[@chrisharrelson66]

My opinion? You are definitely the Mr. Rogers of magic review channels. I mean that to be a high compliment. Teaching everyone of all ages more than just new magic products coming out...and absolutely no swear words. Thank you for the awesome reviews!!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood

[@JohnnyWestMagic]

So true, intelligent people don't need to use profanity, they find other ways to express themselves. Have to admit, I didn't stop till I left the Army, lol!

[@theorushinjr9023]

Great Review!! Forget the effects. I want it for the essays. the effects are just the icing on the cake. Great Quote!! That is the main reason I take a break (year or two) from Magic every few years.

[@magicorthodoxy]

welcome back !!!

[@patrickdutton6056]

( I.B.M.) international BROTHERHOOD of magicians , I miss the pizza parlor meeting , goofing off and joking around OH yeah magic ..good times ,sharing everything you know 🐇🕳🪄Thank you sir

[@magicorthodoxy]

I wish I had experienced the "brotherhood" more - it certainly doesn't exist at my local "cafe"

[@jameswebb8338]

Enjoyed this review immensely!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jacksonbollock]

Great review, as always. Thanks David! Think you forgot to mention the price which is quite relevant in this case - an astronomical £125 in the UK (!!!) which excludes those of who aren't rolling in disposable cash. No matter how great the book, this is just insane, elitist pricing.

[@magicorthodoxy]

$170 in USA

[@markchandaue2218]

Alas quality costs. This is priced in line with other recent mentalism books. Bigger Fish 1 £150, Bigger Fish 2 £200, APOMM Hard back £100 Eric Samuels Setting the Stage £150. Rogues Manual £120, Architect of the Mind £100, Mythology Codex £135. Then of course you have things like Train Tracking and the Black Project at £300 each. The market for mentalism books is much smaller than magic books and this is why they are far more expensive. I was able to make Totally Free Will cheaper because it appeals to magicians as well as mentalist. I made a soft back version of the original Harpacrown to make it more accessible but the more expensive hard back is the one that sold. I’m out of hard backs now but still have soft backs left. This particular book took 4 years to write and cost close to ten grand to produce. However if your circumstances put this book out of your reach contact me on Facebook and I am sure between instalment plans or discounts we could find a way to make it possible for you to own it. At the very least I could jump on a video call and teach you some of the effects. Good magic to all! Mark

[@jacksonbollock]

@@markchandaue2218 thanks so much for your kind, considered reply. I genuinely appreciate it. My comment wasn't intended as an attack on your book in particular, but rather a critique of the trend you describe. I completely understand the costs that go into publishing that you describe. I come from a social sciences background where publishing takes years of toil and hard work, with proportionately very little reward. So maybe that skews my thinking. I know the demand is there for books at these kinds of prices. But I just think it's a mistake to let the market dictate how our magical knowledge is made available. Many will disagree with me, but I'm strongly for a model of knowledge sharing that makes information available to everyone who wants it and can benefit from it, not just those who can afford it. I'm sad to see the trend in magic and mentalism towards high prices that, as a fairly working class kid with not much cash, would have made me think the world of magic isn't for "people like me". It's a much bigger discussion but think magic and mentalism would benefit from some of the more collegiate sharing systems you get in other fields. I really appreciate your kind offers and may take you up on them. The book looks like a wonderful resource. Congratulations on what I'm sure is a phenomenal piece of work. Like you say, good magic to all!

Such nice words and thoughts Sir! Thanks for your Feedback and perfect words! Love from Berlin, Germany

[@magicorthodoxy]

My pleasure!

[@theskullinside666]

That is a beautiful book!! Thank you so much for the amazing review David!! ❤️❤️ Happy weekend!!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thanks !!!

[@d1g1m1]

Love Love Magic Books! Have 100s of them... My Favourite of All time is Will Goldston’s “Exclusive Magic Secrets “ from around a 100 years ago... Got my reprint copy from Dover for Xmas as a 10 year old in the 1970s & it’s signed by dozens of Magicians...! As David says all the time; the best stuff is hidden in Books...! 👍🎩😃 🇸🇱

[@magicorthodoxy]

YES!!!!

[@pianotubeleonbricht9635]

I am extremely impressed by your upload scheme!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Scheme? Plot? Plan?

[@pinballwizard666]

Well David, your reviews have not let me down so far. ..so. I have just spent 220 of my English Pounds £££ and am now eagerly awaiting deliver of the 'collectors bundle'. I'm just a hobbyist with a keen interest in mentalism ...... And I must get a bigger bookcase. Cheers4now.

[@magicorthodoxy]

hope you love it

[@robertsaks640]

Bought Harpacrown Too. Cant wait for your review of Harpacrown ‘One’

[@magicorthodoxy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@tonyrazzano9912]

Outstanding review, Dave. Thank you!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Thank you

[@steveblack7552]

Fantastic book. One of the best on mentalism on the market !!

[@magicorthodoxy]

Agreed

[@rodrigodiaz6106]

Great review as always David 🙌🏻, I hope you can have a chance to review Punch’d by abstract effects, it looks so good to be true. Thanks for the review :))

[@magicorthodoxy]

I'll check it out!

[@crawdini5244]

David , very true about competition . I have left more than one channel due to that.

[@magicorthodoxy]

Sad really

[@LeighMilneMagic]

Hi David. Do you have a few 'essential' books we should all own?

[@magicorthodoxy]

I guess it depends on your focus and skill level

[@LeighMilneMagic]

Yeah, I can see that. What I'd like to see is a short series from you, featuring videos like 'Best coin magic books', 'Best Impromptu tricks', 'Best stage show effects', etc. (Said as if you've nothing else to do with your time 😂... But only because we value your opinion)

[@MatthewTigerSwanson]

Thank you for the little piece out of the book. As a theatre artist myself, your thoughts and that passage apply to everything in the arts. It's very sad. Thank you fir being such a light of positivity for this community. Also, it's there an order you would recommend to read these books in? Does it matter? Harpacrown had been on my list for a while, and they're crazy expensive lmao

[@magicorthodoxy]

I'm assuming you should read book 1 first - LOL

[@braydenf7272]

[@gmamagillmore4812]

Does anybody have this in a standard addition ?

[@markchandaue2218]

I did not produce this in a Standard Edition because the Standard Edition of the first version was nowhere near as popular as the collectors edition.

[@zerohourtv256]
