Anyone have any info on this? It looks interesting with some big name endorsements. I can't decide if I will buy this next, or Leading With Your Head but my first question is, is this a book or a pamphlet? How many pages etc... this is not answered on the web site

A review might be helpful

I have pocket power book n video. I would advise you to get both, although both contains the same material. the reason is that the video will help you to understand better in performing the newspaper tear. the newspaper tear is a great trick and it is rather tiring to learn it from the book. trust me.

on the other the book has a bonus section which the video does not have. the bonus section contains material on practising, confidence, tips on performing magic on tv, and others. oh get his rubber egg also...it's fun to play with it.


leading with your head is not a trick book. it focused on the psychology(sp?) of performing magic. it covers timing of movements, hand gestures, interaction with the audience, how to achieve the maximum impact...and many others. it's a great book to improve on your magic skills. it' 50 pages but dun judge a book by its pages. they are not very expensive, consider how many c*** tricks out there in the market. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Yes I have heard that about Leading With Your Head and that is why I want it! Thanks for the response you answered all my explicit and implicit questions.

I think the book and video are both pretty good and he has some interesting ideas. I wasn't "knocked out" by the material, but it is solid.

I have the video. I liked the $100 bill switch a lot (no TT!) Some nice tips on basic misdirection too.
