First things first, every technique and effect taught here is worth the price of the book alone. So
I have to agree with other reviewers and recommend the purchase.
However, I only gave it 2
stars because the writing is, in my opinion, horrible. The book doesn't follow a common format
(Intro/Effect/Method, for example), but the format varies from trick to trick, making the read much
more difficult that it would be. Some techniques are over explained, but others lack description and
are hard to read.
I would love to see a new edition with proper formatting and a revised
writing, because the techniques taught here are truly gems.
