I recieved this book today with interest in getting into performing at local venues and bars.
This book has some great routines! Some of which include a brilliant coin bending routine by Mike, as well as a cigarette routine that I believe to be both comical, strong, and just down right entertaining. The chop cup routine I also find to be a great effect for both bar work and for table hopping. It uses a coffee cup and a creamers. I will use several of these routines in my strolling and table hopping act. Thanks Todd and Mike for making such an awesome book! Sincerly -Jared PS you can find the link to the books here.

Thank you so much for your review, It was a great pleasure to put this out to the magic frat. I have to admit that Mike's coin routine is now one of my favorite bending coin routines as well. And I have used it for a while now with great results. If anyone here has any questions in regard to the book or needs to know were to order it please feel free to contact me or Mike (Cafe user name = Mike Wild).
Thanks and happy drinking Tpdmagic |

Let us first concentrate on the technical and quality aspects of this Book.
1 - The Layout is superb (for which I thank the Good Lord, because many pdfs and manuscripts nowadays are TERRIBLY made). 2 - The picture quality is GREAT (even though you have to see Todd's and Mike's faces). Bright colors, crisp quality, and high DPI. Great. Overall, the quality is one of the best that I have seen in manuscript and .pdf format. Now, lets move onto the meat. To describe the routines and material in a few words: Unique, Innovative, Audience Tested, Humorous (one of the most important requirements for me). The introductions by both Authors give us a look into the world of Bar Magic. It also gives us some great advice when performing in that field. Mike's "Nummus Incurvus" is a great coin bending routine. Todd, also included his own coin bending routine IN THE SAME BOOK (two view points, two different (but great) routines). Their IT work is amazing. I have never been into IT work, but after reading these guy's innovative techniques and routines, it made me want to get back into the IT world. Now, a very special effect in this manuscript is Todd Diamond's "Two Cigarettes Having Sex." This is a great, humourous, and adult routine. Todd even mentions that this routine was inspired by the late Chappy Brazil. Bar Magic manuscripts and dvds are comparitively rare, and finally we have two experienced bar magicians collaborating their efforts and sharing some original bar magic ideas. People, you need this. I would recommend getting the physical manuscript, but the .PDF is also great Quality (and a little bit cheaper).
