The TASCHEN Book of MAGIC

As longtime fans and admirers of the TASCHEN art books, we have wondered when the “magic book” would come for severals years now. When we first heard it was going to become a reality a few years ago and that Mike Caveney and Jim Steinmeyer were involved, we didn’t think it could come soon enough. Anyone familiar with TASCHEN books knows they are of the highest quality and some might say as beautiful as the art they showcase. Expensive books they are (a few limited editions sell for upwards of $10,000), MAGIC is no exception and priced at $200. However, for a 650 page master archive of our arts history (1400-1950), is a fair price in our opinion and well worth it. We have already placed our order and can’t wait to divulge its pages.

MAGIC, 1400-1950, is a book on the art of magic featuring 500 years of magic’s dazzling visual culture as a performing art. Read more information and leaf through a sample of the book on the TASCHEN website.
