Rediscover the Magic

Due to popular demand, the classic book, Mastering the Art of Magic by Eugene Burger, has been reissued. This oversized hardcover edition features a dust jacket and is printed on high-quality acid-free paper. It offers a wealth of magical tricks to enhance your repertoire, alongside insightful essays from Eugene, who is celebrated as one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field of magic.

The book compiles seven previously published booklets from the early 1980s, including Secrets and Mysteries, Audience Involvement, Secrets of Restaurant Magic, Eugene Burger on Matt Schulien’s Fabulous Card Discoveries, Intimate Power, The Craft of Magic, and Rediscoveries. After being out of print for years, thanks to Richard Kaufman, these invaluable resources are now available in a new 230-page hardcover format, featuring nearly 200 illustrations by Earl Oakes. The booklets have been meticulously re-typeset and include new essays from Eugene reflecting on his earlier works, his latest insights on tricks and routines, and updated magical effects. Many consider this collection to be among Eugene Burger’s finest contributions to the art of magic.
