Review A 46 page manuscript from a very talented Scot. In this book some of the effects are easier than others but they are all well thought out and "workable" Some of them rely on a "pre show setup" but others can be done "off the cuff". Also in this book Euan reveals the workings of his incredible "Rotary palm" (for an example of what can be done with it check this out!... http://www.magicden.co.uk/instantinversion-EBingham.mpg ) I'm not going to list the effects but a one of my favourites is "pick a pocket or 2" in which a previously selected card is picked from a specs pocket. This effect is well within the grasp of most amateur cardies!
Another good thing about the book is the "communication breakdown" at the end of each effect which is basically a list of the moves required for the effect without all the faffing about with patter so it makes learning the effect easier as you dont have to muck about looking for certain parts of the text that contain moves as your reading through it (hopefulyl that makes sense?!?!)
Overall id give it a very well deserved 9 out of 10 for price and quality of effects, in fact the only thing that stopped it getting a 10 is the fact that he's a west coasty!...hehe just kidding
