Can't wait to receive my copy! One thing I don't like though is that the book is still available for the same price as the pre-order. Oh well, doesn't hurt me and will benefit others, so what am I complaining about

Magic books are getting expensive. I remember buying Kaufman's Greater Magic reprint for $60. Roth's Coin Magic was $50 I think and the Vernon Chronicles were $30 a piece. It does look great though and I just placed my order. Asi's material is top notch!

Keep in mind that you have had inflation as well - e.g. a $50 book in 1985 (Roth's book) would be ~$120 today using CPI. So not sure when those prices are from, but I've heard many people talk about how books get more expensive without taking inflation into account

Would anyone recommend this book for a beginner or would you need to know a lot of stuff to perform these effects?

It IS a big jump - but that's the thing about compounding that most people don't get - small changes in rates yield large changes long-term. Consider that the average historical inflation rate from the time they started tracking it in 1913 to 2013 was ~3.22%, the old Fed target for inflation was 2.5%, and the newer target that we're approaching is now 2%. Using the rule of 72 to approximate, at 3.22% it takes just ~22 years to double (72/3.22=~22), at 2.5% it's ~29, and at 2% it's ~36. So from 1990-2018, that's 28 years, and based on historical averages, it'd more than double. You can check a relevant CPI calculator and note that $50 in 1990 would be $98.33 today. Reprints I've seen have been around $70, although I've seen it discounted to around $50 at the cheapest. That said, it's an older book, so it isn't surprising to see it selling for ~30-50% less today when inflation-adjusted than when it was published back in 1985. Just goes to show how the anchoring effect of dollar prices affects how we perceive cost - we tend to be biased and focus too much on absolute dollar cost rather than purchasing power. This is true not only for magic books, but for basically any product we purchase, as well as the value of investments and other assets.

It was pre-order so the time the order was placed probably doesn't matter all that much. Shipments should go out pretty much all at once, depending on how many there were.

Just received mine and was overwhelmed by the superbe quality of production, the hand coloured illustrations, and felt how much labour of love must have gone into this outstanding work.
Now I am looking forward to many joyful hours of rehearsing and performing of this surely formidable effects. Thank you Asi |

Got it yesterday or the day before. It's beautiful, but I haven't had time to read it and probably won't for some time. Love the illustrations.

I am curious about the new touches on Double Exposure. Can someone who already got this chime in and tell a little bit about it?

Got mine a few days ago. Fantastic, builds on a lot of material taught in hislecture and masterclass.
Still working through the book, but as others have said, it looks fantastic and is well written. |
