GIBECIÈRE
First, can you pronounce it? Second, do you know what it is? For those wondering, it is pronounced zhee-buh-see-air. If you know that a gibecière is what eighteenth-century French street conjurers called the pouch in which they carried their props, you are well informed. If you know Gibecière is the name of the most respected journal ever published on the history of conjuring, you are among a select group that really knows their magic. Since we think Gibecière is the most remarkable conjuring periodical in the world, with every issue uncovering previously undocumented history… And since Hermetic Press’s Stephen Minch also happens to be the editor of Gibecière… We have decided to offer copies of it to our customers. Each issue contains from 137 to 238 pages, printed in color, on fine paper, sewn-bound, no advertising, all meat, with articles by magic’s top historians, rare works reprinted, first English translations published, topics examined in depth, myths exposed, history corrected. Original articles by Ricky Jay, Jim Steinmeyer, Juan Tamariz, Mike Caveney, Martin Gardner, William Kalush and many more. While wide in its scope, Gibecière is particularly interested in going beyond the late 1800s and early 1900s where most magic history dwells. Instead, it explores the true roots of the art, bringing to light obscure conjuring knowledge from the 1400s through the 1800s. Beautiful in form, unparalleled in content, Gibecière is a hidden jewel. Currently, there are fifteen issues, which we are offering separately. Or you may buy the full run for a remarkably reduced price. $39.95 per issue or $529 for the whole set. One more thing—every order of Gibecière will receive a free download of Stephen Minch’s capsule history of close-up magic, From Witchcraft to Card Tricks, freshly revised and expanded. This PDF e-book normally sells for $7.00, but buy one, two or all fifteen issues of Gibecière and it is yours for the asking. Or, if you prefer, purchase it separately.
