My 158-page book contains the following:

WHAT IS THOUGHT SPACE?: My introduction explaining the title and purpose of the book.

KILL BILL: In which a word written on a randomly selected piece of bill perfectly matches a prediction written by the magician.

CHARMING REDUX: My handling of Troy Hooser's "Charming Chinese Challenge" using just one coin instead of three.

SALT, STRAW, SPECTACULAR: A borrowed drinking straw penetrates through an ungimmicked salt shaker.

A GRAIN OF SALT: A shaker vanishes from between a participant's hands and reappears back in the condiment holder.

SHAKER-THRU-WINDOW: A salt shaker is magically pushed through a restaurant window, to be found on the ground outside directly beneath it. Unsigned, initialed and signed variations included!

PIGMENT STACK: A special stack that allows you to do some killer effects!

THE COLOR OF MEMORY: This one hits laypeople AND magicians hard. The performer uses his intuition and memory to not only correctly divine the colors of freely cut-to cards, but also manages to separate the deck into red and black cards without looking. No markings of any kind.

THE PADDLE MOVE - A BRIEF DISSERTATION: I walk you through how I believe the paddle move should be accomplished in order to make it as deceptive as possible.

POLYCHROMATIC CONNECTION: My full Hot Rod routine that elevates this classic prop from a toy to a tool of mental destruction.

OCULAR FORCE: A highly deceptive optical illusion-based sleight that allows you to cleanly force one or more cards.

OCULAR ACES: Four participants choose "lucky" cards from a shuffled deck. The magician deals down cards in the deck according to the values of the selections, locating the four Aces!

SO IT GOES: AN ESSAY: A short essay on how Kurt Vonnegut influenced my magic and why you should let him influence yours.

Thought Space is this guys attempt at a book, and if you don’t know this guy you probably should. He has a keen ability to rework throw away items, breath on them and slay you with some visual magic from it.

If you frequent diners with your friends, the ones with the booths by the window, this book is for you. As a Bartending Magician, I found some killer gems in this book, gems that will make a legend out of me.

Charming Redux is a sequence that is a short of Troy Hoosiers Charming Chinese Challenge. Pretty much the meat of it. It’s snappy and modular, and if you like to use Chinese coins in your set, it’s something to look at.

The next three effects involve our favorite prop, salt shakers. But what I focused on is Shaker Thru Window. That’s right, a salt shaker through a window. But what really hit me is that there is a method tipped to have the spectators signature on said salt shaker. This was pretty much worth the price of the book for me because of how the signature gets there. This can be taken and used on many effects that involve a volunteer’s John Hancock. If you are a server or Showtender like me, prepare to make waves...reading one paragraph will have your customers ready to worship you.

The Pigment Stack is a very cool cycling stack that begins with a four ace trick that will throw folks off the scent because you can show the stack. Reminiscent of Luke Jermays, reading the cards by touch (forgive me if my memory fails), with the option to do out of this world, and some more clever things without a lot of memory work pre handling.

The Paddle Move Dissertation. I just don’t know what to say. I’m just very upset with myself for giving away color hotrods, regularly a throw away item I’d give to new magicians, because what Eric has done with basic paddles and paddle moves is literally insane. This dude IS the WORK on this. I now understand why he is known for this, but really you get to understand Eric Stevens talent, he can embellish established techniques that magicians regularly throw away or quit on, make them visual and workable in the real world if you are brave enough. The book doesn’t do the visual element justice, because this was previewed on his Live lecture, but it does disclose those deadly details needed to pull this off.

I love this book, and it’s one I will have to revisit to put the work in. And this was one of his first books. Sadly most of you don’t know this guy, and I would love to keep his creations to myself. But if you read the last essay in the book, he won’t have it. He takes magic as a gift and art, something we MUST give.

This is an easy read style book; however, if you don’t understand if you want to hide a secret, put it in a book these days, you’ll quickly miss some stuff in here.

Awesome Book from Eric Stevens Report this review

Eric Stevens has put together a collection of very good magic! Clear concise writing along with detailed photos make it easy to learn his effects.

charming redux, pigment stack and Eric's work on the paddle move are some of the highlights in the book.

We had Eric lecture for our club a few months ago, shortly before he released the book. I had the chance to see some of these effects in action! I can tell you his paddle move routine is fantastic! Eric has taken it to a new level!

He has also come up with a brilliant move for charming redux called the "vertical drop" that can also be used for Charming Chinese Challenge. It is a thing of beauty to see!

Eric's pigment stack that he uses for the color of memory trick is another winner in the book! I got a chance to see him perform this as well!

Eric put a lot of love into his book, which makes it a very enjoyable read...I highly recommend it!
