Foreword

Compilation of my classes after years of teaching at the Brazilian Federal University of Magic. Hopefully, new and old students will be able to look at this material and still be enriched by the simple yet intricate details of the Fundamentals of Magic.

Readers, please be advised this is an academic book, so subjects treated here might be complicated. Academic researchers and students, please realize this book has an informal approach, so several important concepts will be mixed with mannerisms characteristic of a classroom environment.
