Hidden In Plain Sight Williamson

What does it mean to describe cinematic effects as "movie magic", to compare filmmakers to magicians, or to say that the cinema is all a "trick"? In this volume, Colin Williamson situates film within a long tradition of magical practices that combine art and science, involve deception and discovery, and evoke two forms of wonder - both awe at the illusion displayed and curiosity about how it was performed.
