Just by reading the name of the e-book which I presume is the same as the title of this thread I could tell it's not a genuine copy and a rip off of the origanal so I would say buy the hard book copy you will get so much more out of it than you can a e-book.

I agree with lindz on this one
You can get the original book of rrtcm for £10, so why get it as an e-book?
It is so much easier to reference out of a hard copy. Plus you know you are getting the real deal.
Honestly £10 for rrtcm is an absolute bargain :wink:

I bought RRTCM as an Ebook off ebay.

Mine appeared to be the real deal.

Some guys probably just scanned every page in and made it in to a pdf. I think someone told me that someone scanned every page of the Tannens Complete course in magic vol. 1 to 7 (or are their 8? I can't remember :oops: )

This ultimatley equates to a pirate copy, due to the fact that the manufacturer is not making any money off the purchase.

So for all you know, you just bought an illegal document.
When you should have dished out the few extra bucks to support the real deal and gotten the real deal.

It doesen't matter how many pages it has it is whether someday has copied the book and selling for there own gain.

Some things to watch out for is

1. 75p is well to cheap
2. When the title is something along the lines of magic tricks reveal/ David Blaine/Derren Brown magic tricks.
3. It's on e-bay.

The only reason to buy legitimately is to give whoever created the effect the money they deserved for there hard work.

WHen I bought my ebook of it, I checked my local magic shop first, and he said he didn't stock it and then checked numerous book shops and they said it was no longer available in the UK. So I bought the e book.

What kind of magic shop doesn't stock RRTCM? And why would they tell you it's not available in the UK when websites like Amazon and Play stock it? They can't have checked very hard. Most odd.

I know. I was quite surprised when the magic shop didn't have it, as it is quite good.

& with Waterstone's being a big book shop I took their word for it.
