The Magic of Ascanio Book Vol. 1

PRE OWNED

Excellent pre owned condition

It's hard to believe that The Maestro, Arturo de Ascanio, left us in 1997. That's mostly because his influence on the world of magic remains as alive as ever, permeating card magic for generations.

To ensure his legacy lives on forever, Jesus Etcheverry compiled Ascanio's legendary card magic (including many unreleased effects), theories, thinking and philosophy into a tremendous four-volume set.

While all these books are phenomenal, many agree that this first volume, Magic of Ascanio - The Structural Conception of Magic, is a must-read for all serious students of magic. The first book in the series is a real gem because Ascanio lays out his entire worldview of magic. It's one of the most important theory books on magic ever written.

It comes with our highest recommendation.
