Grips, Lines and Looks is the definitive work from FISM award winner Marc Oberon, finally revealing his complete system for choreographing and structuring performances. Watch them be elevated from simple tricks to powerful moments of real magic.

If you have ever wondered how to increase the impact of your existing repertoire of material, this beautifully presented 128-page hardback book and DVD contains the answer. This is the system that Marc has used to create professional routines that have won him awards at FISM, European Close-up Magic Championships, the IBM British Ring competition and the Macmillan International, amongst others, as well as entertaining audiences at high-profile gigs across the globe. Grips, Lines and Looks details the exact approach Marc uses, and it explains how you can apply the same system to every one of your own performances.

"Reading your thought process gave me an amazing insight into why you did so well at FISM... The magic world is really lucky that you are sharing your thought process."
- Richard Young

"Marc Oberon has managed to create a very 'practical theory' with Grips, Lines and Looks. It is an approach to performing that all magicians should review and consider in an effort to raise the level of their performance."
- Pete Wardell

"I think you have some brilliant thinking here and, if nothing else, will invite the reader to question whether their own magic is as strong as it could be. Very thought provoking - on track to be a very useful work for any serious performer."
- Nicholas Einhorn

"I've always admired Marc Oberon's artistry. Of course, his magic is always of the highest quality, but there is something else -- those intangible qualities that mark out a true performer from someone who does some great tricks. If you are serious about PERFORMING and want your performance to become closer to art, then this is the book for you."
- Marc Paul

"With study and practice, it's IMPOSSIBLE not to improve your magical performances if you purchase this item."
- Dee Christopher

"Marc Oberon is on top of his game. His new book deconstructs what makes his magic so magical."
- Andi Gladwin

"Beautiful quality from cover to cover. Smart practical routines with mind-expanding theories."
- Jeff McBride

I read about this book in the Linking Ring reviews and purchased it.But I was disappointed .If you are reading a book on presentation / choreography for the first time, this book is readable. It has 125 pages of which the first 58 pages is the real description of the importance of looks , Lines (the flow lines of your hands) and grips (the way in which you handle a prop) to make your magic look like a pro.The remaining 67 pages is the written and photographic description of exactly whats on the CD. Why the duplication ? Makes no sense. I have read the book twice before writing this review.Its a good book for a beginner who has just got over the craze of learning new tricks and is shifting his focus of presentation.In depth research is missing.Should have been priced lower to give it the value it deserves.
If you want a book on methods/presentation go in for Strong Magic(380 pages) or Designing miracles by Darwin Otiz(200 Pages). Its Cheaper by 15 $ and the material is well researcher , no fillers, each sentence is gold.

A beautifully presented book with a wealth of great content; Grips, Lines & Looks offers a plethora of ways to make your magic stronger, more fluid and feel more magical.

Having seen Marc’s PenguinLive Lecture, I wanted to delve deeper into the overviews of theories he presented in video format and this tome doesn’t disappoint.

If you want a book of tricks, this probably isn’t for you, but if you want a book that will guide you toward creating better magic and structuring powerful acts, this is a must buy!
