The book is bound in luxurious blue cloth with a vegan leather spine and stamped with gold foil. The blue cloth slipcase is also stamped with gold foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach copy has a bookplate inside the front cover personally signed by the maestro himself - Juan Tamariz. This is the first time one of Juan's books has ever been offered as an autographed edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e appeared in 1989, Juan Tamariz was already known as an important performer, creator and thinker. His performances in nightclubs and on stage and television had made him a celebrity in Spain and in many other Latin countries. By the time \u003cem\u003eThe Five Points in Magic\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Magic Way\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e were published in English, his reputation, already spreading through the underground streams of international magic, burst to the surface and established Tamariz as a master. His two previous books laid the foundation on which \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e, a generous sampling from his professional repertoire, was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e was Tamariz’s first volume of “Bewitched Music”. Years later, \u003cem\u003eMnemonica\u003c\/em\u003e, the second volume of the series, shook the magic scene. By that time, \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e had been out of print for years and used copies fetched high prices. At long last, \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e is back, newly edited, with errors and omissions corrected and information added. This is \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e with an enhanced score. The material, while published decades ago, is still vibrant. It has not aged. It is a selection of some of the finest magic with playing cards and penknives ever published, ready to be presented by today’s performers for the amazement of today’s audiences. This sonata is written to be played—a classic work renewed for this and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e is a reproduction booklet of \u003cem\u003eThe New Mini-Symbolic Method\u003c\/em\u003e; a system of symbols developed by Juan Tamariz to read, interpret, and write down tricks. It was originally published in conjunction with \u003cem\u003eSonata\u003c\/em\u003e in 1989. It has been revised for the new edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Juan Tamariz:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA celebrity of television and stage in Spain and South America, Juan Tamariz is known internationally among magicians as a true master of his art, and one who generously shares his time and knowledge, both in print and in person, with the magic community.
