David Regal fills his books with incredible material, and this one is no different. In addition to
card tricks and close-up effects, there are a number of stage/parlor tricks and wonderful essays and
interviews. You are almost guaranteed to find something to perform in here in the dozens of routines
explained.
I had the privilege of seeing David perform at the 2017 Genii Convention and it
was amazing. He finally gives up the secrets to that routine here, along with a brutally honest
essay about what was going on behind the scenes for him during that time and why that convention's
performance was so important to him. David's style of writing is humorous but still deep and
truthful. When he interviews the magic greats in here (including Derren Brown, Michael Weber, Simon
Aronson, and many more) his questions are detailed and make each worth reading.
If you are
looking for new material or even idea starters for material, you'll find it here in this book. I
found two stage routines to add to my show immediately after just skimming a few pages. Another
incredible book from David!
