There are plenty of books that explain how magic works.There are fewer that concern themselves with what magic is.WZRD belongs to the latter.If we had to summarize it in one word, WZRD is a book about mystery - not as a problem to be solved, but as something to be handled with care.If we could use more words, then we'd say that it's a book about secrets, silence, satire, and sorcery. About birds and bards and books and breath. There are tricks in these pages, for sure - but confusing method with meaning is the oldest form of misdirection.As magicians and mentalists, we learn techniques.We learn structure.We learn how to control outcomes.And at some point, that stops being enough.This book is not an exploration of the mechanics of deception, but of what surrounds them: the pause, the weight of the unspoken, the tension between showing and withholding, the ethics of secrecy, the opening of closed hands. It does not offer systems or formulas. It is not interested in tricks that kill, but
