Reviews
The vanishing saltshaker, rubberband jumping, bending spoons, ring off rope and the cut rope trick appear in many magic books including a few I new as a kid but also The Complete Idiot's Guide to Street Magic and WIlson's classic course on magic. But, you can present things a different way. So, in a way, even seeing the same trick gone over 3 or more times in various texts, gives you, the performer more ideas. I like this book because there are more photos than in the Street Magic book mentioned before because, your really need this to learn the magic. So, yeah, I am glad I got this. No problem with shipper.
