Wandcraft - Making & Using a Magic Wand

"The wand is an essential tool for magicians, and this book is an essential companion that teaches how, and why, to add this symbol of might to your own magic." Steve Cohen (Chamber Magic)

Despite being a quintessential symbol of the art of magic for centuries, the magic wand has been largely abandoned in the current era of conjuring. Many modern magicians have seemingly deemed it an unnecessary and dated prop, losing sight of the potential power it can wield.

With Wandcraft, Judge Gary Brown and Dr. Lawrence Hass team up to offer a fresh and original look at magic's most cherished tool including:

• 6 professional quality, fully-scripted magic routines that meaningfully incorporate a magic wand
• Detailed instructions on how to construct 5 different styles of simple, yet gorgeous, wands
• An examination of the history of magic wands and practical theory that will help you uncover the secrets to bringing this powerful instrument to life in both your heart and hands

"Wandcraft is essential reading for any magician. It is a practical guide to making your own magic wand that also re-empowers this ancient magical tool for modern times." Jeff McBride (Grandmaster of Magic)

"Wandcraft covers everything a magician needs to know about using a magic wand. Aside from clarifying ten various uses, Judge Brown offers tips to help you make your own wand. And, yes, a few of his favorite tricks are included. I am happy to include this in my library." George Schindler (Dean of the Society of American Magicians)

"Of all the books on making and using magic wands I've read, this is the only one." Harrison Greenbaum (America's Got Talent, The Illusionists: Direct from Broadway, owes Gary a favor)
