The Intuitive Magician : Mastering Magic through Improvisation

With over 40 years' experience in magic and as one of only a handful of professional magic teachers worldwide, Justin Higham is in a unique position to write about the challenges magicians face in learning and performing magic. This book offers valuable insights into why magicians find it hard to perform impromptu: why they forget their tricks and why things so often do not pan out as expected. I have learned the trick, the method, the patter, the misdirection, so why is it not working for me? Drawing from over 3500 individual magic lessons given by Higham over the past 12 years, this guide will help the intermediate student reach their goal of becoming an authentic, spontaneous and confident magician. The real secret as revealed here is to master magic through improvisation.
