Description
FRENCH BOOK
"The art of prestidigitation draws its artifices from the dexterity of hands, the subtleties of the mind, and all the wonderful feats produced by the exact sciences."
With this simple rule that prefers illusion over trickery, Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin (1805-1871) revolutionized the magic show. A watchmaker like his father and a prolific inventor, he put his passion for mechanics and his creativity at the service of an art he completely revamped. He inspired generations of illusionists to this day, including the famous Harry Houdini, who took this name in homage to his illustrious predecessor.
Here are gathered the texts that Robert-Houdin dedicated to magic. Besides his Memoirs, you will find his revealed tricks explained and commented upon, a true method for both beginner and advanced magicians: the ultimate reference in prestidigitation.
