Astonishing Essays Complete Set

In early 2019, to celebrate our 10-year anniversary as a company, we launched an ambitious three-year project centered around our commitment to helping you become a better magician. Now, as this project comes to an end, we are commemorating this incredible endeavor by making the entire 10-book collection available in one set for the first time ever.

Astonishing Essays are small, attractive books that challenge how you think about and approach magic. We partnered with some of the finest thinkers in our industry to discuss the topics they are most passionate about.

There is no fluff in any of these essays. Each book was designed to be read in one sitting. They are meatier than a blog article but shorter than a full book. Yet, that has no bearing on the value of the content. Anyone who reads all 10 essays will undoubtedly walk away a better magician.

The response to our Astonishing Essays project was incredible. We are definitely bittersweet that it is coming to an end. But, we are thrilled to celebrate it with this special box set featuring all 10 Astonishing Essays. It’s essentially like a 10-step program to becoming the best possible magician you can be.

Included in “Astonishing Essays Complete Set (Vol. 1- 10)”

2. The A,B, Z’s of Magic by Rob Zabrecky

3. Diary of a Prison Magician

This captivating tale is about a prison inmate that uses magic as his way of coping with a life sentence.

It is both touching and fun, and also speaks to the enduring power of magic for audiences and magicians alike.

4. Dying to Change by Dr. Lawrence Hass

While many magic books talk about card tricks and sleight-of-hand moves, Dying to Change focuses on the idea of magic as entertainment. Dr. Lawrence Hass, who left his job as a tenured professor to create a thriving full-time magic business, dives into what it takes to perform magic successfully and the impact it can have on our lives.

5. The Trickster Spirit by Robert E. Neale

Beyond being one of the most respected authors and historians in magic, Jamy Ian Swiss has also been an activist for scientific skepticism for nearly four decades. In this page-turning essay, Jamy explores the relationship between magic and science, sharing enthralling tales of challenging fake psychics and committing to a life of being an “honest liar”. This alluring journey through history explores the important, albeit ironic, role magicians play in protecting others from being deceived by frauds.

9. Get Outta My Way, I’m Going to Hell by John Lovick

This essay is unlike any other in magic. Instead of exploring multiple tricks or theories, John Lovick offers a deep, critical analysis on one remarkable piece called “Quote of the Day” by Penn & Teller. Putting this showstopping routine under the microscope, Lovick explores every detail, highlighting how even the smallest decisions play a role in the greater whole. It is bursting with lessons that any magician can use to improve their own work.

10. Magic by the Numbers by Joshua Jay

The final contribution to the Astonishing Essay series comes from Vanishing Inc. Cofounder Joshua Jay. It offers a deep exploration of a first-of-its-kind research study that Joshua commissioned to understand how lay audiences view magic. Nearly 10 years later, Joshua revisits the original results, adding previously-unpublished information and exploring how this information has evolved for modern magicians. It is an inspirational and thought-provoking read that will empower you to be a better magician.
