In een muziekschool in New York wordt een studente vermoord. De dader verschanst zich in een lokaal. Als er een schreeuw klinkt, gevolgd door een schot, trapt de politie de deur in: het lokaal is leeg en de moordenaar lijkt in rook te zijn opgegaan. Lincoln Rhyme en Amelia Sachs worden te hulp geroepen bij het grootscheepse onderzoek dat volgt. Het oplossen van de zaak zou voor de ambitieuze Sachs een promotie kunnen betekenen. De gehandicapte Rhyme moet zich op zijn beschermelinge verlaten om deze meesterlijke illusionist die ze duivelskunstenaar hebben gedoopt uit zijn tent te lokken. De illusionist tart hen met meer gruwelijke moorden die steeds diabolischer worden. Terwijl het dodental groeit, moeten Rhyme en Sachs achter de rook en de spiegels de waarheid zien te achterhalen. Anders zou een afgrijselijke wraakactie de grootste verdwijntruc van allemaal kunnen worden...

Drame sentimental. À la fin du XIXe siècle, un certain Eisenheim se produit dans un théâtre de Vienne, où il sidère les foules par ses dons extraordinaires d'illusionniste. À la fois sceptique et intrigué par ce prodige, Léopold, le prince héritier d'Autriche, assiste à un de ses spectacles, au cours duquel il incite sa fiancée, la duchesse Sophie von Teschen, à participer à un numéro de l'artiste. La jeune aristocrate reconnaît alors en ce dernier son amour d'adolescence. Peu après, elle renoue avec lui, ce qui soulève l'ire de Léopold. De plus en plus menaçant, l'ambitieux prince charge l'inspecteur-chef Uhl d'enquêter sur le magicien et de trouver un prétexte pour l'arrêter. Entre-temps, on découvre le corps inanimé de Sophie dans une rivière. [(c) Médiafilm] [SDM].

How magicians exploit the natural functioning of our brains to astonish and amaze us How do magicians make us see the impossible? The Illusionist Brain takes you on an unforgettable journey through the inner workings of the human mind, revealing how magicians achieve their spectacular and seemingly impossible effects by interfering with your cognitive processes. Along the way, this lively and informative book provides a guided tour of modern neuroscience, using magic as a lens for understanding the unconscious and automatic functioning of our brains. We construct reality from the information stored in our memories and received through our senses, and our brains are remarkably adept at tricking us into believing that our experience is continuous. In fact, our minds create our perception of reality by elaborating meanings and continuities from incomplete information, and while this strategy carries clear benefits for survival, it comes with blind spots that magicians know how to exploit. Jordi Camí and Luis Martínez explore the many different ways illusionists manipulate our attention—making us look but not see—and take advantage of our individual predispositions and fragile memories. The Illusionist Brain draws on the latest findings in neuroscience to explain how magic deceives us, surprises us, and amazes us, and demonstrates how illusionists skillfully “hack” our brains to alter how we perceive things and influence what we imagine.

De illusionist Drew Chapman ''Een must voor fans van Homeland en 24!'' – Joseph Finder De wereldeconomie staat op instorten en er is maar één man die dat kan voorkomen. Garrett Reilly ziet als enige wat anderen niet zien: cijfers, patronen en een land aan de rand van de afgrond. Dankzij zijn talent heeft hij ternauwernood weten te voorkomen dat een grootschalig internationaal conflict uitbrak. Dat heeft er echter ook voor gezorgd dat hij een gezochte man is geworden: Zowel door terroristische groeperingen als door de Amerikaanse regering. Garrett ontdekt een serie gebeurtenissen die zouden kunnen leiden tot een verschrikkelijke ramp, dankzij een kwaadaardige code die ver weggestopt zit in het Amerikaanse bankensysteem met de kracht om sociale en economische structuren die het land overeind houden in een klap weg te vagen. Banken zouden hun deuren moeten sluiten, er zouden lange rijen ontstaan bij pompstations, winkelschappen zouden leeg raken en totale chaos zou binnen een paar dagen uitbreken. Garrett en zijn ondergrondse team komen opnieuw samen om vijandige aanvallen van verschillende kanten af te slaan: een gehavend Rusland dat erop gebrand is zijn instortende rijk op de been te houden, een cybergenie dat het op Garrett gemunt heeft, en een femme fatale die alles op alles zet om een nieuwe wereldorde te stichten. Door internationale cyberdreigingen moet Garrett met alle risico’s van dien vertrouwen op de mensen om hem heen, zelfs als hij steeds meer redenen heeft om aan hun betrouwbaarheid te twijfelen. Er is maar een klein zetje nodig om een kaartenhuis te doen instorten.

What does it mean to describe cinematic effects as “movie magic,” to compare filmmakers to magicians, or to say that the cinema is all a “trick”? The heyday of stage illusionism was over a century ago, so why do such performances still serve as a key reference point for understanding filmmaking, especially now that so much of the cinema rests on the use of computers? To answer these questions, Colin Williamson situates film within a long tradition of magical practices that combine art and science, involve deception and discovery, and evoke two forms of wonder—both awe at the illusion displayed and curiosity about how it was performed. He thus considers how, even as they mystify audiences, cinematic illusions also inspire them to learn more about the technologies and techniques behind moving images. Tracing the overlaps between the worlds of magic and filmmaking, Hidden in Plain Sight examines how professional illusionists and their tricks have been represented onscreen, while also considering stage magicians who have stepped behind the camera, from Georges Méliès to Ricky Jay. Williamson offers an insightful, wide-ranging investigation of how the cinema has functioned as a “device of wonder” for more than a century, while also exploring how several key filmmakers, from Orson Welles to Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, employ the rhetoric of magic. Examining pre-cinematic visual culture, animation, nonfiction film, and the digital trickery of today’s CGI spectacles, Hidden in Plain Sight provides an eye-opening look at the powerful ways that magic has shaped our modes of perception and our experiences of the cinema.

Alltranslation is a compromise-the effort to be literal and the e. ffort to be idiomatic BenjaminJowett (1817-93) This book is designed to provide intermediate and advanced students of English with practice in the translation ofDutch texts into English. It contains fifty prose passages, most of them taken from recent Dutch novels or journals, all of them tried out on several generations of our own students in the 'pre-kandidaatsfase' of their studies at the English Department of the University of Nijmegen. In these respects, it is not spectacularly different from many other books ofits kind. We have, however, tried to offer the student rather more support in his translation work than is usually clone: each text is provided with a suggested translation of the first few lines and with notes containing information on grammar and idiom, sometimes preceded by supplementary material from British or American sources. The second part of the book comprises a short contrastive grammar speciallywritten to meet theneeds oftheuser. In this way wehope to offer a self-contained translation course which reinforces the interdependence of grammar, vocabulary, textual interpretation and style. Most ofthe texts in this book are reproduced in substantially the sameform and wording as in the original sources. In some cases editing was necessary in order, for example, to reduce long articles to more manageable proportions. In no cases, however, were we moved to doctor the originals in order to disambiguate them or to make them easier to translate.
