Mr. Schiffman writes an interesting book but has a tendency to get a little side-tracked. His observations on brainwashing, advertising, marketing, and the camouflaging of the Lockheed plant during WW2 were interesting, but not why I bought the book. If he would have not strayed as far from the title, I would have enjoyed it more. The author also has a minor tendency to go into great detail where it is not required and to glance over other really interesting subjects. The book contains a detailed bibliography and glossary that make a good reference.
Breaking the magician's code, but doing a thorough job of it

I like this book. If you are curious about how magic is performed, how to become a magician, and various other aspects of magic, this one won't disappoint.
Great Book
