Featuring original photography and rare memorabilia alongside a Foreword by Guillermo Del Toro and text by Cohen himself, "Confronting Magic" celebrates twenty years of Chamber Magic and the variety of guests that the lively, intimate show has attracted and stunned. Here we see stills and props from Cohen's most praise-worthy tricks, including his signature Think-a-Drink and the jaw-dropping Bullet Catch. At other times, the camera is turned to the audience, inviting readers to step into the magician's shoes and see what he sees - the laughter and the outbursts; the silence and the hand-wringing; the collapsing onto your neighbour's shoulder and the wide-eyed disbelief. These jubilant reactions illustrate just why audiences return to Cohen's parlor again and again - music can make you dance; comedy can make you laugh; but only magic can make you wonder.

The art of fine jewelry is part of Silvia Furmanovich's DNA. A Brazil native born into a family of goldsmiths, she is a visionary jeweler who pushes the boundaries of adornment through unconventional combinations of precious stones, natural materials, and traditional craftsmanship. With an artist's eye and an explorer's heart, Furmanovich travels the world in search of inspiration and translates her findings into pieces that evoke their source and convey a unique sense of style all at once. To experience her work is to be transported through time and space from the Amazon rainforest to the ateliers of Renaissance Italy and the extravagant courts of the Mughal Empire. Deeply inspired by the natural world and the history of ornamentation, Furmanovich's singular approach to fine jewelry design has dazzled connoisseurs for years, and her one of a kind creations have been honored with awards and sought by discerning collectors around the world.
