Scripting Magic by Pete McCabe Volumes One and Two

Description

Note: Pre-owned but in excellent like-new condition! The only thing we can see is that with the books completely closed and looking down at the top edges that are a few very thin black lines and some light spotting (See 2nd picture). Otherwise these two books are completely clean both inside and out!

When Scripting Magic was first released in 2007, it was an immediate, surprise sensation. Magicians around the world, hungry for ways to improve their magic, were thrilled to have a volume dedicated to the vital question: What do you say when you perform?

Volume 2

Professional writer Pete McCabe will teach you one of the toughest parts of magic – writing an engaging, interesting and meaningful script. Instead of just going over the theory, this book features various exercises which in conjunction with the included worksheets will help you perfect your scripting.

One of the best ways of learning is observation. That is way there are countless scripts from many world class magicians included in this book, to help you understand how one effect can be performed in many completely different ways with just a subtle change of script.

Amongst the contributors to this book are Roberto Giobbi, Juan Tamariz, Eugene Burger, Howard Hamburg, Joshua Jay, Andi Gladwin, Max Maven and many others.
