Anything by Jeff Long is killer. He wrote The Descent (same title, and very similar plot to the movie, but they aren't the same) and Year Zero. Both excellent books.
The Harry Potter series is good.
Lord of The Rings (duh)
I like alot of the old sci-fi books from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Year zero was excellent

Well, I'll try to keep this magic related. After all, this is a magic forum.

// "Absolute Magic" by Derren Brown
// "Pure Effect" by Derren Brown
// The "Art of Astonishment" Series by Paul Harris
// "Psychological Subtleties" by Banachek
// "Mysterious Stranger" by David Blaine

...just to name a few.

Would "sock" By penn Jilette count?
Or how about "Cruel tricks for dear friends"?

I loved David Blaines book, too.

Davids book was excellent, I heard he was writing another one..

But you cant believe everything you hear i guess.

I cannot fathom that you guys have not mentioned Mindfreak: Secret Revelations by Criss Angel -- it's only on the New York Times Best Seller.

But you cant believe everything you hear i guess.

Nor can one believe everything one reads.

Read it. Didn't really care for it.

Read it. Didn't really care for it.

Apparantly some people liked it, I took a glance at it, while I was at Barnes and Noble -- not for me.

Mysterious Stranger, David Blaine, on the other hand, had some good facets and aspects.

Cheers,

I don't think Criss Angel's life as a kid makes a good book. I didn't care for most of the tricks in the book either, except for the Knife In Card one.

"Mysterious Stranger" by David Blaine he is an amazing writter
Royal Road to Card Magic

 

[Bill Fedrin]

Currently reading "Sleight of Mind" by Ian Harling and Martin Nyrup. I just got it in the mail today so I'm not that far in it yet, but it's pretty sweet already.

The package it was mailed in was stamped "Top Secret," which made me feel special. Do they do this for all magic-related publications?

I just received the book 5 x 5 Japan and I have to say that the magic in this book is absolutely amazing. The effects that are taught in this book are extraordinary and the card transport is worth the book all together. Great book and I have to say it's a must for anyone.
