"I found some definitely entertaining routines in it. I have an idea most magicians will find several ideas they can use." (Dariel Fitzkee) "Very good value, and 'sneaky' enough to appeal to every entertainment-seeker." (John Braun) "Two dozen excellent tricks ... all audience-tested and complete with tongue-in-cheek patter. For freshness of approach and originality, they are in a class by themselves." (John J. Crimmins, Jr.)
