Astonishing Essays (John Lovick)

Product detailed description

With the Astonishing Essays series, produced by Vanishing Inc., world-famous magicians can talk about topics that interest them personally or that they have a real say in, thanks to their vast experience.

The ninth book in the series, "Get Outta My Way, I'm Going To Hell," was written by John Lovick (also known as Handsome Jack). This one deals with the "Quote of the Day" trick Penn and Teller have in their repertoire.

An exact transcription of the original script, Lovick's observations from seeing the magic in person, and the thoughts of other magicians give you a glimpse into what makes a great magic trick. You'll discover the importance of proper effect construction or writing an exciting script.
