I got Unreal in October 2012; long time ago. I felt I have to write a review because the book deserves it.

There are 77 effects in this book, and each one of them is solid. I myself have performed more than 10 effects from the book in my acts. For 48 dollars, this is a total winner !!

For the other effects in the book which I haven't performed, the techniques did inspire a lot of my thinking.

I should also point out, one of the essays is called "Reading Between the Lines", where Bruce is basically telling you that upon reading the effects in the book, you have to "read between the lines" and make out something from the effect, and maybe take it a step further. That's precisely when I got loads and loads out of the book. I think this chapter should be read before reading the entire book.

To this day, I still use some of the effects in my shows.

If Bruce is reading this, I would like to say thanks.

I saw this in open box and read your review and instantly wanted it. I'm glad I won the auction at 50% off... I've bought numerous $20-$40 tricks at 75% off and spent much more then this book is at cost... reading words like yours makes me feel like this book is gonna surpass all those tricks at a better price even had I bought for listed price... I'm excited for it to come:) thanks for showing ur appreciation to this book. I hope it does as much for me as it has for you....
