Shamelessly, that is, if you’re playing by the traditional rules of magic conduct, where, as Stone puts it, “exposure is seen as a form of vandalism,” something that “deadens the mystery and tarnishes the brand, shrinking all the grandeur in magic to the scale of an intellectual puzzle.”īut does it really? Stone certainly doesn’t think so. Nor are they likely to have gotten a kick out of Stone’s new book, Fooling Houdini (out today), where the watch theft maneuver is but one of the effects that the amateur magician so shamelessly reveals. It’s probably a safe bet that fellow magicians were none too pleased. Last week, Alex Stone taught Wall Street Journal readers the world round how to steal a watch.
