Stuart Woodward reviewed How Magicians Think by Joshua Jay
Review of 'How Magicians Think' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I didn’t think that I was so interested in magic but this book was really fascinating. Whether you are interested in Harry Houdini or Penn & Teller this book has a lot of insider anecdotes about the psychology, history and nature of magic.
It doesn’t give away much about how tricks are performed but one thing that really impressed me was the importance of speech in a magician’s performance to distract the viewer of the trick.
I could listen to this book again as it so well read by author.
