Magic has captivated humanity for centuries, evoking a wide range of emotions and demonstrating limitless possibilities. Magicians, once viewed with suspicion, have long served as conduits to parallel worlds, performing feats from invoking spirits to altering natural laws through sleight of hand. Before modern fantasy genres, magic was the ultimate imaginative realm. As historical pioneers of special effects, magicians consistently amaze us by making the impossible real. This book explores over 500 years of the stunning visual culture of the world's greatest magicians.
