Nagel - The Art of Patrick Nagel

Forward by Elena G. Millie

Editor Jeffery Book

While this book doesn't have anything to do with magic, there are no tricks in it. There appears to be a lot of magicians that have shown interest in Patrick Nagle's style of art. Un fact, David Copperfield had Mr. Nagle paint several images for him to use on his fourth TV special and also an image that was use on the tail section of the airplane Copperfield vanished. That David now owns that airplane. You can also see more of Nagle's art work in use during the opening sequence of Copperfield's special at this link - https://youtu.be/otxcIow25QU. Check out another interesting piece of Nagel's artwork exclusive for Copperfield during the segment with "CJ the chimp", you'll find it about the 35 minute mark.
