ANTHONY ALVARADO – ‘D.I.Y. MAGIC’ . . . A STRANGE & WHIMSICAL GUIDE to CREATIVITY<\/p>\n

“SUPERSTITION is rooted in a much deeper and more sensitive layer of the psyche than skepticism.”
\n~JOHANN WOLFGANG von GOETHE<\/p>\n

“This is a book of magic.
\nThis is a book of mind hacks.
\nThis is a cookbook for creativity”<\/p>\n

with illustrations by 30 of today’s best contemporary artists,including: AIDAN KOCH, KEVIN HOOYMAN<\/strong>, RON REGE JR<\/strong>, EDIE FAKE & LUKE RAMSEY.<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s NEEDLES & PENS had a book launch for ‘D.I.Y. MAGIC’ last Fri. May 1st . . where they wrote:
\n“D.I.Y. MAGIC<\/strong> is not so much a how-to magic book in the traditional pulling rabbits out of a hat sense, but more a guide to exploring and pushing the boundaries of ones internal\/external perception of reality. The book teaches techniques<\/strong> on lucid dreaming, building tarot decks<\/strong>, going on vision quests, creating memory palaces, and getting lost in a familiar city. ANTHONY ALVARADO provides readers with a collection of techniques for accessing deeper levels of creative though – for hacking into their subconscious. From SALVADOR DALI’s spoon technique and ornithomancy \/ divination by crows<\/strong>, to bibliomancy and using (legal) stimulants, the exercises in this book will help anyone chasing the muse<\/strong> – from artists and musicians, to writers and more – as they tug at the strings of everyday reality and tap into the magic <\/strong> of their own minds ….” <\/p>\n
