Magician, mentalist, producer - Anthony Owen is a creative force to be reckoned with. Whether in television, mentalism, or the repertoires of his fellow magicians, his influence can be felt far and wide. Now he brings together a collection of his favorite "Secrets" from a lifetime of magic just for you.

This superlative compilation consists not only of mentalism, for which he may be best known, but also close-up and parlor/stage effects that will inspire and get your creative juices flowing. You'll be treated to effects with cards, coins, sleight of hand and mentalism (of course!), but this just scratches the surface. You also get miraculous routines using Anthony's favorite adhesive utility item, Changin' Glue; Out of this World effects; amusing anecdotes from a lifetime in magic; a section about television magic that any aspiring TV magician needs to read; and lottery and popular game show effects that will simultaneously amuse, entertain and baffle parlor or stage audiences.

This volume is packed with material for magicians and mentalists alike, and will likely sell quickly. You don't want to miss out. So, pull up a comfy chair and Anthony Owen will let you in on the real Secrets of magic. Order your copy today!

Anthony Owen gives us a lot of incredible magic in this book. Almost the entire first half of the book deals with effects done using the same principle and item. The item isn't readily available in the U.S. but a variation can be made with just a little effort. That being said, if you aren't interested in creating/using that product, almost the first half of the book isn't going to give you a lot (though you can use the effects to inspire you to create some great effects of your own).

The remainder of the book is filled with fabulous stuff. Anthony does a masterful job of explaining the effects, and closes the book out with great information on doing magic on television.

I have a lot of magic books in my library and I have to say this one definitely deserves the shelf space. If you are willing to put in the time and effort to create the items needed (especially the lottery trick toward the end of the book) you'll have some killer magic that folks will be talking about.

Boring read, in the first half of the book he goes over some tricks you can do with one gimmick in particular and I only liked the oil and water routine, so almost the entire first half of the book was not worth my time to read. In the first half of the book when I was reading the description of the effect I came up with a propless way of doing the same effect that he did with a gimmick which means if you did perform it that way you will have to carry a lot of gimmicked cards and different thing with you when you could just do a non gimmicked version that is almost identical looking to what the original effect was. I was also really looking forward to the mentalism section in the book but none of it even seemed like mentalism it was just more card tricks other than the lottery which I did like but In my state gambling in illegal so almost nobody even knows what the lottery is and they don't care either. so I can't perform that unless I have a show out of state. but he does give some good advice for Television magic that could be helpful for you. with all of that being said if you are looking for effects in my opinion they are not here because they are not as good as they sound in the trailer. for $50 I would of expected great effects but these effects are just Eh.
