This is a wonderful and very readable autobiography by Tony Kardyro, aka Senor Torino or Tony London. It is filled with lots of great routines, tips, and bits of business from a pro who was living and breathing magic. It includes interesting and educational stories and opinions to learn from. For example:
Remember, it does not matter where you are from - it is where you go that is important!
Most would do well to buy the older manuscripts and paper-covered books written by men who were the professionals of the old school. You not only get your money's worth, but you learn more of the true down-to-earth principles.
