Absolute Magic - Derren Brown
	Absolute Magic, the second book to be written by Derren Brown, has a detailed study of how to make close up magic convincing. It is a rich and witty journey through the unique thinking of one of the world's foremost magician / mentalists, Derren Brown. Absolute Magic is expressed in the most memorable and vivid prose and is a necessary modern classic for the magician or mentalist striving to make his performances more powerful. This is a manifesto for performing excellence, not a mere collection of routines. But those who study it carefully will find much practical information, not only on close up magic (Derren's emotion packed presentation for the floating ring, for example) and mentalism, but on Derren's unique approach to theatrical pick-pocketing, of which he has considerable experience. This is not a book for the casual reader, or beginner in magic. Hardbound, 251 pages.
