The Magic Rainbow by Juan Tamariz and Stephen Minch

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.
