#AL SCHNEIDER MAGIC THEORY MANUAL#
By technique, a magician refers to manual (by hand) maneuvers. Technique can get you far, but you can accomplish miracles with pure misdirection. The crucial principle of magic is misdirection. You might even perform the Cups and Balls yourself, but Ricky Jay-and admirer of Slydini and Malini-can still misdirect every magician in the theater when he performs the Cups and Balls. The conjuror like Slydini, proficient in the theory of misdirection, can fool you with a balls trick whose secret you already know. Misdirection came so naturally to Slydini that Slydini would sometimes misdirect himself! (more on that later) Malini’s hands were so small that he couldn’t conceal the standard magician’s props in his hand, not even a playing card-but the power of his gaze was such that he could cause inattentional blindness and convince you that a baseball disappeared in midair (just by looking upward and apparently tossing the ball up).

Every professional magician strives to control an audience’s attention like the masters of misdirection-Tommy Wonder, Slydini, or like magician Max Malini.

It may be that Al Schneider said it best. In a day and age when single-trick DVDs can cost $30.00 or more, you’ll find more magical value in this book than perhaps any other single investment you’ve ever made in magic. And, if you think you know what “Matrix” is all about, wait until you read the comprehensive treatment of the effect that you’ll find in this book, including a discussion about its complete history, the philosophy of the effect, its many variations, and more…and all from its creator. One could easily build a complete close-up act from the material presented here. There are tricks with coins, cards, cups and balls, napkins, bracelets, finger rings, and more. Al Schneider Magic secures his reputation as not only one of magic’s great creators but also as one of its great theoreticians. Al Schneider has devoted his life to not only creating great magic but in uncovering exactly what it is that makes magic effective for audiences and it’s that analytical approach to creating powerful magic that informs all of the effects taught in this landmark work.

It’s time for Al Schneider Magic.Īl Schneider’s place in magic history would be secure if the now-classic “Matrix” effect was all he ever created but, as it turns out, “Matrix” was merely the tip of the iceberg. It’s a rare occurrence when a magic book of such high caliber is produced, but at long last, the wait is over. A book that represents the life’s work of one of magic’s most gifted artists. A book that, even on casual perusal, demands to be studied for a lifetime. In the world of magic literature, where there’s an overabundance of the ordinary, every so often, a book comes along that clearly stands out from the rehashed and recycled norm.
