This is not a book of guesses, I'll readily admit that: the author truly does have access to inside information. Also, I'm not comfortable with the threats you make. I don't like it either, but I have to acknowledge that this is exactly what investigative journalists do by trade. Yes, it could have been edited better, but it's still not as error-ridden as 3510!!

The writing is so bad as to render the book unreadable. The author acknowledges an "editor." To anyone who's tried to read the book, that's laughable.

I'm a proofreader myself, I immediately notice errors and they do annoy me. But I wouldn't say they made this particular book unreadable - just irritating.

Wow, after reading this I have to say that Sidney Piddington was really a genius. While individually none of the methods were truly unexpected, the combinations thereof and excellent use of ongoing logical disconnects was very masterful.
I do not feel disappointed at all after learning the secrets, more just impressed with the finesse with which this all was pulled off. Certainly there is a some amount of debating the fact that these secrets finally were revealed after all this time, but I personally find the book very inspiring. Not that I would use these methods per se, but to approach performing in such a way that leaves everyone mystified and to create truly baffling effects with old school methods.
