Wide variety of effects -(a lot of card tricks) they are all different, nothing very hard to build
or make - or very difficult sleights. Everything is in range of the average magician. Very
affordable

I bought this directly from Luke. I'm not big into cards but I got two excellent routines from this
book. The 1st is a very serviceable, instant set up card switch. I love it.
The 2nd is an
awesome little routine that can be done over zoom. It's in as a bonus effect but I really love it.
I'd recommend getting this, especially if you are looking for some new card based mentalism
routines

I've never done well in isolation, something many of us are dealing with in our own way at the
moment.
Without an audience or a future audience in sight the refinery of my craft has
seemed a little pointless.
Other people in our industry have spent their whole lives like
this, spending thousands of hours on sleights and trickery that they will never show to the world.
Inconceivable by Luke Jonas is not like this, you can tell from the opening lines that this
is real-world tested mentalism, the likes of which is very rare in our current climate.
Too
many releases of late have been sheer fantasy engineered by overtired and over isolated brains.
This is not from that same poisoned vein. If you are looking for a fresh breath of air, and some
mind-reading with playing cards along the way look no further than this.

Picked this up to learn more about mentalism and got more. Love how Luke talks about the emotions
behind the trick.
Pretty easy to follow even for a beginner.

I got a copy of the book via the man himself and I have some good things to say about Inconceivable.
The book is going towards a mentalist's approach and presentation, but it isn't limiting itself
to it. It is more a way of highlighting the importance of storytelling in the deceptive arts. Not
everything in these pages will be useful for everybody, but there is something in here for everyone.
Most chapters mention playing cards, but there is much more.
My personnal favorite entry of the
book is Newton's Touch, which I reviewed in detail on its standalone penguin page. Second one would
be Breathe, probably because I do love cards. And then I know there is something for me to get from
The Lucky Penny D.S. too but I need to tinkle the idea to fit me better I think.
I should
mention that the chapter Spirit Animal is about an effect that uses references to the english
language. It may require to be a bit creative to adapt it to other ones.
"Five" stars would be
for perfection, but I spotted a couple typos and there is a missing "Fig.1" in the Breathe vhapter
(the image is missing but the explanations are really clear enough, no worries about this). This
would be a "four and a third" if I could.

I bought Inconceivable when I first saw it advertised - the book is amazing value. Some of Luke’s
thinking is ingenious and there’s a mixture of close up, stage and parlour magic and a lot of them
are versatile.
Newton’s touch was the one which I knew would instantly fit into my walk around
set and such a clever idea I’ve never seen before.
If you enjoy a mixture of magic and mentalism
then snap this book up before they run out and then wait with me until he releases his next amazing
book

I have read this book twice, now. It is not only easy to read, but the tools provided inside it's
covers are not only powerful, but also invaluable.

This book is really REALLY good and for only $25! I'm so glad I got mine before they sell out.
The effects within it are worth the price alone but the essays are pure quality as well!
