Verbal Magic by Juan Tamariz. 2008 Hermetic Press. First Edition

Description

FROM THE BOOKJACKET:
It's an old adage of conjuring:
The strongest magic happens in the hands of the audience. A lesser-known corollary to this is: The more that happens there, the stronger the magic.  So what if it all happened in their hands?  What if the magician wasn't even in the room? What if only his voice were guiding them...
From the radio-or the television-or from far away?
and the magic happened while they did everything!
That is what Spain's greatest magician, Juan Tamariz, asked himself. And from this question sprang a body of magic that has astonished vast audiences in Spain and Latin America when performed on radio and television, on stage and close up. It is magic that has fooled both the public and master magicians. Using only a few playing cards, pieces of paper and other common objects as props, audiences are led through a variety of entertaining processes that lead to their utter amazement. Through clever principles, old and new, combined with cunning psychology and ground-breaking strategies, Juan Tamariz makes magic happen in everyone's hands. He fools people into amazing themselves! Further, as you follow the radio
transcripts in these pages, he will fool you, too.
Open this book and join the amazed. Then share the amazement and fun with your audiences, whether they are listening to the radio, watching television or in the room with you.
