Magic Tricks

I read about this book in the Linking Ring reviews and purchased it.But I was disappointed .If you are reading a book on presentation / choreography for the first time, this book is readable. It has 125 pages of which the first 58 pages is the real description of the importance of looks , Lines (the flow lines of your hands) and grips (the way in which you handle a prop) to make your magic look like a pro.The remaining 67 pages is the written and photographic description of exactly whats on the CD. Why the duplication ? Makes no sense. I have read the book twice before writing this review.Its a good book for a beginner who has just got over the craze of learning new tricks and is shifting his focus of presentation.In depth research is missing.Should have been priced lower to give it the value it deserves.
If you want a book on methods/presentation go in for Strong Magic(380 pages) or Designing miracles by Darwin Otiz(200 Pages). Its Cheaper by 15 $ and the material is well researcher , no fillers, each sentence is gold.
