Did you know of the existence of a magic library?

La magic It has always been a recurring theme, especially for fantasy and fiction books, and in the cinematographic subject, if it is a much more touched and current field. But, did you know of the existence of a magic library? I do not…. At least until a few days ago.

The magic library we are talking about is in Manhattan And contains pretty rare books. Another curious fact that draws a lot of attention is that it can only be accessed by appointment ... If you want to know more about what it is about and what books we can find in it, keep reading a little further down.

Whether you believe in magic or not ...

You must know about the existence of this library. We know that Iker Jiménez and his television collaborators would enjoy like children with new shoes in the corridors of this library, but who has not been curious or has occasionally been struck by something related to magic? Just by seeing the secrecy and the occult with which the subject is treated already gives enough to think ...

Officially, this library calls itself Conjuration Arts Research Library, and inside we can find the most important books on the subject of magic in general. It is located in the neighborhood of Manhattan, specifically in a penthouse and to access it you need to make an appointment in advance and tell what is the reason for your interest in these types of books. His founder es Bill kalush, which ensures that inside many of these books unique knowledge can be found or known by very few people in the world.

Some of the Topics that touches are the mentalism, dice and hand games, la letters reading, cryptography, etc. One of the most requested books by readers who ask for an appointment and are accepted among its doors is one written in the XV century and is titled «By viribus quantitates ». It is one of the oldest magic books ever written.

They are currently working on updating their catalog, as well as translating many of their books that are in different languages. The most striking thing is that they are also digitizing your content in a big database called Ask Alexander (Named after a well-known mentalist).

I said, if you are in Manhattan and want to enjoy this particular library, make sure you make an appointment. You can see super old books on their shelves.

    That is very good. But in Madrid there is also a library of illusionism: in the Juan March Foundation.

    De viribus quantitates is a book on arithmetic, algebra and geometry, written by Luca Pacioli, at the end of the XNUMXth century. His relationship is more with sleight of hand and magic, yes, but that of stage, illusionism and a fascination for mathematical tricks and riddles.

    Very good article, but it would be better to illustrate it with a photo from said library. The one that appears in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin
