"Jamie D. Grant writes with wit, intelligence and brevity – a rare trifecta. In this book he spills essential information that every walk-around performer needs to know. Sure, you already know some of this, but you don’t know it all. And that makes this a required investment in your performing career.." ~Ken Weber, author of Maximum Entertainment.

"If you've been doing walk-around forever or just bought an invisible deck yesterday - The Approach is the best investment you can make. Jamie's covered EVERYTHING based on self-actualized innovation as a worker in the trenches. Two thumb tips up and a Sanada gimmick high five!" ~Bill Abbott, 2012 Canadian Magician of the Year.

"If I only had this and the Tarbell course, my magic career would be in great hands..." ~John H

"This is the book that every magician needs in their library . . . even seasoned pros (who will either just confirm what they already know, or if they're like me, manage to learn something new that hadn't occurred to them before). In a short amount of time, I'll be able to tell which performers have read this book, and those who haven't, just by the merits of their performance. Thank you, Jamie, for sharing this "gift of wonder" with the magic fraternity. I will look forward to seeing the majestic garden that will result from the seeds you have planted." ~Philemon Vanderbeck

"Invaluable information for the working magician. This is definitely one of the best buys I've purchased in my 24 years in magic." ~J.M.

"P*ss*d that I didn't have this back in the day." ~Steve Valentine, Two-time Magic Castle Close-Up Magician of the Year
