The Magic Rainbow is the culmination of over forty years of reflection, study, and analysis by Juan Tamariz, widely regarded as one of the greatest minds in the art of magic. In 1988, Tamariz released The Magic Way, an instant classic that unveiled his ingenious system for making a magician’s secret methods completely undetectable. In The Magic Rainbow, he continues that journey, guiding both magicians and their audiences beyond logic and reason, to a place where wonder, astonishment, and genuine emotion reign, where the experience of magic feels impossible, yet undeniably real.
In this monumental work, Tamariz reveals groundbreaking techniques that allow magicians to subtly erase or alter memories that could expose a method, while strengthening those that reinforce the illusion’s impossibility—both in the moment and long after the performance. He offers original strategies for handling mistakes onstage, explores the intricate relationship between comedy, drama, and magic, and shows how to combine them to create unforgettable performances.
The Magic Rainbow stands as Juan Tamariz’s definitive masterpiece on the theory and performance of magic, a collection of essays, insights, and revelations distilled from four decades of thought by one of the art’s most beloved and influential figures. Above all, it is Tamariz’s heartfelt ode to magic and magicians alike a lyrical guide to elevating your performances and leading your audiences to that rare and beautiful place where emotion and impossibility meet: the rainbow of magic.
594 pages. Hardcover. Translated into English by Rafael Benatar.
"The brilliance of Juan Tamariz, the greatest and most influential card magician alive, is the reason I can't wait to read this book, cover to cover." - David Blaine
"I've waited more than twenty years to read this book, and the wait was worth it. If you've spent years looking for magic but have only been finding tricks, this book may contain the secrets you've been searching for." - Michael Weber
"This is the most difficult book on magic you are ever going to read, and it might upset most of your beliefs about magic, and maybe even change your life. It is only for those who believe that magic is an art and a science, and who are willing to use their head and open their hearts. But if you do so, you will be rewarded with the love and the insight from someone, who is possibly the most important and influential magician that has ever lived. Never before has a book on the theory and philosophy of magic contained so much practical guidance and artistic vision as Juan Tamariz's The Magic Rainbow." - Roberto Giobbi
"The Magic Rainbow is an awe inspiring look through the eyes of a true master, the depth of thought and understanding is that of a genius. Juan's passion for magic leaps off every page. We are lucky to both have this book and that Juan chose magic as his passion." - Joseph Barry
Guessed how this was done prior to purchase but still worth it. The cards are good quality, its super easy and will certainly be using it during the quite period after the meal at weddings when there is not a lot to photograph (I'm a wedding photographer who does a few tricks if there is not a magician there). Would have been nice if it came in a plastic wallet rather than an envelope with the name of the trick on it but I have some knocking around and you may want to get one if you purchase this. Overall usable, will hopefully get good reactions and easy to do. I'm off for a pint now to try it out on a few folks.
Another simple but effective little trick from Tenyo. Very clever and dead simple to do. Good price, fun and baffling what more could you want? I love most of the Tenyo tricks and this is no exception. I wish they would also do more premium versions that were metal rather than plastic but I suppose that is part of the joy of them.
I tried this at a booking for a family halloween party in the local pub and went down a storm.
Really funny when the adults could not make the sound of the animals
