About a week ago I decided to pick up Jamie’s book, “The Approach.” While is not cheap for a book,
I thought Jamie had shared so much information for free over the years that it was a fair asking
price.
I finished reading the book in 2 days and I think I can sum it up in one
word…”Enthusiasm.”
Jamie’s enthusiasm and love of performing magic pours out of the pages
of the book. When reading it, you can’t help but to be excited as well. There is TONS of valuable
information packed inside. Some things I already knew but there were so many things I had NEVER
thought of! There will probably be some things you disagree with…that’s ok. As Jamie says (I’m
paraphrasing), “We’re all different.”
I put “The Approach” in my top 5 magic books I’ve
read (please don’t ask me the other 4 right now). If you are a magician (close-up, stage, whatever),
you should read this book. I’ve never met Jamie before but if we’re ever in the same place, I’m
going to buy him a beer or 3 because 1) he seems like he’d be awesome to hang out with and 2) he
deserves it for all he’s shared with the magic community, including this book.
