NEW COPIES OF THIS LONG SOUGHT-AFTER MASTERWORK!

In Phasmology, you will enter the world of Professor BC, the world of half-remembered fears, waking dreams, and the fairy enchantment you thought you gave up when you grew up. He will help you remember that it's all real.

Performer, inventor, lecturer, and philosopher in the dark world of mystery entertainment, Professor BC reveals in Phasmology, for the first time ever, ten of his personal illusions. But more, the book is filled with practical performance advice and insights about magic, performance, and the art of Bizarre Magic.

 

WHO IS PROFESSOR BC?

Known as Professor BC, Brian Jay Corrigan is an internationally recognized, award-winning magician who, along with Banachek and Christian Chelman, is an honorary lifetime member of the British Society of Mystery Entertainers and an inventor of magic whose work has been seen on every continent of the world except Antarctica.

Brian grew up in a show business family and has lengthy professional theater credits, including having performed with Katharine Hepburn and Terri Garr, originating the part of Pizarro in the long-running play South Sea (renamed Balboa), and touring with the professional company of Oliver! in the role of Charley Bates. He was even under consideration for the role of Luke Skywalker. 

In addition to theatrical achievements, Brian Corrigan is Senior Professor of Renaissance Literature at the University of North Georgia. He has been recognized as a Georgia Author of the Year and as Georgia Board of Regents Professor of the Year.  As a mystery performer, Brian works in an exciting new theatrical art form called Living Biography, which weaves together performance, literature, and life history to create a unique form of entertainment, with authors and their works springing to life within the swirling mists of Brian’s magic.
