I have to let you know as a personal friend of Jimmy's we have discussed many things over hours and days of visits, so I never really thought that I stood to learn much from reading his book "Lure With Spectacle". I picked up a copy this past weekend and boy was I wrong! His book is pure gold!
He shares things in the book that I would not feel comfortable sharing, such as getting roughed up on the pitch, getting kicked out of hostels etc....talk about some real humility! Jamie Grant is spot on! This guy is a gift to humanity and a true credit to our craft. It is also a real pleasure to know that he and I both look up to another Jamie O'Hara from Las Cruces, New Mexico, with the same fondness and affinity! I predict that "To Lure With Spectacle" will be revered by buskers long after Jimmy hangs up his hat for the last time. His students around the worlde and this book will serve as a lasting legacy. I have learned so much from reading the thoughts of Jimmy and it makes me sad, that I lost touch with him during the time, that he was not only going through this, but also writing it down. I'm elated to be in touch with my little Brother Jimmy once again! If you want to own your own copy go to http://www.leapinglizardsmagic.com or better yet, get in touch with the man himself here, for a personally signed copy. Louie and Lydia at Leaping Lizards Magic now offer it as a PDF Download Version Respectfully submitted, Devious p.s. Jimmy has graciously allowed me to share some of the thoughts from the book here: Free Preview |

The thing about Jimmy is that he takes you to a whole 'nother place. I think part of it is the tone and rhythm of his voice. I was transported back into a time when life was simpler and more pure. Gone were the thoughts of e-mail and phone calls. Instead, we were all standing underneath a shady tree and watching a man make a wooden stick disappear before our very eyes. It still ranks as one of the greatest magical experiences of my life- but I think you really had to have been there. I hope all of you have the pleasure of seeing Jimmy in person one day and experience that royal touch.

Agreed...Jimmy's book is an incredible reference....He says it is a Street Magician's manual and that it is. The information contained is stuff hard earned on the street. Get it Get it get it...and if you ever have the chance to see Jimmy work...or lecture...DO NOT PASS IT UP.
