 Nutty book June 29, 2006

The premise of this book is that magicians are bad people who are trying to -- gasp -- fool you, and you should be prepared to stop them from doing this by knowing their secrets. The author fails to understand that performance magic is intended to entertain us by mystifying us. Although magic is more than its secrets, without its secrets it can't perform its basic function.
 awsome! Fantastic! very good source! May 28, 1999

If you start with this book to learn magic, only in that way will you be disapointed. But if you have at least some years experience in magic will you appreciate this very interesting book and valuable thoughts.
As bad as it gets!!! January 3, 1999

Random thoughts. Lightly organized. Pseudo intelectualism. Pedantic. All that effort wasted to explain card tricks and look smart at parties.
Slightly Better than Herbert Becker's, and that's not much ! July 12, 1998

This book was created by gathering a number of random thoughts available from the Internet with very little effort made to verify sources. Go to the WEB yourself and search on "Magic": the results will be as insightful. Waste of money !!! Books by Mark Wison, Bill Tarr or from the Dover collection are highly recommended over the collection of... STUPID and INCOHERENT thoughts.
