The book is divided into three distinct parts. Part I is devoted to techniques and choreographies, the way to understand the mechanics behind the illusion and how to incorporate those same ideas into the creation of new techniques or in restructuring classic concepts. Part II is devoted to Helder’s close-up repertoire and his ability to take ideas and transform them into routines, and to take known plots and create new methods to make them even more impossible. Part III is all theory and is focused on Magic, Construction, Life, Composition, and Performance.
In Secret Language – Vol. 1, the aim was to create a document that would register Helder’s creations and repertoire as well as his thinking process for achieving those same pieces. It is intended to be a guide more than a copy/paste manual, and the serious student will find a lot of insights into properly structuring routines and achieving a deeper level of detail in compositions. New concepts from other areas like art, theater, and philosophy will play a part in the way we can approach magic and change the perception of this art form by our audience and peers.
For the first time, Helder will explain some unpublished techniques he created that will allow you to deceive your audience as well as magicians. He breaks down the structure of several different techniques and applies ideas and concepts to them in order to achieve perfection. The Secret Turnover and the Revolve Replacement are core examples of this.
One of the biggest qualities of Helder’s magic is the way he fuses esthetic quality with secret actions. This powerful combination allows the creation of new illusions that are born out of simple choreographies. As examples of these, you will learn Divide and Turn and the Pivot Double Turnover among other examples, turning esthetic into a tool of deception.
Always considering the maximum level of detail, Helder works on understanding the reasons why certain specific moments require techniques and choreographies that have multiple layers of deception incorporated. The Choreographed Switch and The Convincing Force are a result of this careful and thoughtful analysis that transcends the mere mechanics of actions.
