Discover the Five Points— and the Secrets of Using Them
Long
out of print and widely sought after, The Five Points in Magic is Juan
Tamariz's highly regarded study of the physical and psychological secrets
that use the body to fool the mind. He shows in detail how each of these
five possessions—
•
The Eyes
• The Voice
• The Hands
• The Feet
• The Body
can
be marshaled to create entertaining and seemingly impossible happenings.
In
The Five Points in Magic, Juan Tamariz teaches magicians
that it is not the hands alone that deceive, but also the feet, the
body, the eyes and the voice. It is only through a full understanding
of all five of these tools of nature and communication that the conjurer
can spin a complete web of illusion that traps and then transports his
audiences into the astonishing realm he has prepared for them.
These
five tools are essential and invaluable to the stage conjurer and the
close-up magician alike, and they are clearly analyzed and taught by
Tamariz from his vantage point of years of successful professional performance
in both venues. Tamariz enhances the clarity of his ideas and explanations
with solid examples drawn from his own repertoire. As the reader learns
seminal principles, he also learns these professional effects and techniques—
•
The Appearing Card on Handkerchief
• Crossing the Gaz
• Double Crossing the Gaze
• The Ribbonspread Force
• Al's Topper (a book test)
• Protean Poker
• Upper Cut (a Tamarisian study of Larry Jennings's 'Coin Cut')
There
is no other book that so quickly, efficiently and entertainingly puts
into the reader's hands the tools required to raise his performances
to a level of true professionalism and draw his audiences into the world
of magic.
The
text and design of this new edition have been revised to provide added
clarity for readers of this valuable modern classic of magic.
