this is a great book. Lots of good information Rick If you are a fan of magic and want to know how things "can" be done, this is a great book. Lots of good information. Obviously each professional will add his or her own touches to different illusions. But this book gives the basics of what's out there. The reader that knows that the real magic is in the presentation, not the mechanics, can further wonder at what they see on stage. Those that read just to know "how do you do that" may not appreciate what's really happening on the stage.. D. L. Sweeney said but a good overview of most illusions. The real deal. Not plans, but a good overview of most illusions,giving the workings.. Steve Harrington said Five Stars. Very hard to find information, well written thanks
