The Art of DeceptionChuck RomanoIn 1997 The Art of Deception - The Affinity between Conjuring and Art was published. The 407-page, hardbound book was a limited edition of 500 signed and numbered copies. It was well-received and quickly went out of print. The book has never been reprinted, and probably never will be, because the cost would be too great. The Art of Deception originally sold for $110. Now you can have a copy of this fascinating book for a fraction of the original price. An errata page and addendum are also included in this ebook. The book contains hundreds of illustrations, with many of them in full color.... | ★★★★★ $29.90 more than onetype to choose from PDF | |
