Hi. This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic!
Now THIS was a book I actually enjoyed reading. If you are looking for something pertaining to magic, chill to read, and even a bit informative this is a good book for you.
I warn you not to expect anything monumental magic-wise. It's not a trick book. It's much more an autobiography. It's a good read though. If you would like to delve deeper into the life and mind of David Blaine, pick this up. You'll have a good time with this one.

If you're like me and like to read, try reading this one. I really enjoyed reading how he got started and how his career really blossomed. As a bonus, he also teaches you a few basic tricks that you can use in your own routine as well. The book itself is really good quality. Better than any mass market novel you'll buy.

As others have said, this book isn't a book that teaches you how to do magic, but there are a few tricks within it. This book is mainly a biography of David Blaine and a great insight into his mind, and the way he thinks. It's a great read and well worth the time and investment. You will NOT be disappointed!

I didn't get this on penguin I got it at a book store. But this is probably on of my favorite books. And no, it is not a trick book. it's more of a biography of magic. But still, an awesome book!
