Wolfgang Riebe

30 BOOKS. 40 YEARS. ONE WORD: ASTONISH. From one of the most prolific and battle-tested creators in modern magic comes a book that does not mess around. ASTONISHERS is not theory. It's not pipe dreams. And it's definitely not magic that only works in the comfort of your living room. This is real-world, audience-tested, reputation-building magic - created, refined, and performed by Wolfgang Riebe, a full-time professional entertainer with over four decades of global performance experience.
Every routine in this book has earned its place in front of live, paying audiences. No filler. No fluff. No armchair philosophy. If you want punchy, powerful magic that gets reactions, laughs, gasps, and applause - this is the book working magicians have been waiting for. Many routines include video links, so you can see exactly how the magic is performed in the real world. All routines include relevant one-liner jokes too.
If you perform stage or parlour magic and want material that hits hard and plays big, you need ASTONISHERS.
