A culmination of his life's work, Mosaic is an absolutely incredible collection of magic and theory from the fabulous Greek magician Perseus Arkomanis.

Known originally for his amazing downloads released with Ellusionist, this 527-page paperback book (yes, you read that correctly!) contains over 30 items that Perseus has decided to share with the magic community.

FOREWORD WRITTEN BY ERIC MEAD!

Here are several examples...

COUPLES: A sandwich effect where two partners (represented by a King and Queen of Hearts) locate that "Magical Something" that they are looking for (communication, balance, safety, etc.) in the form of a selection.

WEAK: A spectator is stripped of his physical strength and is unable to tear a single playing card until the magician restores it back to him.

RING & KEY: A borrowed key passes right through a borrowed ring.

MR. MIDAS: A 24-karat-gold 1 cent coin vanishes from within a piece of folded paper and reappears in an impossible location.

(This review is for MOSAIC by Perseus Arkomanis - Book)
I don't personally know Perseus, but as read his book I feel like we're friends. I've never met him, in fact I recently sent him a message to express my appreciation and gratitude for publishing such a great book and he's a really cool guy. After reading the book and talking to him, I felt compelled to leave a review. I really hope this book gains the recognition it deserves.

Perseus cares a lot about the art of Magic and you can tell how passionate he is when you read this book. Not only is it a beautifully produced book, with excellent hand drawn illustrations, but the writing is absolutely wonderful; clear and informative.

The focal point of MOSAIC can be summed up in one phrase: "The power of scripting". The book opens with a couple of essays about performance and scripting. These, for me contained purely golden advice. If you're not already convinced of the power of scripting, read his words and they will change the way you think. The essays are followed by around 30 excellent pieces of magic. MOSAIC cantains magic mostly with cards, some coins and even a bit of mentalism. There's so much wonderful psychology amd theory peppered throughout and he even includes his full script at the end of each piece. This book teaches you not only the how, but the all-important why behind every action and word. These are the types of Magic books I enjoy reading. They really give you a view into the artist's mind. Not only that, but they're so much fun to read.

I won't go through each of the routines in detail, but if you're familiar with Perseus Arkomanis, then you'll know what to expect. If you're not familiar with him, then he has a few downloads of which you can watch the trailer and full, un-cut performances of some of the pieces in this book.

$70 may seem expensive, but when you factor in that you're getting over 500 pages of this man's life's work...30 routines...you really can't go wrong.

I know this book is going to make me a better magician. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to improve their magic.

Picked up a copy at Magifest and can’t put it down. Each piece is a beautiful work of art and his essays on creating meaning in your magic makes this a good value even if there were no effects included. If you are a serious student of magic, get this book!

I've never meet Perseus in person but we have spoken over social media and by phone. I've been following his work for a while now and have found that it works for all working magicians. I've picked up his book Mosaic to get a better understand of his work, theory, techniques and ideas behind all his effects or pieces as Perseus like to call them and also because I use similar tricks in my work.

If your someone looking to learn on where to begin, this might be a good start. He gives you some tips and tricks on scripting, the dos and do nots as well.

Some of my favorites are Face of Man, Couples, Prometheus Friends and many many more. I don't want to give out to many of his pieces.

If you have not seen Perseus in action check out his Live Penguin Lecture.

I do highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of Mosaic.
