Nicholas Einhorn Publishes “The Art of Magic and Sleight of Hand.”

The Art of Magic and Sleight of Hand

He is just 27 years old but has already been named the UK’s Magic Circle Close-Up Magician of the Year (his second win, his first in 1996) and has now published the tome The Art of Magic and Sleight of Hand.

The book contains his instruction and photographs by John Freeman and available at Amazon.com both in the States and in the UK.

It is interesting to read his thoughts on the exposure of magic secrets to educate. If you have visited his website(a very professional venture and on our Links of Fame), you see that he is very careful about keeping our secrets secret from prying eyes but as he noted in a recent UK interview, “It is a kind of catch-22. If there were no books telling people how to do magic, it would be difficult for people to become interested in magic.”

He has struck a great balance by turning out a quality book that demonstrates his respect for the secrets that allow us to make money entertaining. It is a great book for the student of magic or even those new to the craft.

Here is some interesting trivia. According to Amazon.com, people who purchased Mr. Einhorn’s book also purchased the following:

  • Clean Underwear from Amazon’s Target Store
  • Ladybug Rain Boots from Amazon’s Nordstrom Store
  • Arm Warmers from Amazon’s Urban Outfitters Store
  • Cheetah Print Slippers from Amazon’s Old Navy Store

    I have no idea what that means but there is apparently a desire by readers of the book to be clean and comfortable. That has got to be a good sign.
