"I assumed that I was going to be in way over my head and my abilities. Instead, I found the book taught me so much more than difficult sleights. As the title implies, it creates a Joy of Magic and helped me look forward to practicing. Highly recommended." -Rolando Santos, Reviews-Linking Ring Magazine*

This book is an open door into the work and character of Miguel Gómez, one of Spain's most renowned magic stars. In its pages you will find a balanced collection of routines, sleights, and essays of the highest magical caliber.
