THE SECRET IS OUT! I'm delighted to announce that The Inventive Magician's Handbook . . . with Props will be released on October 1 by Theory & Art of Magic Press! This project is the culmination of years of collaborative work with the amazing Larry Hass and a team of talented artists to bring a vision to life. That vision, broadly speaking, is this: a how-to guide to magic innovation for magicians who wish to bring their own creative approach to devising new effects and presentations. The Inventive Magician's Handbook offers theories embodied in 14 original magic effects, most with complete scripts. The book includes a curated kit containing never-before-available props for many of these effects, as well as access to downloadable props and videos. I spent the weekend examining the final version of the book and materials, and, well, I was overwhelmed with the fine product that Larry and his team have produced.

Special thanks to everyone who helped make this a reality - there are too many to list in this post - as a project like this takes a village! But watch this space - in the coming weeks, I hope to offer some insights into the process, which will include mention of many of the talented and kind folks who contributed to this amazing process.
