The Magic Way by Juan Tamariz – Expanded Edition (Hermetic Press)

Discover one of the most influential books ever written on the art and theory of magic. In The Magic Way, legendary magician Juan Tamariz reveals a powerful approach that transforms ordinary tricks into unforgettable magical experiences.

First published in 1987, The Magic Way quickly became a landmark work in magic theory. Long out of print and highly sought after, this updated and expanded edition from Hermetic Press brings Tamariz’s groundbreaking thinking to a new generation of magicians. Over a period of five years, Tamariz personally corrected, revised, and expanded the text, resulting in a newly translated edition that presents his ideas more clearly and powerfully than ever before.

Master the Theory That Makes Magic Impossible to Solve

At the heart of this remarkable book lies Tamariz’s famous Theory of False Solutions and The Magic Way. Instead of simply hiding the method of a trick, Tamariz teaches how to guide spectators through logical but incorrect explanations—until the true method becomes completely unreachable. The result is stronger reactions, deeper mystery, and an audience that simply relaxes and experiences the impossible.

This book is far more than a theoretical study. Tamariz demonstrates his concepts through real routines from his professional repertoire, carefully explaining and analyzing each effect so you can see exactly how the theory works in practice.

Professional Routines Explained in Detail

Inside this beautifully produced hardcover, you will learn some of Juan Tamariz’s most prized routines, including:

• The Tamariz Ambitious Card Routine

• The Magazine Test with Spirit Slates

• His stunning Oil and Water routine

• 19 additional Oil and Water sequences

• Tamariz’s version of Al Koran’s Miracle Divination, where a spectator freely thinks of a card and the magician names it without touching the deck

Each routine has been refined through hundreds—often thousands—of real performances, producing astonishing reactions from both lay audiences and professional magicians.

A Must-Read Book for Serious Magicians

More than just a collection of tricks, The Magic Way gives you a powerful framework for improving every effect you perform. By studying Tamariz’s thinking, you will gain not only exceptional routines but also a deeper understanding of how a master magician constructs mystery.

For performers who want to maximize astonishment, entertainment, and impossibility, this book has earned its reputation as essential reading for serious magicians.
