There are three possible reasons why a magic book could become a “must-have”: Firstly, it may be the collected lifework of an important magical figure. Alternatively, it may be filled with original, hard-hitting, practical routines, techniques and ideas. Finally, it may be so beautifully produced that it demands a space on your bookshelf. “La Campanella” emphatically ticks all of these boxes and looks set to become one of the most important volumes in years._x000D_

While Shimpei may not be a household name yet in the English-speaking world, for the past two decades has been one of the most important figures in close-up magic in his native Japan. He is also a celebrated artist in Spain and South America, appearing at countless conventions and festivals in recent years._x000D_

With sixteen original routines, in addition to numerous sleights, flourishes and ideas straight from Shimpei’s professional repertoire, “La Campanella” is a book you will come back to again and again in search of strong, creative magic._x000D_

Finally, the care, attention and artistry that Shimpei puts into his magical creations is reflected in the quality of this volume. Filled with its musical motifs, stunning photography and elegant design, may just be the most beautiful magic book that has ever been produced._x000D_
