Aus,
I have the book. The book goes into detail about you and the how, what, why, when, and where you should perform for the benefit of the audience and you. The book get's you thinking seriously about the art as a whole such as : ethics, practice, attitude, performing vs entertaining, emotional appeal, enjoying your work, audience involvement, why you do the things you do, your personality, knowing your style and the list goes on.... The book also goes over booking yourself,how to do school shows, sound equipment, selecting tricks, working the web...etc. If you are serious about magic and want to perform out in the real world, I would get this book and READ it and then put it into practice. We all have different personalities, we are not all Jay Sankey's David Acer's or Paul Gertner's or fill in the blank. This book will put you and the magic you do into perspective to give the audience the best you you can be. Highly recommended

If you want to be a performer you have to remember that (I think I'm paraphrasing Vernon here) it's not about the trick the guy does, it has to be about the guy that does the trick.
Being true to yourself and doing "the stuff that's you" is the most important thing. Carey's book can help point you in the right direction. It's well worth the price. |

I think the book is worth getting. There's a little too much stuff about Chris's personal situation and growth, but it contains some very good lessons.

If you don't know who you are, this book is for you. It will make you take a hard look at your character and make you determine your character if you don't already know who that is. I am actually a multiple personality I have a Pirate character, Olde Tyme Medicin Man and a Modern Hip Stage Hypnotist/Illusionist character. I would definitely urge you to grab up this book and find yourself. You will be glad you did.
