Pressestimmen
Advance Praise for The Secret History of Magic“I was the first in line for this book, I'm a big fan of the authors. The Secret History of Magic is an original look at a beloved art. It reveals how magicians did it, why magicians did it, and why we will always be amazed.” -Neil Patrick Harris “Jim Steinmeyer and Peter Lamont take the reader on a rollicking journey from the dawn of civilization to the present. This magnificent history of magic goes beyond all others in marrying the evolution of that ancient art to the evolution of science, technology, philosophy, and myth. It shows how magic has mirrored all of these, yet stayed a step ahead in its capacity to inspire wonder.” -John McLaughlin, Former Deputy Director and Acting Director of the CIAPraise for Jim Steinmeyer and Peter Lamont"Dr. Lamont is the perfect guide for this trip into the world of smoke and mirrors … A riveting yarn, full of quirky stories and wisdom about our need for mystery"-Sunday Express"Steinmeyer's combination of enthusiasm and erudition is a joy." -Neil Gaiman"Steinmeyer writes about events a century ago as vividly as if he had been there." -Teller, Penn and Teller, The New York Times Book Review"Lamont’s dry, irrepressible sense of humour suffuses and subverts this wonderfully entertaining book."-The Times"Steinmeyer is the ideal host, introducing us to a fascinating stranger, and sliding into the background...Here is a storyteller with a glint in his eye. Pull up a chair, you won't be disappointed." -Mark Stafford, Times of London"Peter Lamont has conjured up a magical read." -The Observer "Peter Lamont’s shrewd and often very funny book distils the perplexities of an age … this is a serious and thought-provoking book about how we witness and interpret the world." -Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize winning author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies"There is no greater expert on the history of stage magicians than Jim Steinmeyer."-Neil Patrick Harris "Lamont disentangles the gargantuan knot of lies and sets the record straight with a joyful vengeance ... that's just the way I like my historians."-Teller

Somehow the authors cut their own tail: in the end they say magic has always been interested although magic secrets have been revealed so many times during the last hundred years. A lot of words with little contents which could have been shortened on to half the number of pages. As said before and in my eyes also: for the general public not really attractive. So sorry, because I know both authors can do much better. Hiding the Elephant by JS is a master piece.
I’m a big fan of Steinmeyer’s other books on magic, stage illusion, and the entertainers who practiced it so I pre-ordered this months in advance. I’m disappointed in the writing style, lack of new material, and a general attempt to discount religion and belief in chapters with a semi-philosophical style. I thought this was a book about the “Deceptive Art†but I think it misses the mark in lots of ways. There are an awful lot of assumptions and vague statements about the subject I was hoping to learn more about. I’ve had to put this one down repeatedly for weeks at a time as I haven’t found it an enjoyable read. It feels like the writers struggled with their own basic premise in creating a cohesive history. I’m at the halfway point now and I stopped to write this review. To be honest I may never finish the book. I’ll give future books another shot from the authors but I recommend you avoid this one.
I love magic and books about magic, so I picked this one up on the day it came out. I learned a few things, but ultimately it fell short of what I was expecting. First, its mostly text with very few pictures. Most books on the history of magic have a lot of pictures because it is a visual art. It lends itself perfectly for that type of work. This didn't have as many pictures so it won't be as attractive to a general audience, but it also isn't a 'scholarly' work.The authors attempt to cover a lot of ground in a short space. They succeed, but ultimately its a cursory look at many different areas and people, with not a lot of depth.There are two areas where the authors did some really good work, that I haven't seen in other books on the history of magic. First, they correct the erroneous view that people used to not know what magic was. They give many examples of different people being very aware of what a magic trick was even hundreds of years ago, dispelling the common narrative that the lay audience only recently realized cards tricks weren't real magic.In a similar way, the authors also introduced a couple of magicians that I had not heard much about before. Again, not much information, but a good launching off point if you want to move on from this book.Worth picking up if you love magic, but not for the general fan. There are better books for anyone looking for a general history of magic, but this is a good one to add to your collection if you already own a few of those.
I was surprised that the two authors, with extensive credentials, could produce such a blah book. It is indeed, a history, but after the first few interminable chapters, detailing everyone who said "take a card." it begins to get heavy on the eyes. The writing style is very poor, with constant repetitions throughout. In deference to the conjurers, I presume, no explanation of how the tricks were performed is given. The endless parade of names and bios of magicians from many years past, got old very quickly. I had much greater hopes for this book, but alas, it fell short.
This book helped me better understand the art of magic as practiced by two professional magicians I know. I love and appreciate their tricks, whether table-side or in front of an audience, and this book informed me of the importance of the magician-viewer interaction which enhances the experience.
I've just finished reading this book and enjoyed it immensely. Lamont and Steinmeyer make some remarkable revisions in the history of conjuring, based on fresh research; particularly on conjuring's early history. The authors correct tales initially based on inadequate research and repetition that have stood unquestioned for over a 150 years. The book is an eye-opener, an enjoyable read and an important correction of the record for conjuring history.
