Par Stephen Minch
Le deuxième tome d’un ouvrage qui nous offre en héritage toute une vie consacrée à la magie… Celui du magicien unanimement respecté par ses pairs : Dai Vernon.
Rares sont les livres à prétendre au rang de classique avant même leur impression. Cette mine d’or en fait partie.
Plus de 50 techniques et tours de Dai Vernon sont ici expliqués minutieusement, et qui ont fait du “Professeur” une légende vivante parmi les magiciens.
Livre en téléchargement, en anglais, 280 pages, 177 illustrations et 27 photos historiques.
