Years ago, I bought this book instead of my textbooks for college. I also have Vol. 1. Vol 2 is a
compliation of his later works (2000s-2013) and Vol 1 is his earlier. Unlike Vl, this is printed on
glossy paper making for a heavier book but the illustrations are clearer. The first booklet,
Fundamentals is a great starting point for any mentalist. The tricks are thoroughly explained and
contains elements of psychology, theater, and everything in between and comes with a reading list.
The other booklet chapters cover Bob's refined and final thought and developments on his routines in
the his last years. Along with his thoughts on stagecraft and being a better artiist such as preshow
and confidence. Overall, I read the first chapter of this book every year; that's how good it is.
