HAUNTIQUES by
CHRISTIAN CHELMAN.
After 10 years in the making,
Christian Chelman's new book, "Hauntiques" is now available!
"Hauntiques" begins from where "Capricornian Tales"
ended, describing the bizarre magic of Christian Chelman in form of
complete theatrical pieces. Six chapters, each and every one dedicated to
a different type of magick-show, 142 photos, most of which in full color,
192 pages with a hard cover.
The publisher, Marco Pusterla
says "HAUNTIQUES has been a
labour of love: it has taken me over two years to lay the book out, to
type it and to correct it: this makes 10 years since the date the book was
supposed to be first published. HAUNTIQUES is the book by Christian
Chelman I always wanted to read and, after waiting many years for an
American publisher to make it available, I decided to publish it myself.
I'm proud with the result and I'm most grateful to Christian to have put
his trust in me to give the English-speaking magic world his second book.
This book has been a joint effort: Christian wrote it and generously
shared his thoughts and routines, Carl Gibson, to whom my admiration also
goes, translated it and double checked it in order to convey in English
the exact meaning of Christian's words, and Benoît Drager provided not
just one, but two outstanding covers.
We believe you will be pleased with the book, released in a limited
edition, and will treasure it."

TESTIMONIALS
...This hardbound book by itself
is a work of art that is a collector's dream. Add to that elegance the
absolutely one-of-a-kind creative thinking of Christian, who painstakingly
researches and builds each story and each prop
to breathtakingly high standards, and you have magical content that could
keep you inspired and upgrading your magical work for at least a couple of
decades.

Congratulations on a beautifully
produced book. My first impression is that this is going to be a fabulous
read.
A. Harris
[Hauntiques] is one of the most
beautiful and professionally produced books
around. And it does have some really great effects in it. I'm totally
speechless: it's an amazingly beautiful book and I'm quite loving it; many
of the effects can be tweaked and changed to suit me. Shouldn't that be
what we do with books like this?
Mark Raven
Wow. This is an absolutely
gorgeous book. I am in awe. [...] I don't know
what to say other than every effect is a work of art. I am just aghast at
the creativity in creating the effects around these artifacts. Christian's
sharing of this material is a true gift. [T]his book is watching a master
at
work. Beg, borrow whatever you must, but get this quickly. This is a
classic.

If you are interested in bizarre
magic, Hauntiques is a book you must have.
It is that important. Order it immediately before supplies run out.
Bill Fienning
Only read through the first
chapter so far... WHAT A BOOK!!! I had to stop often and think for a good
while about what I had just read. Even after the first effect, the
inspiration had already begun to send me into a spin. I
also love the way the book is layed out and illustrated. Easily the most
inspiration I have found since Borodin's books.

Hauntiques is out! Marco Pusterla
has done a magnificent job. A big book
with lots of color photographs throughout (this accounts for the price). I
think every magician who's interested in bizarre magick will want a copy!
Richard Kaufman
What a book! I truly enjoyed this
thought-provoking book. It is filled with
exceptional stories that you can use or adapt, complete with methods
within
your ability to learn. The key to a truly "magickal"
presentation lies in
the props, and the ones that Chelman shares with us are an inspiration in
and of themselves.Buy this book!
