That is about all I can say after picking up this book again. For a bit of background, I picked up
this (along with all the other "self-working" books at a bookstore back when I was just starting
magic. I can go ahead and say that the bookstores were charging more than penguin does already.
Anyway, this book contains TONS of various routines that are all FANTASTIC and ready for shows.
Don't discount this book (or any of the others) JUST because they are centered towards
beginners; I have found material in here that would work JUST as well in a proffesional's stage show
as would a 500 dollar close-up gimmick.
The real value of this book however is in the fun
impromptu routines that it teaches with stuff, the pen section, and the dice section. I learned a
lot of routines I have been doing ever since from this very book.
Highly recommended for
the beginner and expert alike! Plus, it is SUPER cheap!
