In my opinon Nick Einhorn is possibly the most entertaining and polished close up performer in England.

Theres not many I would willingly watch perform everynight of the week , but Nick I might make an exception.

Ssssssssssshhhhhh, stop talking about it!

I have this as well, think it was the first magic book I got and it was a bargain :) Great book and would fall into that book for young and old to learn easy stuff in an easy way type bracket.

Now stop talking about it or everyone will have one!

For me this book is the modern equivelent to Mark Wilson's "Complete Course in Magic". It may not contain quite as much but the large colour photographs don't half make it easier to learn everything in the book.

One reason why I think it's so good is because of the little bit of historical background it goes into, and the fact that it covers so many different genres of magic.

If someone was thinking of getting into magic (any age) then THIS is the first book I would recommend. Without a doubt.

(and then I would think twice about it as would I really want them to know all these wonderful secrets?)

Nick must be Making an absolute fortune - I hope.

I confess I bought 2 extra copies at lunchtime as there are 2 youngsters I know who are becoming curious about Magic (and not just because of Harry Potter, either!) and I'm sure the books will be unavailable soon. I'll hold a small candlelit ceremony when I hand them over - and I'll probably ask them for the cash at the same time!

I'd love to see him perform even once!! (Maybe I could persuade the local Magic society to get him to lecture)

I brought this book today and have been practicing stuff from it already. It's amazing and full of little ideas for tricks and great ideas on home-made 'aardvarks'.
I think if we all want to see Nick perform, maybe we should all enjure the terrible pain of going to that terrible terrible White Hart Lane, to see spurs play. Or we could just hold a magic conference there and Nick would have to go, Right???

... and if he is magician at Tottenham, he'd have to move pretty fast to show each and every spectator a close-up trick. That's like 30,000 people divided by 90 minutes... Aaargh my poor brain... :?

Nice one Jing! Sadly I have to advise that Nick is off on a training course (don't ask, that's what you get when you e-mail him!) so you can't book him this week. As a long suffering supporter of Birmingham City (there's just me and Jasper Carrot apparently) I can appreciate what it's like to be a Spurs supporter so I'll say nothing more. Not a word. Zilch. Nada. Nowt. (But I'll probably be crying quite a lot).

Oh and if Wolves haven't got a Resident Magician I'd be happy to be it. Every club should have one... Except West Brom... (They haven't got any fans, you see)

Yeah, well my local club, Reading - they need more than a flippin' magician to put things right!

And that's largely thanks to Wolves last season, I might add. If not for them, we might be in the Premiership now...
