This book should be coming out any day now. So I thought it was time to start a thread on it.
The book is been published by Hermetic Press. They are now owned by Penguin Magic - so they will be the first place to hear more information about the release. I have already heard of some magicians picking up a copy at a recent Penguin Magic live magic expo. So hopefully it won't be long until they start shipping. I wasn't sure if I would be interested in this book. But the recent review in GENII has pointed out a few unusual effects that are exactly the sort of thing I enjoy. So I can't wait to learn more about Vanni Bossi's approach to magic. Anyone else have any updates about the book? |

My timing was spot on.
The book has just been released officially: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7619 |

I didn't know about Vanni until I read his book. I wish I could have met him. Seeing these routines performed by him would have been a treat.

Will this only be available through penguin? $35 shipping to Germany is a little bit too much for a $60 book for me. Nevertheless, it looks quite promising.

He was a great magician and his handle and technique give life to real magic.
I do not know what will be inside of this book but I had known him and seen him in action... he was a marvellous magician that is able to create real miracle. |

Would someone be so kind as to post the table of contents? Wondering how many of the 56 tricks are card vs coin vs "things".

Is the material mostly for table work? Stand up? Parlor? If anyone could enlighten us, that would help out. I have to admit, I only have cursory exposure to his work, so I don't know whether or not this book interests me.
Thanks |

Most of what I've seen from Vanni was close-up/parlor style.
FWIW: His "Pencil Through Bill" is something that has to be seen to be believed. I saw him perform this on video and it's killer. Both the bill and pencil can be borrowed...and a real hole is created...and then restored.

When a friend of mine told me about the trick with the card on the back of the car I thought it was mythologizing Vanni a bit. Knowing that this is in now in print I am even more baffled. I privately chatted with Vanni, he was a great great guy...

Maybe it is a little bit expensive but I think that could well worth every single penny!

I dunno, I saw the price and thought, "That's it?"
Of course, I may be getting used to the pricey limited edition mentalism releases.

Got a look at this beautiful book, the methods are very creative. I saw a variety of table stuff then close-up items.
There was a "myth" of an effect in that book I'm going to be excited to learn. I will purchase the book but I was happy to at least peruse through it. |

This is currently listed on Vanishing Inc UK but showing as out of stock. Not seen it listed anywhere else (other than Penguin) but it's a good sign that those of us outside the US will be able to pick this up without the hassle of international shipping.
