The Magic of Pavel
by Pavel

This is the big book of Pavel's creative magic. A collection of some forty tricks using silks, ropes, cards, bottles and other objects, plus the author's philosophy regarding the creation of original magic. (A more detailed discussion of the innovative process used by Pavel can be found in his Magical Creation.)

Pavel lectured throughout the world, performed at the Magic Castle, at the Ed Sullivan show and countless other venues. Peter Warlock nicely characterizes Pavel's magic when he writes: "The beauty of Pavel's magic lies in its simplicity of plot and the simplicity of means to attain the necessary end. In this he has a strong affinity with another of magic's great inventors, Marconick."

Edited and foreword by Peter Warlock. Illustrated by Josef Manas.

1st edition 1969, original 139 pages, PDF 117 pages.
