Magic Tricks

I have a few good books. Actually, I have most of the recommended books. Ortiz, Tarbell, McCabe, Bobo, Wilson's, Fitzkee, etc. Just scratching the surface of my small collection. They are all important. But they are basically variations of technique books. Technique of tricks or stage craft and such. All vital info of course, but I feel Tales of Enchantment is, for me, one of the most important books in my collection. It looks at who you are, persona, the stories and ambiance. This book illustrates a world beyond 'here is a trick and here is another trick. If my house were burning down, I'd grab my wife and kids, wallet and important papers... and this book.
