"THIS IS NOT A BOOK"
by Robert E. Neale "VERBAL MAGIC" by Juan Tamariz and Gema Navarro -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ready for Prepublication Ordering on Sept. 20 We are proud to announce these two new books, both of which we expect to ship around October 10, 2008. Ads are already beginning to appear in major journals. We regret that some of these ads are in advance of our readiness to accept your orders through the Hermetic Press Web site. This situation will be corrected by Sept. 20, at which time you will be able to order either or both books on the site and receive a considerable savings by taking advantage of our pre-publication offers. Robert E. Neale's "This Is Not a Book", his new collection of close-up magic without playing cards, will sell normally for $47 + $5 shipping. However, if you order from us by October 31, 2008, you will receive it for $39 + $5 shipping (Canada/Mexico-$14, overseas airmail-$28.00). That is an $8 savings. --410 pages in hardcover-- Juan Tamariz's "Verbal Magic", an astonishing collection of magic that happens solely in the hands of the spectators--while the magician is on the radio, television or across the room--all taken from Tamariz's professional repertoire, is normally $40 + $5 shipping, but only $35.00 + $5 shipping if ordered from us by October 31, 2008. That is another $5 in savings. --174 pages in hardcover-- And if you order both books together from us by that date, you'll get them for only $74.00 and free shipping in the USA--a total savings of $23. (We will charge only half the normal shipping cost for orders to Canada, Mexico and overseas, so that you save from $14 to $28 on the airmail cost of shipping these books separately.) We will send you full information on both books this weekend, when they will be ready for ordering on our Web site. If you simply can't wait until then, you may post your order and payment (check, money order, VISA or MasterCard) to us at the address shown below. Or you can e-mail your order to us and make payment through PayPal to our account: order@hermeticpress.com We are very excited about these two new books. We'll tell you more about why in our next message to you.

Tamariz´s book is not really a new one. It´s the translation to english of "Verbimagia", being origined through radio programmes in Spain a few years ago. It contains effects and overall a interesting resource of books and authors about this kind of magic. They are as "phone tricks", using cards and other stuff, providing instructions to the audience in order to achieve the climax "in their hands". It reminds me works of Howard Adams, Bob Hummer,.... I highly recommend this book.

Neale's book sound interesting...but a bit wary because his previous books sound interesting but had poor reviews

The effects in the Tamariz´s book have a patter about love, luck, friendship and other human feelings, there is no "classic plots". By the way, the spanish edition included a cd with some effects in the Tamariz´s voice from the original radio programmes.
From Spain we keep waiting for the real new book from this magic genius (I´ve heard titles such as "Flamenco", published firstly by Hermetic Press and then in spanish, but they are only rumours....) |

From a e mail of s Minch
The Tamariz book, Flamenco, is no closer to being finished. Juan has recently told me he has improved a number of the tricks and we need to get together so that he can show me the improvements before the book can move ahead. I don’t know when we will manage to do this, but it will probably be sometime next spring. |

From Hermetic Press homesite:
THIS IS NOT A BOOK Regular price: $47+ s/h Prepublication offer From September 20 to October 31, 2008 Buy This is Not A Book for $39 + s/h Wonder and magic surround us, yet we need a guide to see them. Historically, that guide is the magician—and Robert E. Neale is the celebrated mapmaker for this terra incognita. This new Neale collection explores the sphere of close-up magic without playing cards. In the process, it expands the borders of magic in ways never before seen. Neale takes magicians at their word when they claim their job is to provoke wonder in their audiences. As he explains in his introduction, "there are many effects ahead that are not tricks, because I am more interested in magic than I am in tricks." Beginning with the title of his book, echoing René Magritte's famous comment on the deceptive quality of all art, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," Neale begins to demonstrate how illusory our perception is and how fuzzy the borders are between the real and the unreal. Using uncomplicated sleights and props, he dares magicians to seek wonder in ways that are new and unexpected by both audiences and other magicians. • In "RobinÃs Nest" he recalls a youthful mistake and the miracle that resulted from it. • In "Breaking Bread" he resurrects an ancient Middle-Eastern ritual that produces an astonishing result and a humorous observation on the leaders of movements. • In "The Treasure Hunt" a woman makes a dream-journey to foreign lands that eventually leads her to just the right message to discover an elusive treasure. • In "Countermanded" someone receives a chilling message from the spirit world, and the unexpected ability to find humor in it. • In "The First Mystery" the true meaning of the events in the Garden of Eden is revealed with only six illustrated cards and an old sock. • An old puzzle, the Bashful Lock, becomes a metallic con game. • A color-changing knife becomes the instrument for telling a tale of love and tragedy. • Three coins bring together a collector with the ghost of Judas. And further original mysteries are evoked from topological wonders such as the Hypercard, the Trapdoor Card and some amazing origami folds. In all, This Is Not a Book guides the reader through a world of more than thirty excursions into wonder, surprise and mystery, with full presentations designed for close-up magicians and motivational speakers not afraid of mixing some meaning with their magic and entertainment. This is not a book—it is a blossoming of wonder and new places to find it. 410 pages in deluxe hardcover; 290 illustrations by Earle Oakes.

VERBAL MAGIC JUAN Tamariz & GEMA NAVARO
Regular price: $40+ s/h Prepublication offer From September 20 to October 31, 2008 Buy Verbal Magic for $35 + s/h Buy Verbal Magic and Bob Neale's This is Not A Book for $74 and get free shipping When it happens in their hands— It's an old adage of conjuring: The strongest magic happens in the hands of the audience. A lesser-known corollary to this is: The more that happens there, the stronger the magic. So what if it all happened in their hands? What if the magician wasn't even in the room? What if only his voice was guiding them... From the radio—or the television—or from far away?—and the magic happened while they did everything! That is what Spain's greatest magician, Juan Tamariz, asked himself. And from this question sprang a body of magic that has astonished vast audiences in Spain and Latin America when performed on radio and television, on stage and close up. It is magic that has fooled both the public and master magicians. Using only a few playing cards, pieces of paper and other common objects as props, audiences are led through a variety of entertaining processes that lead to their utter amazement. Through clever principles, old and new, combined with cunning psychology and ground-breaking strategies, Juan Tamariz makes magic happen in everyone's hands. He fools people into amazing themselves! Further, as you follow the radio transcripts in these pages, he will fool you, too. So open this book and join the amazed. Then share the amazement and fun with your audiences, whether they are listening to the radio, watching television or in the room with you. Follow along as Juan Tamariz tells you to take a few red and black cards from a deck and mix the colors in ways random, chaotic and independently determined. Yet, when you are finished, the colors magically separate! That's right, you perform Oil and Water for yourself and have no idea how it happened—just as thousands of people have done while listening to Juan Tamariz over the radio, on television and in live audiences. People freely choose a card, lose it in a packet, mix the cards thoroughly, and then magically discover their own selections without knowing how they did it. The magic leaves Tamariz's hands and settles in their own! This book collects over forty such tricks and presentations, all refined and tested through professional performance. Close associate Gema Navarro, under the guidance of Juan Tamariz, has meticulously transcribed presentations from tapes of numerous radio broadcasts. The transcripts are so detailed, they first let the reader fool himself, and then give him the information necessary to entertain and astonish his audiences, and the tools to devise many other effects that happen entirely in their hands and heads. Scattered in the literature of magic is a scant number of participation effects suitable for performance on radio and television; and those tricks are sought and coveted by professionals. In Verbal Magic Juan Tamariz reveals the largest body of such magic ever offered, while taking it in new directions and teaching new principles with wide-reaching possibilities for further application. He also shows that this type of magic is just as astonishing when performed close up and for theater audiences. As a final bonus, Verbal Magic provides the largest record yet, for non-Spanish speakers, of what it is like to be part of Tamariz's audience. Here is a long, in-depth look at how a master magician simultaneously entertains and mystifies. 176 pages in deluxe hardcover.

But I wait patiently for the Hermetic release of the Hofzinser book by Magic Christian.
I was led to believe that this was a translation, but the time it's taking might indicate some rewriting is taking place. ......Back to waiting. |
