themselves. There are also a fair number of black-and-white photos of the magicians performing.In fairness, if you are not fascinated by stage magic, the book’s awkward size and tendency to repetition (not surprisingly, many of the posters are very similar to one another) may make it less than appealing. For anyone who does want to see the many skillful ways in which people can be fooled—and made to love every minute of it—though, I heartily recommend it.
This volume about magic is one I'll cherish. It was an absolutely incredible bargain at the Amazon price of about $50, NEW. It weighs over 10 pounds and measures more than 10 by 15 inches. It has about 500 pages of thick paper and comes in a heavy slipcase. It provides an insightful historical perspective on the evolution of the art of magic, specifically on the ways individual performers have adapted their images, acts, advertising, and venues to stay relevant in response to changes in society, technology, audiences, and the entertainment industry in general.Each chapter has a brief essay (which appears in English, German, and French), but the star of this book is the spectacular treasure trove of graphics (with captions also in all three languages). Chapter 7 has only about three paragraphs of text on Houdini, but over 20 pages of outstanding Houdini photos and posters advertising his performances.There are many rare photos and beautifully reproduced lithographs throughout. This gem of a book is a fabulous tribute to the fantastic world of magic and magicians, and a real visual treat.
What a great book. Massive in size, Full Color and B&W reproductions of the early Magicians and their advertisements, most from the "Golden Age" of magic.This book is so massive, you need a table to read it on, it definitely is not a lap book. Has many short chapters on the magicians, all wrote in Three different languages , but easy to follow.If interested in magicians and their past history told in photos and posters, this is for you.
