Beyond Deception

The Theory & Technique for Creating Original Magic

 

Beyond Deception (Volume 1) presents many different ways of creating original and powerful magic performances. There are a number of different things you can do here:

 

1. Read excerpts from Beyond Deception: The Theory and Technique of Creating Original Magic. (Just click one of the links below.)

 

2. Explore additional ideas and exercises that were not included in the book itself on the "Resources" page. This area will be updated from time to time, so please do check back.

 

3. Leave your personal stories of how you've applied the ideas and techniques from the book to create your own magic. Reader's Stories is the place for this. As soon as we've collected a sufficient number of such stories, we will post them here, as well.
