In D.I.Y. Magic, Portland author Anthony Alvarado ventures into the realms of everyday magic. He knows the associations, what this sounds like to the skeptic, knows the aversion. And, in this way, he's the best guide we could have for taking a different approach to daily life. From various forms of abstinence to personalized tarot, lucid dreaming to surrealism, fasting to simply drinking vast quantities of coffee, the book is a straight-forward introduction to rearranging how the world looks.
