Magic is changing and a lot of the reason for this is that people's attention spans are shorter because of the pace of life today and more distractions.

We don't have the luxury of people dying for entertainment. There is too much entertainment and to compete, we have to get to the point quicker.

If you look at my magic a certain way, it is a direct result of chipping away at long tricks trying to distill them down.

"I found the latest E-books from Gregg Webb, S.O.H.O., The Shade, and Lizard Wizard's Diary, to be refreshingly different. The books are "hand-written" in journal style and contain simple but clear illustrations. Not only are they a fun read, but also contain top notch practical magic." - John Luka

From the introduction:

People always ask me, "Where do you get those wacky ideas?". I'm finally going to reveal just where they do come from. It turns out that there is a whole town where future magic is invented. They are way ahead of us. It is called Magicville and it exists in a parallel dimension as it were. And it just so happens, I invented a phone with which I can call Magicville directly! It is a direct line to Magicville! In Chapter 1 I'll show and tell how...

"Gregg Webb is one of the great underground sleight-of-hand innovators of our age. I've had the privilege to work with him in person... now YOU have the opportunity to learn from him in his pages of S.O.H.O." - Jeff McBride, creator of "McBride's Magic and Mystery School"

"Gregg Webb's brand of magic spans the full spectrum to include closeup, mentalism, manipulation, and stage. He spins his magic web - always inviting spectators one step closer to his inevitable moment of no explanations we call magic." - Doug MacGeorge
