Hi,
I have just received an email from Vanishing Inc about the new book from Pete McCabe (vol 2) and the publish of an enhanced version of the volume 1 released in 2007. The two books will be ship the 4th December. I loved the first book, I cannot wait to read the new one. |

Just ordered the deluxe edition! Their sale is still going on so I also got three additional effects for free.
Can't wait to dig in. |

Bad news: no delivery of the books as from the email received yesterday.
On the web site the deluxe edition has not anymore release date, so we have to wait. |

A friend of mine got his from Vanishing Inc the other day. We compared vol 1 as best we could over the phone. He has the new (he opted for the deluxe edition) and I have the original vol 1. The books are the same size but his is a hair thicker. It turns out there are only 6 new pages in the new Vol 1. In his opinion, there were probably more than 6 pages worth of illustrations and pictures. For an example, page 97 of the old version is where the Eugene Burger “silent script” starts. In the new one it starts on page 100 if I remember correctly.
I’m hoping someone who has both can do a real comparison side by side to see if it is worth getting the new vol 1 to go with vol 2 (I am not interested in the deluxe). I thought I read somewhere that vol 1 was revised a bit along with the addition of illustrations but only 6 pages (for the amount of illustrations) doesn’t seem like a lot of real estate for revision unless maybe they tightened up the font a bit. I will be getting Vol 2 regardless, but if someone has both editions of vol 1, please post your thoughts on the two or PM me and let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for the great review. They are fantastic books. Seems like they are flying under the radar for some reason.

I’m re-reading Scripting Magic 1. Great book! Now we need to convince Vanishing Magic to re-release “The Dark Card.” It has a very interesting write up in Scripting Magic.

Can anyone tell me If the deluxe set worksheets are "worth" the extra £50 as Penguin and Vanishing hasn't exactly been forthcoming when I asked the same question - first time ever as both usually have top notch customer services.
I would just like to know if the worksheets add anything significant to the content / knowledge as a whole or if its just "a little bonus".
Always "sleightly" curious.

No,
You can buy the two volumes and you have the same content except some printed paper (that you can download from the web site and print by yourself) Diego |
