Power of the Svengali
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Jacob Johnson (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 16 September, 2024)
I admit that I am a big fan of Gerald Edmundson and his "Ostrich Factor", so this was a no-brainer for me to get! Gerald has put together a very nice set of ideas for using the Svengali deck. I especially liked the chapter on deck switches! (Now if Gerald would only agree to putting the "Ostrich Factor" on lybrary.com!)
Two Vernon Classics & Revisiting the Overhand Lift Shuffle
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Frederick Straub (confirmed purchase)

Firstly, allow me a brief introduction: I am by no means a performance quality sleight of hand magician; I am a retired attorney which makes me a performance quality sleight of mind magician! I recommend this read quite highly! Gerald Edmundson simplifies the method for constructing these masterful tricks to produce Dai Vernon's ultimate effects. I find it refreshing when a real professional opens the vault to allow this novice to learn more simple approaches. The reading required me to research Dai Vernon and his construction, but it urged me to do so unforced and eagerly. The KISS method the author uses and more respectfully calls "Sleight-of-Hand for the Real World," removes a large barrier that has prevented this old, disabled barrister from pursuing magic as both a pastime and part-time profession. Thanks for a great read!
