How to Become a Great Escapologist – Handbook for Young Magician

Andrea De Luca

I love creating objects, from the idea to the design to the real crafting process. This is a book inspired by vintage handbooks and manuals, going through my passion for the golden era of magicians and illusionists, like the great Houdini.

I’ve decided to create this book as a vintage and used tool for young magicians who want to start their careers.

The graphic design process was inspired by the research of vintage book covers: simple graphics with a strong lettering part. Weathering the paper and the lock was a very important part of the work, to provide real and heavy signs of time.

As an illustrator, I love to give the illustration a central stage, so at the center of everything we can see an open birdcage, to encourage escape!

Will you be able to open it to start your lessons?
