Magic and Showmanship A Handbook for Conjurers Dover Magic Books Henning Nelms 0800759410873 Books

Caveat Emptor! This is NOT a book of tricks or illusions. This is for the serious performing magician. This is, as the title clearly states, a book on Showmanship - this is a book on how to entertain, not just do tricks or illusions. This a book on the psychology of performing, of winning an audience, and is a very well written book on the subject as well. Lots of magicians do tricks. This book is about stagecraft, not street magic (although many of the principles will work just as well for the casual performer). If you know your tricks, this book will improve your presentation. If you're good at your craft, this book will enable you to give a better, more polished performance. But as first mentioned, this is for the serious performing magician. It's a good book for the right audience.

Magic and Showmanship A Handbook for Conjurers Dover Magic Books Henning Nelms 0800759410873 Books Reviews

Excellent Book. I'm glad I got it. It reinforces things I've known about showmanship and has given me new ideas.
This is a great resource for those wanting to learn further about how to relate to an audience. You could easily substitute the work presentation for magic in the book.
Magic and Showmanship is a book I recommend to all my writing students. It's better than almost any of the thousands of "how to write" volumes you find out there. There are all kinds of illusions in the world, and artists of all kinds employ the principles of showmanship in lots of circumstances.
This book will teach you how to outline, how to write a believable character, how to get your audience (the readers) to work with you, how to build to a climax, how to foreshadow later action, how to answer the readers' questions before they ask them, and generallly how to entertain. It's a fantastic work. I'm very happy to see it back in print.
One of the best magic books I've ever read. Every professional magician should read this and treat this as one of their "go-to" books.
This book should be one of the books that are read and referred to in every magicians library.
The showmanship chapters of this book are sure to increase the quality of any stage and personal performance.
I highly recommend this book to those who seek a profession in this area.

It's a fantastic work, and well worth chasing down.
Clear direction on everything from stage presence to posture utilizing various illusions and tricks to illustrate concepts. No wonder it is suggested in "Mysterious Stranger" by David Blaine.
