Secret Art of Magic by Eric Evans and Nowlin Craver
Imagine a book which details strategies from Sun Tzu's The Art of War to help teach the intricacies of street magic.
Street Magic A to Z. Everything from a thorough discussion on stopping people, building a crowd, tricks used on the street, the pitch, all the way to collecting the hat. Its most profound lessons, however, deal with controlling yourself and your audience—the most critical point for all performers.
Secret Art of Magic is already being hailed the textbook for street magic. Nevertheless, it's actually two books within one. Some argue the important section of the book is The Secret Art of Dispersion. Others say it's Street Magic and the Art of War. Either way, both provide frameworks to understand, assimilate, and implement deception like never seen before.

Using an ancient Chinese manuscript of 36 strategies for deception in warfare, The Secret Art of Dispersion; teaches a new and expanded approach to misdirection — dispersion.
Based on the military concept of dispersing concentration, it not only encompasses the concept of directing/misdirecting attention, but unifies all the important ways magicians control their audience's awareness. Not just of what they see, but of what they think about (and conversely, and perhaps more importantly, what they don't think about).

While misdirection is usually thought of as a tool just for sleight of hand or manipulation, this book uses a plethora of examples to show the applications of dispersion with apparatus, illusions, stand-up magic, card magic, doves, mentalism, and children's entertaining as well.
