The Art of Deception - Chuck Romano - SIGNED & NUMBERED (2nd edition)

In 1997 The Art of Deception - The Affinity between Conjuring and Art was published. The 423-page, hardbound book was a limited edition of 500 signed and numbered copies. It was well-received and quickly went out of print. 

The book contains hundreds of illustrations, with many of them in full color. It is a tribute to the men and women who have played a vital role in the world of magic. Early images of the conjuror, the magic of lithography, past and contemporary illustrators, conjuring's comic book connection, catalog illustrators, magic's influence on the fine arts, and much more are represented in this glorious tome.

This revised and updated 2nd edition also looks at other subjects, such as major artists of the past and present, illustrators of magic catalogs and magazines, and more.
