Magic for Dummies – Book Review
Hey,
I got this book for 7 months or so. I’ve been reading it like crazy because, the writing style is Amazing!
Alot of beginner/magic introduction books were released in the market ( Royal Road, Handbook of Amateur Magician, Learn Magic by Henry Hey .. etc ), but the problem is that most of them are old ( 1940s ). Finally, a beginner magic book for the 21th century was written ..
The advantages of a *new* magic introduction book? The patter is not outdated, the methods are refined ( since methods improve over time ), and the creators are *modern*. Its nice to see names like Daryl, Paul Harris, Jon Racherbaumer and Looy Simonff’s in a beginner magic book. Also, the book talks alot about crediting, and how some people Xerox books ( and DVDs .. ), something didn’t quite exist in the past. So, some very valuble discussion on magic ethics is there, its great to see such information on a book aimed towards public. Read the rest of this entry »
