After over 450 reviews in the Genii Magazine "Light from the Lamp" column, Jamy Ian Swiss retired from reviewing books in 2013. Now it seems he is suffering from withdrawal. Now he's back writing regular reviews in the Lyons Den. (www.magicana.com/lyonsden).
His first review will be released this Friday, October 21, featuring the new book The Performance Pieces & Divertissements of the Famous Handsome Jack etc. by Handsome Jack and annotated by John Lovick. Funding for this project is provided by an endowment to Magicana by the late Pat Lyons. Pat was an accomplished commercial artist, pulled into the world of magic by her husband, P. Howard Lyons. Together they created Ibidem, combining Pat’s individually silkscreened covers and interior illustrations with Howard’s curatorial eye for creative approaches to magic. The Lyons Den, named in honour of Pat and Howard, is just the first of a variety of initiatives being developed by Magicana thanks to the generosity and vision of Pat Lyons. |
