Todd Landman’s The Magiculum II is a collection of essays for mentalists, bizarrists, and mystery entertainers who seek to bring deeper meaning to their performances. The essays cover a broad set of common themes, which include: (1) the blurred lines of distinction between science and magic; (2) the need to be safe in presenting challenging magical material to public audiences; (3) the importance of identity, authenticity, persona, and paradigms; (4) the need for consistency and (flexible) alignment between magicians as individuals and magicians as performers; (5) and the different roles for faith, ritual, luck, love and belief. The book will be of great value to advanced magical performers seeking to enhance their effects and the impact they have on their audiences.
