Regrettably I had an email from Ian Rowland to say that Drew McAdam's book has been out of print and unavailable for years.

I purchased this book about a couple years ago.. excellent book!! Is it really out of print already though?
It occured to me at once that love could be a great illusion, that makes fools of brilliant thinkers everyday

Would it be worth putting this book out as an e-book?
I still have the original penultimate manuscript(in Word)before the last few typos were changed. Only thing is, this is something I did in partnership with Ian Rowland so I will have to ask his views and permission. Also, I know that his excellent sense of touch has been copied and tossed into the world, which is just plain wrong. (he said in an interview that there are so many pirate copies around that the first man to land on mars will probably find a PDF copy of SOT waiting for him). That said, I have encrypted codes into each individual copy of The Drooby Book, so that if a pirate copy turns up, I know who dun it. It means dicking around with each copy I send out, but I would be willing to do something similar with Making Money from Magic if there was enough demand. The original book was intended, not to make dosh for myself, but to outline for those who want to make enough money from their art to be able to give up their day job (It is NOT a get rich quick scheme, simply an outline of what I did and how to replicate the steps.) That said, things have moved on – regular TV spot, radio series, and stable performer at one of the UK’s top hotels - Gleneagles. But it’s still following the path and principles laid out in the book. I will be seeing Ian Rowland at Tabula Mentis, and will discuss it with him then. Would it be worth the work? Drew |

Drew, along with your safeguards, I would say to price the ebook even higher than the printed one. It's a great book and I'd hate to see your work passed along for free on a whim. You might even think of having them sign some agreement to get it.
Just a thought. Greg

Drew: My friend, I have no objection to you doing whatever you want with the manuscript of MMFM. Please feel free to publish it in any form you like! There's absolutely no need to get my approval or permission, but in any case consider it given!

I know for a fact that I would be in for a copy!
This is something that I would DEFINITELY have printed out and bound though to sit on my shelf. Sounds too worthy to live its only days on a computer screen. This is something you take to the park and contemplate about!
Things are about to change........ LIGHTS!!!

Okay, lads and lassies... Ian has given me permission to release it in eBook format. So I'm going to do it. Slight problem is that I am entering an incredibly busy phase - TV, Radio series, gigs and all the rest of it. And that's good!
But it's going to take me into January before I can get round to this - please bear with me. The many emails I have received from individuals who have started making enough cash from their mentalism / magic to go into their boss' office and tell them where to stuff their job is heartening. It's why it was written – and for no other reason. That alone makes me want to have this workbook available for all and sundry. Secondly, Ian Rowland spent a lot of time and effort proof reading this and so on for the printed version means that he will be entitled to a fair share of any income it generates. That said, I really did NOT write it for the money. So, it is my intention for the proceeds to go to The uFoundation – a charity close to my heart. The kids in Zambia (orphans from 6 – 16) realise that education is their only way out of the hole they are in, and so they willingly walk 8 miles to school and 8 miles back each day in the searing heat. Imagine! We have already built a school and a nursery – and it’s time for more. I love the idea that mentalists can make a good living from their art thanks to the book, and at the same time desperate kids can nourish their minds. Everybody wins, and all I have to do is re-write parts of the book, change it into a pdf and send it out by email. Everybody wins! You can see the kids here… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj8wX2TfmT0 Actually it’s quite a nice little slide show, I think. (I took the pics on a recent visit – and YES the white guy IS me.) And THIS is where your money will be going. Good idea? Yes? One interesting thing – you will see a pic in there of Kenneth Kaunda (The Ghandi of Africa) and I. K.K is wearing a watch – it’s a specially designed and manufactured watch that Uri Geller gave him when he also gave us his Jaguar Sterling car to sell on eBay to raise funds to build the school.

Excellent news. I lost my hard copy shortly after I received it, so I look forward to being able to replace it.
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.
