Magic Tricks

I'm going to give it to you straight.

In every effect on this you do need props. Direct Mind Reading (the "Propless one") needs pen & paper.

Also, Direct Mind Reading is total bull. You, in all likelyhood, will never use it during your shows.

Other than that this book is great. The Dissolving Card is hard-hitting. In combination with an Invisible Deck, it's almost pure mentalism.

The Spirited Card Stab seems to be a great stage effect. However, I'm a Close-up magician, so I might never use it. If you are, though, you probably will use it forever.

The Bonus Section has many great ideas. You are sure to find something in there for you.

Overall, I recommend this book. I wish it were cheaper, but, oh well. Go ahead and buy this.
