Full Bloom (2 Volume Set) - Gaetan Bloom (LIKE NEW)

A set that takes a unique look into the fertile mind of Gaetan Bloom. These books have been years in the making. Over 150 effects about Stage Magic, Close up, Illusions, Cabaret and Mentalism. Hundreds of beautiful James Hodges drawings. Historic photos of Gaetan and many great magicians. All of Gaetan´s lecture notes.

Rounding out the surfeit of magic are intros from Todd Karr, Kevin James and Gaetan Bloom; a few essays by Gaetan; chapters on Gaetan’s marketed items (the Intercessor, the Escorial Monte, the Escalator); and a two-chapter appreciation of Winston Freer.

Two hardback volumes, 736 pages in all, satin-finish acid-free paper, Smyth-sewn and hardbound with beautiful full-color dust jackets. Over 150 effects about Stage Magic, Close up, Illusions, Cabaret and Mentalism.

LIKE NEW, 2 HC w/dj books, 736 pages total
Also has Brodart covers on each volume

NOTE from Don: Along with Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment books, Full Bloom is my other set of books that I would hope to have on a deserted island, because there is enough creativity in these two volumes to keep me thinking for a very long time.
