"This is one of the most thoroughly detailed magic books I've ever read. I thought I knew a lot about Roy Benson; he was one of my idols. But it's just mind-boggling how much actual useful information there is here. Not just about Roy Benson, but about how a real-world magic star thinks about his tricks. This is one of the best books ever written about standup sleight of hand magic. It's just thrilling." Mac King
