A few Paul Harris questions

[calledcrazy]

what effects are on art of astonishment and could you give a brief description of some of them?
Which volume(s) of Stars of magic are your favorites?
what are his best products overall?

 

[JJM10]

1. Not sure if you mean Art of Astonishment, or True Astonishments, but I will link to both of them here and here respectively.

2. I only have volume 7 'all stars' but I like it.

3. I am partial to the AoA books, in my opinion they are his best products having not seen the True Astonishments DVDs.

If you can be patient and wait a day or two, I'll write up a full review of the highlights of the Art of Astonishment series. In my opinion, these books have revolutionized close-up magic and consistently changed the way magicians creatively think as performers. There's something awesome for everyone of all skill levels in every volume, so I highly doubt you'll be disappointed with any of the three books. At one point or another in your time in magic, you're going to want/need all three volumes in your library. They're awesome.

RS.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.
There's like a billion tricks in there for only a couple of hundred dollars.
You can either hang around on a computer and buy effects for $30 each, or get better quality effects, explained perfectly, for like a cent each.
Plus, holding the books in your hands is worth the price alone.
These books are the SHIZZLE to the friggin NIZZLE

You will kick yourself for not buying the whole 3 book set. Each book has a whole index in the back and you will end up reading the names of effects in the books you didnt get and it will drive you nuts. If you have to wait and save up then do that, matter of fact do whatever you have to, get all 3 books. You wont regret it.
