I am a huge fan of M&W's work and the opportunity to see their thought processes in a show is a real
treat. You are given access to an entire show on video so you can watch them work, then the book
goes into a detailed explanation on each effect, with essays on thinking behind certain things in
their show that you can apply to your own. Not to mention how unbelievable the book feels! It's
top-quality all the way and will look great on your bookshelf.
Obviously, some things are
specifically for two-person acts, but there are ways to adapt many of them to an individual. My
favorite effect in the show (and one that must remain two-person, I think) involves a spectator's
signed card disappearing from a deck held in the magician's hand only to appear (deck and all)
inside a closed bottle...and it can't be pulled out of the bottle! You leave the spectator an
impossible object. This is an unforgettable moment in your show, though it does involve some preshow
work that they say takes about three minutes.
This book is a great gift to the magic
community from a pair of professionals who think outside the box. Worth every penny!
