Transformations
Creating Magic Out Of Tricks
by Larry Hass

In Transformations: Creating Magic Out of Tricks, Lawrence Hass uncovers some of the higher secrets for creating strong, entertaining performances of magic.

Drawing on over fifteen years of experience as a performer and as an award-winning teacher of college courses on magic performance, Dr. Hass shows that being an excellent magician does not reside in knowing lots of ?tricks,? but rather in the thoughtful application of psychological and theatrical principles that transform our best tricks into experiences of magic.

As world-famous magician Eugene Burger has said: ?This is a wonderful book written by a very talented performer. It is full of secrets. . .that will make you a better, more engaging magician.?

Along with seven clear, engaging essays on magic performance and eleven fully-realized performance pieces from Larry?s repertoire, Transformations also includes a previously unpublished routine by Eugene Burger and forewords by Jeff McBride and Marc DeSouza.
