After BB exposed things to line his wallet and boost his ego, he has a lot of gall coming out with a product. Wonder how he'd feel if it were exposed?

Ok, so the people over at Scam Stuff were very helpful and even sent me the link to the explanation video. Keeping in mind that I haven't received this yet, this is just an early review.
I don't like some of the things Brian has done in the past (aka Invisible deck, ...) but this product must be one of the best things I've ever bought. He talks about the quality of the books and how they have been modified (they went to a professional to get them done), then he talks about the history and credits (he even got permission from Teller for one of the things in there). There are 3 main principles and they all seem to work very well. This will pass casual inspection. Now, not having received it yet, I will finish by saying this: Brian has taken something originally used by Penn and Teller (with permission and modified it in SUCH a clever and devious way. Wow, hats off. Money well spent, will report back when I get it. |

How any serious magician can choose to support Brian Brushyourwood is beyond me. Especially a creator like Sashac. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

I never particularly liked Brushwood and his show, but when someone like that recommends, I listen. Having bought it, I must say that although I don't agree with what BB does at all, this truly is the best book test I have ever seen. |

I really hope that when Mr. Brushwood does a show using this, that the audience is full of YouTube learners all screaming out how its done. See if he likes it then. Of course anyone else using it I wish nothing but the best, but this brushwood character deserves to be run out of town.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

So who is the impressive DC consultant?
The main one leftover now is not hardto figure out - Chris Kenner? B Smith left a few years ago. Personally I wouldn't buy his wares at any price. If this was that great a book test you would have expected more buzz over these years. Me - I will stick with MOABT and others by creators who use less gel in their hair and have respect for the magic community.

I honestly think there would have been more buzz about this if the buyers didn't already think that this thread took a ridiculous swerve as nothing more than a Brushwood bashing soiree. I and two other magicians here locally in Columbus went out to see and support one of our buddies doing a show when he debuted this book test. All three of us saw this book test and thought it was in fact the best and most deceptive one we had seen. Two of us are quite the book test connosieurs and were struck by the routining behind this test. Our good friend allowed us to look at the books after the show and pointed out to us how brilliant they were, and within a week, all three of us ordered the books. (All four of us do corporate stand-up, one is huge on the college market and one is huge on the trade show market). So, while I don't always agree with Brushwood and some of his activities, I know that none of the four of us hesitated to fork over the money for this trick (which was a few thousand dollars combined).
We have been using these for almost 18 months now. I for one have featured it in my comedy stand-up act, my corporate shows and even featured it in a trade show. Folks from all over the convention floor came to my clients booth asking to see the "thing with the books." I could go on with a more detailed review but not sure what the point would be. I would be happy to start a new review thread if I thought it would be helpful, but I know it would last about three posts before blowing up into another debacle. I find it interesting that somebody indicated the disappointment that Penn and Teller (mainly Teller) collaborated with Brushwood and gave permission to include part of his working into this book test. How quickly P&T are back in favor with the magic community when just about ten years ago, they were widely hated on these same message boards for exposure as well. Not looking to add to the back and forth on this thread. I totally respect everyones opinion on here to disagree with Brian if they choose to, but to indicate that this book test must be inferior because of the buzz, I know that not to be true. At least my little band of brothers have discussed this thread over drinks about a year ago and indicated that there would be no value to jumping into this thread, but it is Christmas break and I am bored. If anybody wants a full review of the book test with a grade or rating, please let me know, I would be happy to do so. |

Karma will come calling for Brushwood and all who support him and his products.

It depends on your principles. If you have few or none, you'll go with anything that works.

As Dustman said, I have all the books and think it's by far the best booktest I've ever seen. As for Brusheood, to be honest, but for this thread, I never would have heard of him. I don't support exposure but also think the reaction to him is way over blown. I've never talked to a single adult that's heard of him and the kids that may know who he is aren't at any of the gigs I perform at. So his footprint is do tiny, his impact will be less than minimal.
