MAGICK (HB)

Since the Ice Age, humans have sought to bend reality with magic. Powerful wands, enchanted talismans, transformative spells and potent herbs have been used to conjure everything people desire: love, wealth, health, protection and knowledge of the future.

Understand the symbolism of a spirit-summoning magic circle; discover how to harness the protective power of amulets; scrutinize psychic tools and techniques; and explore the methods of performance magicians, including how they have been used by the CIA.
