I've only received this book a couple of weeks ago so I haven't had the time to go through the whole book. First I have to say that it is a very nice size book, around 8-1/2 by 11 inches tall. The book is very well illustrated. I like reading card books from a lot of different magicians because each one has different takes on accomplishing a desired effect. Before this book came out I wasn't real familiar with Tom Gagnon works but I am now. So glad I bought this book. This is definitely for the intermediate to advanced card worker. But even if your not I think it's good to read how all these tricks and slights are done to advance your knowledge. Plus usually when these books sell out they will no longer be available. This book belongs on your book shelf!
