Monday Check-In #5: Hic Sunt Lepores

Book #4 is here and will ship to supporters over the next couple of weeks. (There was an email sent on Saturday to collect your shipping fee/info. If you didn’t get it, make sure you’re checking the right email account (the one the newsletters have been sent to) and check your spam folder as well.)


In the book you will find:

  • No tricks.

  • No sleights.

  • No illustrations.

  • Nothing that is immediately usable in a professional setting.

  • Nothing to fool magicians

  • Nothing that is good for social media.

What you will find are dozens of techniques that I use to add depth and interest to any given effect. And an exploration of using those techniques in concert over time to create a different approach to the presentation of amateur magic which I call the “world-building” approach.


The inspiration for the book’s theme…

From Wikipedia:

Here be dragons" (hic sunt dracones in Latin) means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps where potential dangers were thought to exist.”
