Description
In this book (which isn’t exactly a book), you’ll learn how to gradually develop your creativity in magic and begin creating your own tricks from scratch.
Julio shares unfinished ideas for you to complete yourself, and you’ll even play “Wizard Wars,” inspired by the famous American show where magicians were challenged to create a new trick using three random objects.
Let the journey begin! Welcome to your new WORKBOOK...
A Tool for Creation
The first word of this book was written nearly four years ago when Julio decided to create an interactive guide for magicians—a tool to help them invent their own magic tricks.
This isn’t just a collection of theoretical musings on creativity in magic; it’s also 50 ideas for you to work on, encouraging you to turn these seeds of inspiration into fully realized magic effects. The Workbook doesn’t provide closed methods or rigid routines, but it’s packed with content designed to help you create at least 50 new ideas in magic.
Bee creative!
The Workbook is more than words on paper—it’s a hands-on experience. From Scratch and Win challenges to icons that spark inspiration, and even “Fill the Gaps” exercises where incomplete routines are left for you to finish in your own unique way.
Over the past three years, renowned magicians have explored The Workbook, all agreeing it’s one of the best tools for enhancing creativity in magic.
Think of The Workbook as an activity book, reminiscent of the fun, interactive workbooks we used as kids, but designed for magicians.
