Recenzii

If you've seen this guy, you're a fan. If you haven't, you will be.
A passionate and eloquent call to seek to renew one's purpose in life.
This book is real magic. It performs the most wonderful trick: when you read it, you feel both entertainedandhopeful.
An assured and thoughtful work about finding true 'awe and wonder.'
Magician Nate Staniforth's memoir is a frank and enjoyable exploration of his quest to recapture a sense of wonder.
A vivid, deeply compelling, startlingly personal account of life on the far side of the illusion.
With a beautiful bit of literary hocus-pocus, author Nate Staniforth lets readers watch the birth of a magician, right from the beginning. Like a good magic trick, you have to wait for the pay-off which, in this case, is so incredibly lovely, a bit humorous, and woven with a plea that readers won't be able to resist. In the end, Staniforth lets you in on the wonder and for that,Here is Real Magicwill wow you.
A real gem; a great read that belongs on the shelf of creative inspiration right next toArt & Fear. As irresistible as his quest for magic is, it's Staniforth's urgent feeling for the craft, and the meaning behind it, that should make all artists-writers, actors, musicians, everyone-take note. He's exactly the travel companion you've always wanted.
A fascinating, expertly wrought and absorbing pursuit of the essence of wonder. Staniforth proves he is not only a magician by trade, but a tender writer with real talent.
Nate is one of my favorite magicians in the world. This is a beautiful, original book from a beautiful and original mind.
The Bob Dylan of Magic.
If magic has a poet, it's Nate Staniforth.
On par with David Blaine.
If you've seen this guy, you're a fan. If you haven't, you will be.
