Is it still necessary to present Chelman Christian? The worldwide reference in Bizarre Magick. He is first class Belgian cratomane (according to Dai Vernon himself), a close-up man staggering, a renowned mentalist and pro showman in cheating. He created the Surnateum or Supernatural Science Museum, which contains, among others, the most beautiful parts of this inveterate collector, each attached to supernatural magic.
Description
Each new book of Christian Chelman is an event, and it did not fail to rule! Urban Legends in 1999 after then Sortilegionis Compendium in 2003, the Belgian magician continues his exploration of the world of “Bizarre Magic” artistic discipline which he became the world reference.
This time, he added more emphasis on dreams, his routines related to myths and tales more or less known by the general public. Once again, there is the p^resentation of magic tricks resting on a base narrative composed with true accessories, magical effects punctuate the story. This approach gives the artist greater freedom of action.
The book has six main parts:
SHADOWS, when it comes to death, witches, psychic, resurrection …
FABLES, where it crosses the Gypsies, Alice Lewis Carroll’s, the mysteries of New Orleans …
CHIMERAE, where we encounter a sea monster hunter, a Chinese alchemist, a German spy carrying the virus werewolf …
YGGDRASIL, where the reader discovers six new routines runes.
DHAMPIRES, where you will meet Homo Magicus, a vampire hunter in hand, ultra-sensitive subjects, perhaps yourself …
Coquecigrues, where you will re-scammed and ripped off by cheaters of all kinds.
In total, no fewer than 44 routines! As usual, Christian Chelman mobilizes all disciplines of close-up in his book, cards, coins, tarot cards, dice, ESP, nutshells, runes and other objects. There is something for everyone and all routines are explained.
As always with this paw graphic Benoit Drager, which gives this book, in addition to interest pure illusionist, a unique visual style. Each page is a feast for the eyes.
