CAMBELLA - From the life of a magician

By the time you've worked through this spellbook, you'll no longer be able to erase the name Cambella from your memory. His routine with the Floating Table, his "Knots" variations, and the Indestructible Rope have every chance of becoming part of your repertoire. Cambella is a blend of biography and explanation of a trick.

The modest career of Werner Scharneweber , who worked as a semi-professional under the name "Cambella," is exemplary for many amateur magicians and regionally renowned professionals. Werner Scharneweber was not only a successful magician in the greater Hamburg area, he also astutely analyzed the tricks of his professional colleagues and recorded his observations. His observations on Chefalo, Wilhelm Gubisch, Felix Woy , and others were not to be lost. Therefore, his manuscript was transformed into a beautiful book and carefully printed in a limited edition.

152 pages with 49 black-and-white illustrations, some documentary, some drawn by Jens Nielsen . Edited by Oliver Erens . Format 21 x 11.5 cm. Thread-stitched, full-cloth binding with two-color labels on the cover and spine.
