Shawn,
Have you ever entertained the idea of putting out a book of you material? Craig

Craig,
Yes, I have considered a book of not just material but anecdotes and essays as well. I have neither the time nor skill to tackle such a project at this time, but will continue to pursue the idea. -shawn |

I hope you do, based on what we've read here it would be an enjoyable read.

Shawn,
based on what I had the pleasure to read over the last few days I can`t second your comment about your lack of skill to tackle a book - your writing style would be a welcome change in tone from much of the material out there. All I can say is thank you very much for the interesting answers you provided, and I hope you will find the time to revolutionize magic literature Especially your idea of including anecdotes and essays will keep me interested, there are plenty of dry books on "the right way to do this move" and "my better version of this". So - keep it coming :-D All the best and again thank you very much for your efforts, Sven ^^

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement ... I'll not give up the goal, just ask for more time to achieve the skills.

If you do a book, can I be your Ghostwriter? That way it will be like I wrote the book, well actually no, it will be that I did write the book for you but you get all the credit as if you did write it. Come to think of it that sounds like a raw deal. But I thought the topic was interesting and that might mean that motown hopefully wins the competition.

Daniel,
Many of the real greats of magic used ghostwriters. Heck Walter B. Gibson ghost wrote for lots of them and even penned the Shadow series as Maxwell Grant. He collected lots of funds and in the end tipped that he was the author and gained all the recognition too ... maybe not such a raw deal. Beside it is an interesting topic and maybe motown will win..lol -shawn |

Shh, I was covertly revealing the secret behind how illiterate people get books published!
