A
FACSIMILE E-BOOK
EDITION OF THE THIRD
MAGIC BOOK THAT WAS WRITTEN
IN ENGLISH
IN 1634.
|
This
is the Third Book written in English that explains how Magic Tricks are
done. Book Number two was The
Art of Iuggling (Juggling)
written by S.A. Rid in 1612 which plagerised
The
Discoverie of Witchcraft
of 1584 (available as an e-book from us, check out our e-books
page).
The Art of Iuggling
(Juggling) will be published as an e-book by us.
I felt that Hocus Pocus, jr.
was a better choice for our second e-book because it is a better
instruction manual, it is illustrated (Rid isn't), and since we had
already published The Discoverie of
Witchcraft,
the material in that book had been covered.
Our E-Books are ideal for
magicians that
are doing Renaissance Faires, re-enactments for the 18th Century, the
19th Century, the 20th Century and modern magicians, or any magician
that wants to add something new (even if it is old) with a lot of
impact
on their audience.
WHAT IS HOCUS POCUS, jr.?
Written by an
anonymous author in 1634,
Hocus Pocus, jr. was his pseudonym. The actual title was The Anatomie
of Legerdemain.
Since Hocus Pocus,
jr appeared over the title and
dwarfed it, the book became known as Hocus
Pocus, jr.
Hocus
Pocus, jr.
teaches the magic that was being
done when it was written in 1534 and includes subjects such as
sleight-of-hand, special equipment, or the use of confederates, techniques still used
by
magicians today.
PERFECT
FOR HISTORICAL
MAGICIANS,
INVALUABLE
FOR ANY CONJUROR
A GREAT RESEARCH TOOL
A superb
research tool for historical magicians that are doing
Renaissance Faires, re-enactments for the 18th Century, and the
19th Century.
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
This
book
is invaluable for any magician as a number
of the
tricks are still performed today, or if you want to find
something that is so old it will appear new, this e-book will do the
trick. <grin>
WHY
DO YOU PUBLISH THESE E-BOOKS?
I do a lot of
Renaissance Faires, re-enactments, and
historical
sites.
I am concerned about authenticity in my act, so I have
researched books that have the resources to help me achieve that
goal.
I decided that if I found them useful, others would also,
and that was why I started publishing the E-Books.
WARNING!
There might be some tricks in Hocus Pocus,
jr. that
should not be done under any circumstances, they might be too dangerous
to
people
or animals. The book could be used as a way to learn tricks, as the
instructions explain them and there are illustrations,
however, you
might find it easier to use more modern books, videos, or DVDs to learn
the tricks.
FACSIMILE
EDITION
The
book is the same as when it was printed and
contains period words, phrases, spellings, and printing, but generally
the meaning is clear.
For
example, here is the title addition in modern English:
The
Art of Juggling set forth in his proper colours, fully, plainly, and
exactly, so that an ignrant person may thereby learne the full
perfection of the same, after a little practice.
Unto each Tricke is added the figure (picture), where it is needfull
(needed) for
instruction.

Hocus
Pocus, jr. will tell you what type of magic was
being done
in Renaissance England (and presumably elsewhere) at the time of
Charles I, how it was done, the patter for the routine, and the
pictures show us what types of props a magician in the first
half of the 17th Century was using.
DEVELOP
A PERIOD ACT
If
you want to have an authentic
routine using period props, this book will show you the way- in fact,
The Great Scot based
the period leather cups and balls sets he produces upon the pictures in
Hocus
Pocus, jr.
If
you want a set of the cups and balls for
yourself,
you can find them by going to the Magic Shop Page.
HOCUS POCUS, jr. MAGIC
TRICKS FIT ANY TIME PERIOD
Whether or not you
do Renaissance Magic,
the tricks
fit a number
of time periods. They still fool people, which is why they keep
getting published and can be used in your act without any
problems.
