Book Foundations: The Art of Magic and Staging

Magic Dream and Eberhard Riese editions are proud to present the French translation of the book "Foundations" by Eberhard Riese. Eberhard Riese, the Stuttgart wizard as his students like to call him, has finally come to the table. For a long time he refused to reveal the secrets that make everything he touches turn to gold... "How can we do without such an essential work? Happiness, ideas galore, but above all the fruit of collaboration between magicians. An example to follow... Long live the Foundation!" Eric ANTONY Countless are the magic numbers that he has revisited and revamped in his own way to raise them, thanks to their originality, to a world level. His prize list, or rather the prize list of his foals speaks for itself: dozens and dozens of prizes (even hundreds!) crowned his interventions. All the issues passed through the hands of Eberhard Riese have known planetary consecrations. We will only mention a few known by French magicians: Roxane, Topas, Franklin, Helge Thun, Floriant Zimmer, Nils Bennett, Peter York, Chapeau, Bellacchini VIII, Jorgos and Jorgos, Julius Frack, Clemens Valentino, Tom Voss , Junge, Junge!, Simon Piero, etc. All these famous artists were part of the stable of E. Riese. He was able to breathe freshness into their number, a new grace and a touch of madness that allowed them to conquer stages around the world for a long time. Why this book? "This book is aimed at all magicians and magicians who already have experience and practice of magic and want to work out a new act. The book should show them a possible path for an original and unusual magic act. A path, not the only one. The path that we took quite successfully a few years ago in Stuttgart. I would like to share the experiences that I have gained with many others through the implementation of magic numbers, the pass it on to others so that they can take the same path, or another! That is the purpose of this book, which is supposed to help you do that." Eberhard Riese In summary : Character Creation - Type and Genre Match of Tricks.
