From the first person to make advancements with electronics in magic. Anverdi has consented to allow all of his highly guarded secrets to be told in this definitive book. Incredible mysteries presented with Silks, Sponge Balls, Liquids and Mentalism. Over 190 pages of explicit line drawings, text and rare electronic circuit diagrams. It's all here. This long awaited book covers the beginning of Anverdi's brilliant theories, his miracles, and much more. Written by Anverdi himself, with a special insight only he could bestow.
This book is a glorious throwback to the days when making your own magic was all part and parcel of being a performer. Before the internet and the surfeit of dealers. When you were a kid with little money, you made your magic and you performed your magic. by making your own magic from a book you became intimately involved with the effect and often would make little changes to suit your performance or your abilities better.
And what finer place to learn to build your own magic than from Anverdi? This book will give you the opportunity to make your "mechanical" magic of the highest standard. So go ahead, turn the pages, get inspired, build your favorite trick and then amuse and amaze your audience! A critique of Anverdi's chapter on Miracles with electronics is tipped in. Contains information concerning the equivalent solid state device, along with corrections to Schematics.
