What a book. This is going to become a modern classic for sure.
I was lucky enough to get a
copy of this book early at a convention in the UK, and a few days after getting back I devoured the
whole thing in a few sittings. It's incredible. The book is like a backstage 'making of' of their
entire show. Rhys and Rob (Morgan and West) write beautifully and break down every trick in their
show — but more than just explaining methods, they explain the reasoning behind why each trick goes
where, their performance style, and more. These essays are definitely the best bits of the book for
me. (Though their impossible object trick is so so damn good and definitely something I want to work
on...)
More than that, you get a full video performance of their entire show, so you can
watch each bit as you go along, or watch it all in one go.
Lastly, the production-quality
of the book is beautiful. It's a big hardback that is gorgeous to look at, and makes reading it a
pleasure.
