Harvard Law School educated, former law school dean, Glen Weissenberger, author of the largest-selling publications on the law of evidence, has now brought his trademark amusing and intelligent stylings to popular nonfiction in Reel Magicians: The Art and Science of Magic in Hollywood Movies!MAGIC has been Glen's lifelong fascination! In interviews, Glen recalls recieving a Gilbert’s Mysto Magic Show Set as a Christmas present at the age of eight. This gift led to his fondly-remembered treks into Manhattan with his father to Lou Tannen’s magic shop. His true dilemma? On what to spend the $10 budget he had for new tricks!When Glen performs magic today, it is in his home studio devoted exclusively to magic where its walls are appointed with framed original posters for many of the movies reviewed in Reel Magicians.  Over the years, he has acquired an impressive collection of magic paraphernalia, and he dazzles his audiences with such illusions as cutting a woman in half and levitating a member of the audience in thin air!Please connect with and follow Glen's magical exploits on LinkedIn, where he is the co-administrator of its largest group dedicated to professional and amateur magicians, "Magicians, Mentalists, Hypnotists & Variety Entertainers," on Twitter @reelmagicians, and on Facebook at “Glen Weissenberger – The Weissenberger Artistic Alliance"!***Reel Magicians, the first in The Weissenberger Popular Culture Series, comes on the heels of Glen's having first penned two wildly popular novels, Made to Measure Man: A Weissenberger Romantic Suspense Novel, Volume I, and Companions by Contract: A Weissenberger Romantic Suspense Novel, Volume II. Both are terrifically-fun, plot-twisting, cozy-legal-thrillers, with just the right amount of passionate romance. Enjoy them, and please follow @made2measureman and @companionsbykt on Twitter, on their respective Facebook pages, and on his Author page on Goodreads!***Finally, it is Glen’s dedication to artists who express our collective and various stories that have inspired his own writing—from the comedic delight to the heart-breaking pathos of magicians in film, to the wildly original characters of his fiction, to the intricacies of human nature in his legal contributions beyond evidence—much in psychiatry. This dedication underpins his commitment to The Weissenberger Artistic Alliance, “A Creative Cultural Consortium for Charitable and Developing Artist Support.” http://www.weissenbergerartisticalliance.com/Proceeds from the sales of Reel Magicians, Made to Measure Man, and Companions by Contract are not only directed to charity, but also provide educational stipends to performing, literary, and fine artists endeavoring to using their art to further global social justice. Please sign up at the the Alliance, http://www.weissenbergerartisticalliance.com/ for notices on new releases, media events, and opportunities for guest artist submissions for stipend consideration. And also, please follow his Facebook page “Glen Weissenberger – The Weissenberger Artistic Alliance,” and its Twitter accounts, @weissenbergerjd and @TWArtAlliance, where we bring you the most exciting creative endeavors being undertaken around the globe, noting the unparalleled ability of all arts to entertain us, to educate us, to make us reflect, and to make us laugh. ***When not writing, performing magic, or raising funds for educational opportunities for other artists, magicians, authors, et al., Glen can be found in the kitchen, using every pot he owns to create delicious fare; out in his extensive garden, enjoying a well-aged scotch, thumbing through a vintage car magazine; traveling domestically and internationally; and spending quiet time watching movies with his beloved wife and family (and his best friend, his parrot Louie)—preferably movies about magicians!http://www.weissenbergerartisticalliance.com/
