“When I was ten, I received a book by Frank Garcia and George Schindler that sparked a fascination with magic, one that has stayed with me for more than fifty years. Frank Garcia was known as The Man with the Million-Dollar Hands, and anyone who saw him perform immediately understood why. He had the extraordinary ability to make the simple seem impossible.
This collection of his life, work, and magic deserves to be studied. It reveals not only why Frank Garcia had such a profound impact on the art of magic, but also why he inspired so many magicians-including me. In his hands, magic didn’t just entertain; it felt real, and that is part of his enduring legacy.”

“This book is long overdue. Frank Garcia was one of the brightest lights in the late 20th-century magic world. His performances were legendary. He could take tricks others created and turn them into miracles. Yet, there was something mysterious, almost enigmatic about the man. He was controversial, but no one could deny that he was an incredible performer. His magic and books heavily influenced generations of magicians from the 1970s through the 1990s.
In this book, we get to step behind the curtain. We get to find out about the man and his life. This book is chock-full of incredible pictures, letters, and memorabilia that make Frank live again. And there are over 80 effects, routines and moves culled from his early lecture notes, manuscripts and books that you can’t find elsewhere.
It is a beautifully produced book that is a testament to one of modern magic’s greatest. This book belongs on every magician’s shelf.”
