{"product_id":"woody-allen-a-magician-in-manhattan-cinema-and-the-art-of-wonder","title":"WOODY ALLEN A Magician in Manhattan: Cinema and the Art of Wonder","description":"New York, mid-1940s.\nOn his birthday, a young Allan Stewart Konigsberg unwraps a small box of magic tricks - a gift that would have changed his life. Enchanted by the Art of Wonder, he dreams of becaming a magician. But fate has other plans: his wit, timing, and surreal humor soon lead him to trade playing cards, coins and trick dice for a camera -and the world comes to know him as Woody Allen.\nMarc Casellato, renowed illusionist, magic historian and dream maker, offers an illuminating and original portrait of the New York director. Through anecdotes, plots, and deep reflections, he reveals the subtle and pervasive influence of magic in Allen’s life and art -a journey that intertwines cinema, illusion, and the beauty of believing in wonder.\n\nThe title was selected for the Independent Authors section of the 37th Turin International Book Fair.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0G2GPDML2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0G2GPDML2.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:CASELLATO, MARC\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43280524410941,"sku":"BVV.B0G2GPDML2.VG","price":17.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/woody-allen-a-magician-in-manhattan-cinema-and-the-art-of-wonder","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
