This magic volume series was originally designed as a correspondence course for budding magicians. Once they were collected and bound, the series has become an unparalleled reference standard for magicians. In its impact on the magic world, it is second perhaps in its influence on the art of magic only to Hoffman's Modern Magic, and many professional magicians have based their careers on the Tarbell Course.

The entire collection comprises more than one-hundred lessons in every aspect of magic including micromagic/close-up magic, escapology, mentalism and stage illusions. It is the most comprehensive literary work in magic history. The original five volumes contained sixty correspondence lessons with more than 3,000 illustrations.

In addition to teaching specific tricks, The Tarbell Course also teaches patter, marketing, the history of magic, ethics, advertising, routining, presentation, diction and elocution, magic theory, performance theory, acting, misdirection, timing and showmanship.

Volume 7 of the series was written by Harry Lorayne and compiled from contributions by other magicians; it is valued largely for its comprehensive index, subdivided by title, contributor, and properties, to the first seven volumes.

Volume 8 of the series was compiled and edited by Richard J. Kaufman and Steve Burton. It collected Harlan Tarbell's widely scattered and previously uncollected writings on magic, which Kaufman then fashioned into something resembling the first six volumes of the course. Since most of the book was written and illustrated by Tarbell, it is linked more closely to the rest of the course than Volume 7.

ncore une fois Claude Klingsor frappe fort !
Dans ce document de 121 pages, il relate par le détail 28 effets de Mentalisme et de magie paranormale. Pouvant constituer un véritable numéro complet, il allie de nombreuses techniques connues : fil invisible, colles spéciales, pliages de papiers, électronique de pointe, transmission codée, etc.

Ayant une connaissance encyclopédique de toutes les techniques magiques employées depuis des décennies voire des siècles, il mélange habilement ancien et moderne, trucs éprouvés et magie technologique.

Rien que les effets créés grâce à sa cabine spirite miniature vaut amplement le prix de ce livre. Issu d'un principe créé par Steward James, la cabine spirite de Klingsor prend un coup de jeune terrible grâce à l'emploi de moteurs et de récepteurs !

Avec Klingsor, les esprits ont intérêt à se tenir à carreau !
