Buxton Books presents an evening of close-up magic with the world renowned Joshua Jay to celebrate his newest novel, How Magicians Think!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

“In 52 short, compulsively readable essays, Jay describes how he does it, whether it’s through the making of illusions, the psychology behind them, or the way technology influences the world of magic. He considers the aesthetics of performance, discusses contemporary masters, including David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, and David Blaine, and details how magicians hone their craft. And answers questions like: Can a magic trick be too good? How do you saw a person in half? Is there real magic in the universe? The answers, like so much in magic and life, depend on you.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Joshua Jay has performed on stages in over 100 countries and was awarded the top prize at the World Magic Seminar. Most recently, Joshua was awarded Magician of the Year 2020 by the Society of American Magicians Parent Assembly for his contribution to the art of magic.
