His Prediction/mind-reading chest is worth 100 times the cost of this book to any professional that will take the time to master it. In between the explanations of the effects, Geoffrey gives you insight into the how and why of things. He tips the real work behind the tricks, not just the secret, but how he arrived at the routine he created. Something so important that many will miss out on the real golden nuggets hidden in this book if they are just looking for effects. Priceless information that many of us would pay a director 1000's of dollars to teach us. All the routines come directly from his entertaining and original close-up shows, T.V., Theatre and Cabaret performances. His streamlined methods and presentations are honed to perfection from thousands of live performances. But this isn't just a book about terrific tricks; Geoffrey shares his innermost thoughts on showmanship, patter, audience handling, rehearsal and much more, in a series of well written essays that aren't so much magical theory but true magical genius. Drawing from his vast experience as a performer in many venues, Geoffrey helps you learn from his mistakes. He sets you on the road to REAL show-business success. Over 240 pages of solid professional material; no fluff or fillers here. Hard bound, beautifully executed with colorful dust jacket. A book to be read over and over again.
