Performing Dark Arts
The conjuror's act of demonstrating the apparently impossible, the uncanny, the marvellous, or the grotesque challenges the spectator's sense of reality. It brings him or her up against their own assumptions about how the world works. This book offers an exploration of the paradox of the conjuror, the actor who pretends to be a magician.
