WHen it comes to classical magic texts, I try not to review them because usually the auther is dead
or it's a proven gem and doesn't need a review. But I want to make an exception with this one. I
think that only now is it coming into play with a lot of magicians and we should realize it's real
potential.
FIrst off, this is something I should address. The instruction is very difficult
to understand. He uses slang words and other terms used in the gambling scene that some of us might
not understand. But if you are looking for some excellent techniques, go here. THere are a ton of
things in here that are hidden and not commonly used. ALl of it requires pristine practice and
effort. You might find yourself like I did, working for months on one sleight. But the BEST
description of the pass is in here. Just a heads up.
Over all I need to give this a 4 out
of 5. The reason being the illustrations were also a little bit hard to understand at time and the
descriptions are a little "varried". But I want to make sure you read the forward/introduction.
Martin Gardner is an AMAZING writer and I highly recommend you read it. You gain a lot of good
insight to the book that can help you out later on. I know you want that out of a product :)
A little difficult to understand
