I figured that I had enough books of tricks... the last thing I needed was another one!
This seemed to be more than just tricks, so I bought it.
In short, it's great! I REALLY like this book!
It's made me rethink what I do, and how I do it, and what I say when I do it! And my magic is so much better and stronger for it!
There's a big part of me that wants to say all that I got from this book, but that would be a bit like exposure!
What I will say is that this is the first book that I think I've ever finished and imediately started re-reading, and secondly, the reactions I get now from my magic have certainly improved!
And to answer again a question from earlier in this thread, yes, primarily this is aimed at mentalists, but really the advice in it can equally be taken by anyone!
As far as the cost goes... yes, it's a little pricey for a book, but I have a stack of tricks I've paid £25 plus for and never used, this I can apply to just about all my magic, and use each and every time I do any sort of performing! In fact, a fair bit of it applies to every day life too...
I'm off to read a chapter or two again now...
