Ian Keable’s Magic Shows
Available from : Ian’s website http://www.iankeable.co.uk Cost £20+£3 P&P Let me start by saying that I don’t know Ian particularly well. I’ve met the man twice and exchanged the odd bit of email communication with him but I don’t know him all that well. So it wasn’t because of my knowledge of Ian that I decided to buy this book. I have to say that even before I got it, I knew it was going to be the sort of book I love. I’m not much of a reader outside of Christian literature (i’m a church goer). Even magic books I don’t always find easy to read and thus I love the sort of book you can dip in and out of. Hence my excitement over this title. Ian has listed no less than 57 shows that he has seen live and has essentially given us the “set-list” from them all. It’s not a review of each show as he hasn’t given his opinions on everything but rather a paragraph or so describing each of the tricks. A preview page can be downloaded for free from Ian’s website. It’s worth doing so you can see the format that the book is laid in. I’ve really enjoyed looking through it. Looking at shows of personal favourite performers, discovering new names and at last I know what happened in the first ten minutes of a show I arrived late for (but I’m not saying who or what show!!) I wholeheartedly recommend this book. It’s limited to 500 copies and so I believe that £20 is a VERY good price for it. Due to the fact that it’s a magic book that doesn’t teach tricks I imagine that it won’t “date” or “drop out of magical fashion” anytime soon. Therefore I truly believe that this book will one day be considered important magical history. Brilliantly written, fascinating to anyone interested in magic and at a very good price. How could you not buy it? |

I would like to second Elliott's post. We have been carrying this at H & R Magic Books for awhile now. This is a great book, with many top name performers included. It is interesting to see what others have deemed worthy to be put into a show. Like Elliott said, it is limited to 500 copies. You will not be disappointed in this book.
