Professor Louis Hoffmann was a prolific writer and honorary Vice-President of The Magic Circle. Renowned as an authority on all aspects of magic, his groundbreaking book, Modern Magic captures an unparalleled record of the tricks and secrets of the conjuring world at the end of the 19th century—the golden age of illusion.
With over 300 superb illustrations, detailed descriptions, and a keen focus on artistry, Modern Magic has stood the test of time and still inspires magicians today. Discover firsthand why Hoffmann was hailed by Houdini as “The brightest star in the firmament of magical literature.”
This remastered edition includes the original 1876 work, unabridged, with careful amends to text for clarity and limited edition gold foil cover.
SciFi Fan –
Great edition of this classic book. Not an exact replica, the text has been completely re-typset making it much easier on the eye and illustrations look sharp. Like the other books in the Hey Presto range, this is in “pocket book” size – so it’s small but with over 500 page – chunky! For the price – this is a superb edition, looks great and complexity crossed referenced inside. Another fab edition to the range.
