I own it, and it's one of my favorite books from Banachek, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're a beginner in magic. It takes ALOT (i'm really emphasizing that ALOT) of practice. I've been working on the Hellstromism routines taught in that book for about a year, and I still **** up all the time. It's very very hard, but I believe if you work with it enough, you'll eventually master it. It just takes alot of time and patience.
