"The Magic Rainbows" Rainbows have always held a sense of wonder and magic for humans. These vibrant arcs of colors in the sky, formed when sunlight is refracted and reflected by raindrops, have fascinated cultures around the world for centuries. In folklore and mythology, rainbows have often been associated with enchanted beings and mystical realms. They are commonly portrayed as bridges between the earthly and spiritual realms, connecting humans to the divine. In ancient Greek mythology, for example, rainbows were believed to be a path traveled by the messenger goddess Iris, who moved between the gods and mortals. In Norse mythology, the rainbow bridge Bifröst connected Midgard (the realm of humans) to Asgard (the realm of the gods).
The most anticipated book of the last 2 years, Juan Tamariz's magnum opus on magic-performance theory. FINALLY BACK IN PRINT.
He explains why and how comedy and drama combine with magic, in both bad and good ways, how to make the most effective combinations for creating astonishing and memorable magic-and much more. In The Magic Rainbow, Tamariz takes his readers and their audiences farther up The Magic Way until they are delivered to the ultimate destination, where logical analysis is abandoned to emotions of amazement, fascination and wonder; where the feeling of magic becomes, for a while, an impossibility firmly rooted in reality.
In Norse mythology, the rainbow bridge Bifröst connected Midgard (the realm of humans) to Asgard (the realm of the gods). Rainbows are also symbols of hope and positivity. After a storm, the appearance of a rainbow is often seen as a sign that better times are coming.
