This is a great piece of work. Elsdon has picked out 101 great tricks that will be available in
most well-read magician's library. I've already gotten a piece for my stand-up show that I know is
going to kill, both comedically and magically.
If you are looking for tricks with instructions,
this is not your book. If you are looking for a master to point you in the right direction for
tricks in books you already own (or should), this is gold.
Don't pay attention to those who
simply did not know what they were purchasing. If you are looking for some "coaching" in terms of
choice of tricks, get this.
Now I've got to get back to practicing my coin swallowing act.
