I really enjoyed TOTM so this is a no brainer. However, looks like I'll have to get it shipped unless anyone knows if there is a UK distributer yet.
We're having a laugh!

Hi Scott,
I wouldn't say that. Right now it's tied for the Book of the Year. Remember, that Max Maven's Prism and Barry Wiley's The Indescribable Phenomenon came out this year, too (all from Hermetic Press). But that doesn't make this book any less worthy, it just means that so far it's been a good year for mentalism books. -- Jheff

And have yet to read the Indescribable Phenomenon. So in my eyes definetely book of the year thus far.
Thanks! Scott B.

I received my copy of Act Two today, and I've published my initial impressions over at Grey Matters.

Another quality book from Barrie Richardson and Hermetic Press. It really is a joy to own a book such as this.
I have only just dipped into it after receiving it this morning, but I've already eyed "Untouched" and the rice-jar suspension as fantastic routines. A must-have. |

Which dealer has the best price on this (including shipping to the US).

Your best bet would probably be Hocus-Pocus or Hermetic Press.

I think madhatter magic is having a sales price.
I am still awaiting my copy. Looking forward to it. Heard nothing but good stuff for this book. |

I am about 3/4 through it and can say that two routines already stand out as "worth the price of admission" for me....
The Lazy magi CAAN and the Simplex Mindreading Act are fantastic... I could name more, but buy it and read it through just for the enjoyment first. Then go back and really study how great YOUR OWN favorites are. Awesome read. Paul h. |

Got my copy today, and will read it for the next days foreward. Can you tell that I am exited? Of course you can, you are all mentalists...

A question: Two effects are being independently marketed by jbmagic (https://vault2.secured-url.com/jbtv/home.asp) and possibly by others: optical brainwave and any card at any number. Are these effects included in ACT II? Are they heavy on the gaffing and so worth buying separately?
I am asking because I clearly want ACT II, but wonder whether anyone in their right mind should buy the individual marketed effects. many thanks, Loz |

The any card at any number is not the same as in Act Two, The Optical Brainwave is though.
Thanks! Scott B.
