Description
Sonata Standard Edition -Juan Tamariz: When Sonata appeared in 1989, Juan Tamariz was already known as an accomplished performer, inventor and thinker. His performances in nightclubs and on stage and TV had made him famous in Spain and in many other Latin countries. When The Five Points in Magic, The Magic Way and Sonata were published in English, his reputation, which had already spread through the international magic world, burst to the surface and established Tamariz as a master. His two previous books laid the foundation for Sonata, which was a large selection from his professional repertoire.
Sonata was Tamariz’s first volume of Bewitched Music. Years later, Mnemonica, the second volume in the series, shook up the magic scene. By then, Sonata had been out of print for years and used copies were selling for high prices. Finally, Sonata is back, newly edited, with errors and omissions corrected and new information added. This is Sonata with an improved score. Although the material was published decades ago, it is still alive. It has not aged. It’s a selection of some of the finest playing card and pocket knife magic ever published. Now ready to be presented by today’s magicians to the amazement of today’s audiences. This sonata is written to be played – a classic work renewed for this and future generations.
Also included with the Sonata is a reproduction booklet of The New Mini-Symbolic Method; a system of symbols developed by Juan Tamariz for reading, interpreting and writing down tricks. It was originally published in conjunction with Sonata in 1989. It has been revised for the new edition.
