As promised, for the purpose of trying to get discussions going again...
We've talked about the classics before, but what's the best recent book that you can recommend? I'll start with two, both from Vanishing Inc:
Calculated Thoughts by Doug Dyment - a compilation of the best of his booklets, updated and with a bit more (currently out of stock, though)
https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/menta ... -thoughts/The Definitive Mental Mysteries of Hector Chadwick - an updated and expanded version of a book which was highly sought after when it originally appeared in a limited edition.
