Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Joel Howlett (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 24 April, 2023)
I really enjoyed these volumes.
Simon Lovell was both quirky and profound in these recordings.
He discusses a magic trick for Radio, a magic trick to teach your cat, comedy, why in his opinion you shouldn't float the paper rose, fees and stories and quotes from people like Tommy Wonder, Sol Stone and Peter Samelson!
These were fun to listen to! Five Stars!
Thanks Simon Lovell and lybrary.com for making these available.
The Psychology of Magic
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Joel Howlett (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Monday 24 April, 2023)
I am very happy with this purchase. Bill Nagler shares his feelings that the old saying "It's Fun To Be Fooled" may not be true! He goes into details on how a magician can change his or her approach and presentations to win over an audience. Bill gives a detailed explanation of his own close up act.
Five Stars! Thank you Bill Nagler and Lybrary.com for making this available.

Another enjoyable and informative audio from Barry Mitchell. This encouraging listen, will remind magicians of the basics of stagecraft as well as points on being a professional that many performers may be overlooking. Well done and thank you Barry.

Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 02 November, 2022)
This is a very entertaining Audio.
Harold has so much charm and great advice to share including; how to make the egg on fan fake, dressing properly, being humble and more.
I found the "live show" parts of the recording a little hard to hear and understand at times. But still highly recommend this audio.

How To Make Big Money Selling Magic
Overall customer rating: ★★★★★reviewed by Joel Howlett (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Wednesday 10 August, 2022)
Pitching magic has almost become a "lost art" in my country (Australia).
This outstanding audio was informative and entertaining. It taught the language of the 'Grafter', what to do if there are complaints, what to sell and Walt even does a recording of his entire Svengali Deck Pitch. He goes into great detail on how to adapt his pitch for crowds or one or two people.....
Highly recommended.
