Illusionology

Illusionology reveals the practical science of magic. Purportedly written in 1915 by one of America`s top scientists, William Schafer, the book is an expose of the tricks of the masters for new initiates of the Illusionists` Guild. As well as revealing inside info about many famous tricks – levitating a lady, making things disappear and mind-reading, among others – and providing instructions, it gives explanations of the science that makes the magic possible. In the course of the book, we learn that Schafer has been perfecting a machine that exploits `radiant matter` to effect the full dematerialization of a person. On the final spread, Schafer tries out the invention – and is never seen again!
