A WORD FROM HELDER GUIMARãES

Welcome to Secret Language, a place dedicated to advancing the art of Magic. What started with just one book in 2019 is now a more significant endeavor. My goal is to present several projects here that can help serious students of this art pursue excellence in their work. This is a challenging task, especially in a world where information is easily accessible and offered by many sources. So, why is this space different?

I’m a constant student of Magic and everything meant to deceive and mystify. I believe no work is ever finished, but we are always closer to it. After almost 40 years of involvement with Magic, I have tried adding quality content to the field, often challenging the community's standard norms. Magic should be held to a higher standard, and even if I have no issue with other approaches, I think sharing secrets should be more personal.

I am from a generation where secrets were still being circulated from one person to another in meetings and letters. There is beauty in this, but also a deep respect for the value of that secret that mass-market products lack. Time doesn’t run back, but this direct relationship and connection are fundamental when seriously studying any craft. I was lucky to have experienced that in my beginnings, shaping me and my approach. This space is infused with this philosophy, and although we can’t sit at the same table to discuss these ideas, technology allows us to build these relationships more easily. If this approach resonates with you, join me on this journey.

Thank you for your time,
