"David Regal understands more than magic - he understands the moment." - David Copperfield
"Interpreting Magic is OUSTANDING, and I look forward to returning to it again and again." - Joshua Jay
Ten years after Approaching Magic made waves, here comes Interpreting Magic by David Regal, ready to take the stage.
Over 60 routines for close-up, parlor & stage (yes, that’s a lot!).
More than 500 pages of pure magic goodness.
Over 1,000 photographs (because who doesn’t love a good pic?).
30+ conversations with the wizards behind the curtain of the magic craft.
Introduction by the ever-charismatic Michael Carbonaro.
"David Regal is one of my heroes. He's my go-to guy for creative real world solutions in magic." - Mark Kalin
"This book offers a wealth of wonderful ideas that will ignite your passion of magic and put you to work." - Asi Wind
"Here's the bottom line. If this book only had the magic routines, it would be worth the price. If this book only had the essays, it would be worth the price. If this book only had the interviews, it would be worth the price. To get all three, packed into a beautifully produced, 565-page book is a gift. In fact, it's the gift that keeps on giving, because I know you will return to it often to find magic you previously overlooked and to remind yourself of the wealth of useful information contained within." - Michael Close
"Interpreting Magic is a classic David Regal book in the best sense of the word." - Pete McCabe
"Interpreting Magic is smart, creative, and insightful on every level." - John Gustaferro
"Get this book." - Lee Asher
"There is no one else on earth better suited for thinking about and creating works of magic." - Michael Carbonaro
