Long-winded at times, and I didn't get very much information from this book. Plus the author seems a little bit self-righteous in some of the interactions he describes with other magicians. Would not recommend.

Funny how reviews that include insults are almost always anonymous.

Pretty clear why...and kinda funny, too.

It also immediately ruins all credibility.

I'm not anonymous and I think Me. Swiss is a pompous douchebag. I also think he's a good magician with a great mind and I hate how much I like this book.

Burciaga, ahem...no.
In fact, you've lost even more credibility with your reply.

Where did I say anything about you being one of Swiss' "arch enemies"?
Hell, I didn't even imply such a thing, let alone say it.
So I haven't a clue where you're getting that from.

And why don't you show me how I'm "helping" Mr.Swiss with my first comment on your anonymous review?
Not only did I never mention his name, but my initial comment literally has nothing to to with him or his product.

Perhaps this is why you didn't enjoy his book?
It seems when you read something, you then forget what it was you just read, replacing it with whatever you want.
It could be a subconscious issue, but something tells me it's not that complicated.


Man, people go so over the top these days.
Anytime a stranger has an opinion they don't like, it's time to lose their composure.

Looking at how many people liked his review seems like it was a good review. Good job for being honest and not let this guys magic posy or bullies or brown noses let them delete your review.

@raceblakhart Leave him alone. The book was absolutely and unquestionably a waste of money. If you're arguing it's because you didn't read it.
