First published in the US in 1943. Showmanship for Magicians is a work by semi-professional magician and author Dariel Fitzkee. It is the first in the Fitzkee Trilogy, a classic collection that is still read widely by magicians, conjurors and illusionists alike.
Fitzkee's early books were shorter works focused on specific magic tricks. Books like Cut and Restored Rope and Manipulation (1929) and Linking Ring Manipulation (1930) described multiple variations of these classic tricks.
But his most enduring written works were the Fitzkee Trilogy, starting with Showmanship for Magicians. Many magicians throughout the second half of the 20th century have considered it to be a cornerstone work in the field, including the actor Steve Martin who was fanatical about magic as a young man. He described the book as ...more important to me than The Catcher in the Rye.
First published in the US in 1945. Magic by Misdirection applies the psychology of deception to the art of magic. The finest minds of magic have recognized it an important and monumental work on the subject. It makes clear the psychological devices and methods you can use to deceive your audience: - Disguise - Attention Control - Simulation - Dissimulation - Interpretation - Maneuver - Pretense - Ruse - Anticipation - Diversion - Monotony - Premature Consummation - Confusion - Suggestion... and much more. Fitzkee supplies practical examples in the form of tricks incorporating and utilizing these principles.

An incredible 365 optical illusions.
Why not experience a mindbender every day? This book is a great way to enjoy an optical illusion every day or take them in all at once.
Every page features an optical illusion from one of the three main types - literal, physiological and cognitive.
Literal optical illusions create images that are unique from the objects that make them. Physiological illusions occur when the eyes and brain are subjected to excessive stimulation by brightness, color, size, position, tilt or movement. Cognitive illusions are the result of unconscious inferences. All trick the mind into perceiving something altogether different than what the eyes see.
The 365 illusions here are based on those variations. There are instantly recognizable classics that trick the eye no matter how many times you see them, and dozens of new ones, like astounding sidewalk illusions and masterful architecture. There are illustrations, paintings and graphics, as well as color and black-and-white photographs of scenes ranging from buildings to landscapes.
Concise text includes a hint about the illusion - for those who can't see it - and a short description of how it works.
Bright, colorful and sure to boggle, this is an ideal gift selection for all ages.
