Thank you for the info!

@Magic Orthodoxy great reviews! I also see you have the 3 Banachek books in your collection. I read the first one. Are the next 2 pretty similar?

I just ordered a JK Hartman book on behalf of a recommendation. I haven't started reading it yet but I did a little research on the web and I can't find a thing about JK Hartman! Not a picture. Not a bio. Nothing! Like, is he still personally writing books or did he exist a long time ago and...

Haha

I don't have the book in front of me but I believe the most recent effect I struggled with was called "Just One Move". I've finally found a handling that works fore me but there was a time for sure when he said to have "a break under the bottom 2 cards". Kind of hard to have a break below the...

@MohanaMisra yeah, they totally did. Thank you!

Just yesterday I actually messed up the BrainWave Deck trick. I didn't think it was possible to screw that one up! They said 8C and I miscounted pulled the 7C. I stood there in shock for a millisecond or two... I tried to recover though. I said, "I'm close but alas this is not your card, hold on...

@Scodischarge question for you. I'm 100 pages into Pure Imagination. Did you find any of the descriptions hard to follow? There's a few that I was completely lost and had to re-read several times, some times still not getting it completely. Some times I just felt like important parts of the...

One hand top palm.

I can't find the essay but I've had it paraphrased to me a few times so I think I know the jist. I'm personally too compulsive, yet. I still have a lot to learn so my purchases have been well thought out and thoroughly exhausted. I take pretty extensive notes on everything I read and retain a...

@MohanaMisra oh for sure! The books I've read in the last 6 months alone would keep me occupied for a lifetime. But I'm always reading and looking for more, more, more.

@PGoutis01 have you read David Regal's newest book? Probably not considered super advanced but some of the effects are so clever, I can't imagine anyone not loving it.

@Scodischarge , yes thank you. I was just told that my wife bought me 4 books for Father's Day... Pure Imagination, Blomberg Laboratories, Aretology, & 52 Memories. Looks like I'm set! Just need to decide which one to read first now!

@PGoutis01 not yet but it's on my Wishlist. I thought my culls were great but I was just filming myself and I have a lot of work that needs to be done! So I'm definitely interested in that book.

Thank you very much for the detailed response!

@RealityOne As a huge Principia fan, which of those books listed would you say is the closest thing to it? Blomberg, Pure Imagination, Marlo, or So Sato?

I loved Principia and Pure Imagination and Bloomberg Laboratories are on my list. I think that means I'm going to add the Marlo book and the So Sato book to my list as well. RealityOne, if you don't mind me asking, how do these books compare to Principia as far as technical standpoint? Are they...

Interpreting Magic - David Regal is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's huge! and hits hard.
