This is the PDF Version of this MAJOR NEW RELEASE!!

Between 1998-2000 Bob Neale wrote three important books, each one on a topic that is central to magicians: illusion, wonder, and magic itself.

An Essay on Magic is Book 3 in this long-awaited, highly acclaimed TRILOGY OF MAGIC. In these pages Bob Neale articulates his important, influential general theory of magic. The theory both explains and celebrates the artful work of magicians by showing how stage magic grows out of everyday human needs and desires. Bob Neale also shows how his theory can help magicians create performances with greater significance and lasting impact.

An Essay on Magic includes 38 of Bob Neale’s innovative magic routines, all of which are published here for the first time. Each routine comes with a fully developed presentation. As an extra bonus, this book includes Very Small Worlds—a separate manuscript that develops two powerful new principles for astonishing magic with playing cards.
