I received my copy yesterday and I am very fascinated by what I've read so far. It's a great read and I give it my highest recommendations. But there's something that new magicians, and anyone who is not familiar with this course should know. It was a course from years ago. Meaning you bought the course and you were sent all the apparatus needed to do the effects. You would be able to write Mr. Tarbell and ask any questions. At the end, you would receive a diploma. It's no longer a live course in that respect. You will not be able to perform some of the effects because the apparatus is unavailable. The exception is common household items. There are some build-it-yourself effects too that you will be able to do. Also, when he gives advice on how to get into the business and how much to charge, you have to adapt it to modern times, specifically with pricing. None of this should deter you from purchasing this large volume. Just want people to know what they are getting. But there is still TONS of information that you will be able to use and there is a lot written on theory, history, attitude, etc...If you have the money, get this. If you don't, start saving and pick this up as soon as you can. You won't regret it.
