This is probably one of the better bargains on Lybrary.com. It beautifully illustrates a mathematical principle that I have seen used in other tricks. You will recognize the name when you see it. When this method is embedded in more complex tricks, it can be not easy to follow and understand. As a stand-alone trick, this is not amazing. As a teaching method for mathematical principles, it is outstanding. Lots of possibilities to invent new tricks based on this using photos or symbols.

Chris Wasshuber runs a wonderful website with tons of useful information. In his review guidelines, he suggests leaving some brief bio information in the magic reviews. I am 76 years old. Five years ago, a cruise ship had a magic show. I purchased his promotional kit with a few tricks. The magic bug bit hard. I now own the Tarbell books, 13 Steps to Mentalism, and many, many books and videos on Magic and Mentalism, which I have studied. I lean toward Mentalism as a fancy sleight of hand is difficult with arthritis. I mainly do thirty-minute shows for senior citizens living in my area.
