MAGIC WITHOUT MIRRORS - The Making of a Magician - David Conway (Logios, 2011)

Out of Print, Paperback. 334 pages.

Fascinating and insightful magical autobiography of renowned magician and writer David Conway. ""There is nothing of the phoney or the exhibitionist about David Conway. He is not merely a magician, but a genuine mystic, an intensely private person who is absorbed in what Blake called "the inner worlds" and their mystery....David Conway was brought up in a remote country district of Wales....When he was four he was taken to see a local farmer, Mr. James, (who) remained his chief mentor, introducing him to the basic principles of magic...Someone should persuade him to write about his apprenticeship; from the hints he has dropped, I suspect it would be as fascinating as Carlos Castaneda's accounts of Don Juan, as well as being rather more truthful." Colin Wilson in his Introduction to David Conway's Magic: an occult primer, 1988.

Much sought after and out of print.

Condition: Good. Some edge-wear to covers and corners. Internally clean and unmarked.
