The Best Books on Magic theory

[Wyattsb]

Does anyone here collect magic books? I would like to have a few gems and am not necessarily looking for books that will teach techniques on tricks, but theory of magic. I know of a couple, but what are the best of the best? Looking for the kind of book thats really interesting to read.

Juan tamariz "La via mágica" (I don't know the exact translation), also "Five points in magic" by the same author. Ascanio's theory book is a must have, Darwin Ortiz' Good magic is wonderful too.

If you are looking for the best, my opinion is anything from Eugene Burger. He speaks intelligently about the art, not just the tricks.

Strong magic from Darwin Ortiz
