Hermetic Press was founded in 1990, when Stephen Minch, after writing books on magic for seventeen years, decided to try publishing them as well. Throughout its history, the Hermetic Press has concentrated on producing books on Magic and Mentalism that are among the best in the craft — from contents to cover — at fair and affordable prices. We take pride in offering the very best in magic from the most innovative minds in the craft, through books that teach and entertain with clear writing, careful explanation and professional illustration, all produced on acid-free papers in quality bindings. Hermetic Press books consistently receive rave reviews from critics and readers alike, and more than a few have gone on to become standard texts and modern classics. We intend to continue in this tradition, as the books offered at this site will confirm. Thanks for stopping in and browsing around. We look forward to serving you.
