By Forces Unseen

[thanatos]

Is By forces unseen a hard cover book? and do i have to know any certain sleights before hand or do they go into detailed teaching on sleights required or do they require you to know certain sleights before hand? And if there are sleights required to be known/perfected before hand what are they? Thanks guys

it is a hard cover book, and im pretty sure the sleights used are explained as you go along. i dont think you will be needing to know anything before you get the book, although i would not recommend this book to a beginniner since the material in here is quite difficult...

[Infected]

By forces unseen was the first magic book i ever bought. When i opened it i discovered that it wasent for beginners. Its a great book. A bit hard and alot of palming in it.

When I opened it I discovered that it wasn't for beginners.

You like a challenge? I picked up a copy today and if by challenge you mean ripping your eyes out because you cannot perfect claptrap or longtividual swivel steal, yes, there are many "challenges" in there

lol ill try not to rip my eyes out but its expected u cannot perfect new sleights in a day or two. Ill be practicing till i get it smooth. Anyways i got 2 months to get the book down. Its around 1 month till the start of school must start practicing once i get my copy tmr

Two months to get the book down?! I got the book in July and I just finished Proteus...

 

[Sean_Raf]

Mhmm... 2 months is a HUGE underestimation for how long it'll take you to get the book down.

As RM said, he got the book in July and it's taken him 'til now to have finished Proteus. I got the book around Easter time and I've only now gotten to the point with Jack Syna(ce)pses where I'm comfortable with performing it.

However, that is possibly my favourite effect in the book so yeah.

Yes! I just kinda left claptrap out. Now i use the second production from claptrap as a one card production. I LOVE IT

[thanatos]

Oops haha sorry my bad didnt think it would be that sadistic few months to get a trick down argh the agony

 

[Sean_Raf]

It's worth it in the end, some beautiful magic in there.

It was written by Stephen Minch, so obviously the effects are described in painstaking detail. Not one nuance left unnoted. Excellent.
