From the Recipient of a 2014 Special Fellowship from the Academy of Magical Arts The Sense of Wonder is the second installment in Robert E. Neale’s eagerly anticipated Trilogy of Magic. In these pages, Bob Neale sets out to expand our understanding of the human capacity to wonder beyond common notions of it. As he uncovers the widely different styles and subjects of wonder, he also shows how magicians can apply these insights to create more and better wonders for their audiences. The Sense of Wonder also includes thirty-one of Bob Neale’s latest, highly innovative magic routines, all but one of which are previously unpublished. Each of these routines comes with a fully developed script and is performed with simple props that are easily purchased or constructed, such as playing cards, paper and cardboard, bills and coins—even a toy ball!
