The StingR. ShaneThis routine made me dust of my cups after many years of dormancy. Read for yourself from the introduction how this routine came into being and you will understand that this is not your typical cups & balls. (This routine besides a few further comments already appeared in Pentalogy.): It's funny how things go, sometimes.

Paul Fleming Book Reviews Vol. 1-3Paul FlemingPaul Fleming wrote what some consider the best book reviews in magic ever. This is the collection of all three volumes, in total 167 book reviews. Many reviewers then and now chose to write largely very positive reviews, more like an ad rather than a critical review. Paul Fleming on the contrary wrote his true opinion and slammed a book if he thought it was garbage. That makes the reviews so valuable, because you get an honest and informed opinion. The only danger in reading these reviews is that you will find many more books you will want to read. 1st edition 1942; PDF 273 pages. | ★★★★★ $15 to wish list | |
