52 secrets from one of Scandinavia's most celebrated magicians
It's not often that a magic book of this calibre is published in Scandinavia. Swedish magic superstar Joe Labero has teamed up with Per Eklund, former president of the Swedish Magic Circle, to create a beautifully produced and inspiring book that takes readers into the world of magic – both on stage and behind the scenes.
Joe Laberos hemligheter (Joe Labero's Secrets) is structured around 52 secrets – one for every card in a deck. Drawing on his remarkable career, Labero shares practical magic, valuable advice and personal insights into what it takes to create memorable experiences for an audience.
The book includes 15 magic tricks, 5 party tricks and 3 special challenges. You'll discover card magic, mentalism and surprising effects using ordinary everyday objects. There's even a complete stage illusion in which you learn how to make a person appear! Everything is explained in an accessible way, allowing beginners to perform the effects with a little practice.
But this is much more than a collection of magic tricks. Labero also shares his experience as a professional entertainer. How do you develop your own stage character? How do you get bookings? And how do you earn applause from an audience? These are just some of the fascinating subjects explored throughout the book.
You'll also discover the history of magic and, of course, the story of Joe Labero's extraordinary career, filled with personal memories and beautifully illustrated with numerous photographs.
The book is primarily intended for beginners and curious readers of all ages – from 10 to 100, as Per Eklund puts it. However, with its attractive presentation and wealth of interesting material, it also deserves a place in the libraries of more experienced magicians.
Joe Laberos hemligheter is written in Swedish, which is also relatively easy to understand for Danish and Norwegian readers.
A beautifully produced and genuinely inspiring magic book that we're delighted to offer!
