A long shot, but has anyone managed to finish the book yet?

Mark

Not yet. I'm spending quality time with it. Reading parts and then reflecting on them.

BTW, I read the chapter you recommended.

Cunning stunt! 😳

Is it still living up to your initial impressions?

Mark

No, it's not living up to my initial impressions.

It's far exceeded my initial impressions. 😀

I received the following review from Michael Dear who is not a member of the Café.

Rarely is a mentalism book a true pleasure to read. Harpacrown Too, however, definitely fits the bill. I was unsure how Harpacrown Too would measure up to Mark’s previous releases, Harpacrown and Free Will, which were each hits in their own right. Harpacrown Too took it to another level! Over four hundred pages of clever thinking spanning over clever effects taught in great detail, utilities that have many uses, essays on being a better mentalist and creating a better act, as well as some great material shared by some of the best modern mentalists, all written in Mark’s laid back, humorous, and engaging style. This book is sure to be appreciated by anyone in the field of mentalism.

I received mine (in Australia) today Very excited to start reading.....

Glad it arrived safely. I think pretty much all of the orders have now been delivered. Hopefully some reviews will be posted soon. I know some people prefer to wait for reviews before a big purchase.

Other than Doric anyone read this yet? Or is everyone waiting for Santa to put it under the tree?

I have read 6 absolutely exceptional chapters , 1 in the wrong order but that was Marks fault as he teased me with one further on in the book so I jumped ahead . Being now stuck in Tier 4 over Christmas I have the time to finish the rest and I am really looking forward to it . There’s a plus side to nearly every situation in life and with it being packed with so much content I like to read things thoroughly and try things out as I go through the chapters . I highly recommended this it should be on everyone’s Christmas list imho , best wishes Gaz 😊

Surely there must be more owners willing to post their thoughts here?

I don't usually write reviews but since you ask...

This book is much, much better than the original HarpaCrown.

And HarpaCrown was brilliant.

So if you liked that... then you should own this. It's one of those rare books that I wish I didn't own, just so I could buy it again and experience reading it afresh. For me, books like 'Simply Simon' and 'CardShark' are in this class. Not many others.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jamie that’s very high praise.

I have now sold out of the original Harpacrown Collectors Edition. It may still be available from other dealers for a while but not long as Murphy’s only have 6 in stock. I have about 20 standard editions left.

Mark

Just to clarify my last post. It is the first Harpacrown Collectors Edition (the blue one) that has sold out. I still have stock of the new Harpacrown Too Collector’s Edition.

Mark

Has anyone else read enough of the book to post an opinion yet? I take the lack of reviews as a good sign because people tend to be very quick to post when they don’t like something. It would still be nice to see some views from people that have actually bought the book as these are the opinions that carry the most weight as opposed to the review channels and friends of the creator.

Mark

I got my book yesterday and am forcing myself to read it slowly. But already my experience has been good because I ordered it only a few days ago and it arrived very quickly, Also the book itself is very beautiful. The first chapter on scripting was very good and I already learned something I will use re capturing additional information during a toxic force. So far so great,

I have another small print run of the original Harpacrown Collector’s Edition arriving in about 2 weeks time so if you missed out on it you will have another chance. It is unlikely that I will do another print run.

Mark

My new stock of the original Collectors Edition will be arriving next Monday. Meanwhile has anyone finished Harpacrown Too? Reviews are still pretty thin on the ground.
