<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A useful manual for any magician or curious spectator who wonders why the tricks seem so real, this guide examines the psychological aspects of a magician's work. Exploring the ways in which human psychology plays into the methods of conjuring rather than focusing on the individual tricks alone, this explanation of the general principles of magic includes chapters on the use of misdirection, sleight of hand, and reconstruction, provides a better understanding of this ancient art, and offers a section on psychics that warns of their deceptive magic skills.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Magic in Theory</i> is charmingly clear, admirably erudite and highly readable. The chapters are gently authoritative without being numbingly complex, and sober while avoiding 'academic' sterility. Highly recommended." --<i>Fortean Times<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Lamont</b> is a research fellow at the Koestler Parapsychology unit at the University of Edinburgh.
