Landfall: 206 The Magic Shop by Justin Paton

This spring's Landfall features conjuror's tricks, uncanny scenes and practical magic from some of New Zealand's best artists and writers. Poets James Norcliffe, Shannon Welch and Janet Charman focus on some very different kinds of disappearing act. Bill Manhire provides 'performance tips' for aspiring illusionists. And Alison Glenny opens the fascinating history of 'the Surrealist cookbook'. Among this issue's essayists, Gregory O'Brien meditates on Bill Culbert's brand of practical magic, Anthony Byrt delves into New Zealand Gothic, and Alex Calder wonders about cannibals. In the art portfolios Seraphine Pick paints three-legged-men and tattooed ladies, while photographer Ben Cauchi presents some 'scenes from the quiet room'. This 2003 Univ of Otago Pr Paperback is in very good condition.
