Repertoire 2 by Asi Wind

The reviewer delves into what elevates a magic instructional book to an artistic level, drawing parallels to supporting Renaissance patrons and fostering innovation within the magic community. "Repertoire 2" builds upon the foundation of Wind's acclaimed "Repertoire 1," maintaining a similar aesthetic with a striking black leather-bound cover and watercolor illustrations.
