Dartagnan – The Secret Gate (official PDF)

Description

The oldest, most pernicious, and insoluble problem in the history of magic was stated best by Henning Nelms, in his 1969 Magic and Showmanship: A Handbook for Conjurers …

“No matter how astonishing a trick may be, it suffers from one major fault – it has no point.”

This ebook is the long-sought-after answer to that statement.
