Normally, I would not use this section to review an act. But sometimes I see something that is worth mentioning.

Last night, I saw the Steve Cohen Chamber Magic show. If you do parlor magic, you should catch this show. He does some classics, and he does them very well. I won't go into exactly what they were, but let me just say this, he captures the crowd right from the start, and he entertains the heck out of them.

The work is excellent. He pays great attention to detail. He comes of as a very nice fellow, which, in fact, he is. If you have a chance to see the show -- do it!

And, if you want to learn how he sells himself to the rich and famous, you can buy his book Win the Crowd at your favorite bookstore. It's worth a read.

No, it's worth a study.
