Reading this book made me feel like I felt when I first read The Books of Wonder. Vanni was a generous friend and a constant inspiration. This book is a fitting tribute to a gifted creator and performer.Michael Weber
Almost everything in this book is a magician fooler. I love this and can give it my highest recommendation.John Lovick
Full of actual MASTERPIECES. These aren't fantasy effects or theoretical. They're the real thing.Bill Kalush
A goldmine of miraculous creation. Roberto Giobbi
After just the first 2 effects, I was blown away. Full of routines that are BEGGING to be put into a show. I highly recommend it. Ryan Schlutz
I cannot wait to work on Card in Glass. Sleights and approaches I've never seen before.. doing things you'd normally need gaffs for... without gimmicks.Chad Long<

Customer reviews for The Aretalogy of Vanni Bossi

Mickael
Beautiful book. Some simple and some harder tricks. Bought it just because it looks so amazing on my shelf.

High quality printing!
Oliver
This book can’t miss in your collection if you want to know a few secrets to even fool magicians! Some effects are difficult to accomplish but interesting in their methods, so definetely a worthy book to have. Many details to add to your existing repertoire also. The quality of the book is simply excellent and the edged pages make it beautiful.
Gerhard
Wow I love this book. It's awesome. The production value is awesome. The contents is great and my favourite is the different takes on the Okito turnover moves. Never seen some of the ideas I have seen in this book. The production value is just stunning with the leather and deckled edges. Love having this in the hands. Get this you won't regret it.

I bought this book from Vanishing when it first came out, and I must say I am part of the problem...That problem being: This book did not get nearly the amount of esteem or discussion that it deserves since it has been released! While some of the effects described are certainly more advanced or daunting, the material is top notch. Some twists that Vanni included on routines or props that are relatively commonplace have gotten my mind running! Half-Buck Torture Cell and La Belle Captive are two of my favorites just for the thinking alone.
