Thanks!!! This looks awesome. If you were to just purchase one ... Which would you choose? First...

Chicken or Egg?

BBBoB is really a far ranging book of effects, history, weird things and coming from people that people have heard of but have never actually heard. And it really was a cooperative effort that took a lot of time to put together considering the individuals involved - from Andruzzi to on and on.

MAM also get various opinions from others who are still around and most people will recognize the names just like in BBoB. But MAM's main theme is HOW you create and build a seance (and the work and pain) and do it right - and on multiple occasions for some of the same audience.

Flip a coin!

The others are darn good. Hidden Things is what I evolved as something to perform in my more "mature" years. It really is a one man show but you still have to follow a lot to of the stuff laid out in MAM.

If you want some off the wall things with a wild story theme, then Traveler's Journal really get crazy.

Slash, Hack & Saw! is really a heck of a book if you want build things. Its DIY stuff and how to watch glue dry!

Very Helpful!!!!! Like my Mystic Seer you've answered a Yes or No question with the best answer ..

He's understating Slash, Hack, & Saw! If you have woodworking skills and tools, the instructions in that book for some excellent props are extremely detailed and well laid out with lots of photos.

I'm partial to MAM, personally. But that may be because I have material in it
