I have a great interest in Mathemagic type effects, and I already own two great books:

Math Magic - Scott Flansburg
Mathemagics - Arthur Benjamin

When anyone can do an honest review of Harry Lorayne's new book, Mathematical Wizardry, I would love to hear it (the ad just came out in the February Linking Ring magazine).

Thanks,

DonB!

Harry emailed me a couple of days ago. He will be sending some info soon. I intend on getting the book asap but I don't have the Linking Ring ad. Can anyone send me a copy of the contact information on the ad?
Thanks

Hmm-m-m... someone is selling a math book for ~$50, and wants an extra $5 "for PayPal charges". Wouldn't this suggest that math is not the author's strong suit?

Bad news. Harry said that the printers say it will be another two weeks or so before he gets the books. Now I wonder why I used paypal to expediate things? Enough dissappointment.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on the book Slim, when you've had a good read through.

Best, Corona

I'm slowly working on it. Trying to find some new things. I found one today that I'm working on. I'll be letting everyone know a little at a time. My pace is slow. (Bad Eyes)

There's a couple of new things, to me, in the first chapter, but 95% or more contained in other books so far. He did say that it was a collection of his favorites over the years, so I'm not expecting too many new things.

I've read through the bokk. Most of it seems to bo old ideas in (sometimes) a different package. Lots about magic squares, as in HL:s earlier books. Some of it is new, at least to me, and some of it is useful for doing math tricks amomg friends. As always, HL is an excellent teacher. If you don't have any books like this in your library already, it's a good buy. If you do, well...

Thanks, castormagi.
I've been waiting for a review of this book.
Have detailed reviews appeared in any of the magazines?

I totally agree with Scott's view of this book. I did expect a few more newer ideas or methods. But when he does let a GEM or two out I also feel like he shouldn't have, since now everyone knows. Kind of a Catch 22 in my own mind.

Thanks Scott. Also thank you for the Memory Effects resource PDF.

While I can't understand a mind as organized as yours, I sure can appreciate it's results! That's a must have list, Thank you.

As to HL's book, I really have a wall that jumps up when somebody asks for a PayPal fee, how about a portion of the rent or maybe a piece of the electric bill too? Oh well, it's a book I must have I reckon. Maybe I'll deduct a % of my internet ISP fee to get to PayPal.

Don't feel bad. When I first bought the book I paid via PayPal so I could get the book much faster. After paying I was sent an email stating that the book wouldn't be back from the printers for several weeks. I wasted the Paypal fee!!!!$$$$$$
