I have all three of Paul's books ... It isn't the magic in them that makes them so great because
there are a lot of super effets out there ... it's Paul. The first book taught me the difference
between entertaining an audience and the importance of Astonishing them. Teaching people that it is
OK to know its a trick and still have those few seconds of WOW!!!! before they remember that.
I have tried to use Pauls attitude in my work more than his effects since reading these books.
It has also helped me enjoy the magic of others more by allowing myself to be Ashtonished!
Best investment to date in Magic. Best deal on the net? Penguin of course! Love you guys.
