No one writes magic books like Mark Chandaue. His presentation descriptions and methods are all
clearly explained but what makes his writing stand out are the funny (and often educational) stories
and humour that are present throughout all of his books. I originally took this as a bonus to
learning great mentalism but have since come to realise that it’s also a constant reminder for me,
that at the heart of our art, being entertaining is just as important as being fooling.
The effects themselves are all superb too and are real world workers that can be scaled up or
down depending upon your situation and audience size. Although Mark encourages you to come up with
your own presentations, the scripting provided is always top tier and is an inspiring way to show
examples of how the routines can play out.
Two Harpacrowns and a Totally Free Will in, I
can’t even imagine how much I’ve learned from Mark so far but even now I know he’ll come up with
something new that will both floor me and make me smile. This is another incredible piece of work
that deserves a space on every mentalist or magicians shelf.
