1st edition 1932

Neo-Magic is the foundation for all of Sharpe’s writing. Sharpe offers great insight into what makes magic magical. Starting with an analysis of art and its relationship to magic, Sharpe explores what he feels is needed for magic to become a fine art. He provides his insight into topics as originality, patter, styles of presentation, program construction, stage fright and others.

From the preface to the second edition:

What I have been doing over a considerable number of years is to find out, if possible, whether the answer to the question “Is conjuring a Fine Art?” should be “Yes” or “No,” I long since came to the conclusion that neither of these is the answer, whatever the subject concerned. The question is wrong. It should be – “Can conjuring (or whatever you are discussing) be a Fine Art?” The answer in this case being: “Only if the craftsman is himself a Fine Artist.” There is no such thing as a Fine Art per se. Not only must each specimen be considered individually; but the onlooker is incapable of assessing any work of art except by his own reactions to it. What seems to him a vulgar production may have been the artist’s supreme effort at creating beauty according to his own lights; and what overcomes the same onlooker with sudden glory may have been a mere “pot-boiler” to its maker, whose best work was on a much more esoteric plane. It all depends on one’s spiritual development.
