Not only was I able to get my new Taschen book “Magic 1400s – 1950s” signed by the authors, editor and art director, but everyone in attendance was treated to an hour-long presentation on all that went into the making of the book.

This book isn’t for magicians (although they’re happy to have our support), but rather for people who appreciate great art, history, and are curious about magic.

Over 25,000 pieces were photographed for inclusion in the book, and only 1,000 made the cut. Every image has a detailed caption, and the articles are reproduced in three languages. The thing weighs a TON!!!!

My only problem with the book is that I don’t have a coffee table worthy of it. Guess I gotta buy me a new table!
