This book deserves some recognition. I bought this book today and I have read 27 pages out of 123. if you are looking to improve your magic by either creating effects or by polishing a routine or just work on timing this is the best 30 dollars I have ever spent. I can already feel this book will send me over the edge to start make money on the side, a long term dream of mine. Their are exersizes in this book that I feel really work. I actually came up with an idea for card magic (which is very hard to do since there is literally thousands of different plots these days). If you can go to your local magic shop and read the foreword and the acknowledgments I am sure you will pick up a copy. 10 stars of 10. any questions don't hesitate to ask. send a PM I'm a nice guy.
