Why don't you send him a postcard?\" I sent him one. Receiving my postcard was a big surprise for him. A few days later, I received the longest and most beautiful letter that I have ever received from anyone else. This letter made me decide to meet Ascanio some day. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAround 1958, I was in a lecture tour throughout Europe and I had been booked to lecture in Barcelona and Madrid. Then, I met Arturo de Ascanio. After he saw my lecture, he told me: \"Everything is justified! I thought you worked fast. That's why I couldn't do your magic.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo we became friends. We spent a little time together. Ascanio showed me some of his magic. Believe me, I know magic and by this time, I should know what is good. I want to say Ascanio is one of the best close-up magicians in Europe: Not only for the tricks created by him but also for his presentation, grace, and personality. I like his own misdirection, his very unusual style to present magic, and the way he expresses himself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAscanio is not very well-known in this country because we speak a different language from his. He is well-known, one of the best, all over Europe and Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAscanio is a fine lawyer and very intelligent. Besides, he is very good writer and if he writes books on magic he must have a lot of knowledge. The book he wrote on magic of the knives has been a big success in all Spain and Latin America. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magic Shop San Diego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40425010626653,"sku":"BB15 AWOKV1JDLT","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1120\/5962\/files\/LDK_8006.jpg?v=1710757800","url":"https:\/\/magicshopsandiego.com\/products\/bb15-2","provider":"Magic Shop San Diego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
