Elevate Your Craft and Inspire Innovation
More than just a guide, this book is an invitation to elevate your craft. Oswald Rae's deepest desire is for readers to not only perform the described effects with confidence but also to use them as springboards for their own creative exploration. He openly encourages you to "alter and maybe improve the existing effect," fostering a spirit of innovation that is rare in magical literature. Adding to its exceptional quality are the superb illustrations by his good friend, William H. Hale, which illuminate complex movements and subtleties with remarkable clarity. "The More You Watch—" stands as a worthy successor to Rae's previous esteemed works, solidifying his legacy as a true visionary in the world of magic. It's an indispensable resource for any "wielder of the wand" committed to pushing the boundaries of their art.
Original Specs
AT long last I have been enabled to complete my long promised book, " The More You Watch—."
I cannot write to order, and have therefore preferred to wait until I could complete the book with ideas and
effects that are really worth while.
I have endeavoured to cater for all tastes, and trust
that my readers will find much herein that will be of service and value to them.
Not merely pipe dreams, but practical ideas, that in many cases may be elaborated to suit the requirements of the individual performer.
Although the contents of this book may be presented with every confidence as described, as has always been my desire, I hope that much of the matter will suggest ideas and problems that will lead my readers to alter and maybe improve the existing effect.
I owe a special debt to my good friend William H. Hale, for the excellent illustrations reproduced herein, and trust that my fellow wielders of the wand will find " The More You Watch—" a worthy successor to my previous efforts in the world of magical literature.
