Does anyone here have paul osbornes illusion systems book 4?? I bought it and am waiting for it to arrive...i was wondering if anyone here thought it was good?

There are some good ideas in it. My main complaint with Paul's books is that he seems to be afraid of including good, usable Tables of Contents, so you might see something you like and not be able to find it later.

I have it:

Below pretty much tells you what it contains. It's not his best, but if any of the below interest you then get it. Several of them are in his other books.

Pull Thru Broom Suspension
Arch of Impossibility
Flaming Alter of Mochica
Vampire Illusion (In Haunted Illusions)
See Thru Straight Jacket
Phone Home (ET Fraidy Cat)
Hat Box Illusion
Goodby Girl Illusion
Cannon Illusion- Part 1, 2 & 3
Here Comes Santa Claus
Caterpillar Illusion
Pharaoh Returns
Goodby Girl Illusion

I did not like any of these hand drawn plans:
Aga Levitation (Abbott's Plan)
Enchanted Tent (Abbott's Plan)
Phantasmo (Abbott's Plan)
Mummy's Cloth (Abbott's Plan)
Caliph's Cutter (Abbott's Plan)
Guillotine (Abbott's Plan)
Levitation Deluxe (Abbott's Plan)

I personally liked his latest book Classic Illusions Vol 1 which he presents several versions/variations of the classics.

Classic Illusions gets my vote, too, as being the most practical of the books.

I found the Abbots (hand drawn) plans within book four to be plain confusing, what they needed was a nice touch of Osborne's drawing skills. Although not his best book, it is always a welcome addition in my library.
