Although at first hand I`am a bit irritaded by the small format of the late Vanishing books (around
ont third of text and illustrations/photos compared to the Richard Kaufman books - for instance
"Card Shark" - with high qualitiy magic), which makes it more difficult to practice, I was becoming
more and more delighted by the clear structure, text, beautiful photos and layout and of course the
compelling tricks. Compared with the price of some mediocre video downloads a real bargain. For my
taste the over-the-shoulder photos, which switch in the book with audience-views make it easier for
me to follow and practice and I would be happy, if they became the preferred kind of illustrating.
