Astonishing Essays - Steve Cohen (Volume 1)

Evergreen by Steve Cohen. In his first book written exclusively for magicians, the exceptional Steve Cohen explores how he came to create the persona of the Millionaire's Magician, and the motivations behind his monumentally successful show in New York, Chamber Magic. If you intend to put your own show together or are curious about this intimidating process, this book will show you how. The through-line is Steve's belief that magicians ought not be trendy or topical, but instead "evergreen."

Astonishing Essays is our most ambitious publishing project to date. It's a TEN-VOLUME collection of small, attractive books that will make you a better magician. The concept is simple: we pair the very finest intellects in magic with a topic they're passionate about. Each collection can be read in one sitting; it's meatier than an article but shorter than a full book. Think of it as "novella" size. Brew yourself a cup of coffee, get comfortable in your favorite chair, and open Astonishing Essays to be transported to a new world. These books will challenge the way you think about your magic and expand your horizons.
