Jim Sisti’s words always inspire. If you’re an amateur magician looking to turn pro or a professional looking to improve your business, you need to read this book. When I first started performing professionally, I wished I had access to the advice Jim shared in the book. It would have saved me a lot of frustration and speeded up the learning curve to becoming a professional magician. Highly Recommended!

I have all of the Magic Menu books and have enjoyed them a lot and gotten lots of valuable information and effects from them.

So when I discovered a new book by the author I jump on it right away.

Unfortunately, this new book failed to deliver any value at all.

Most of his “advice” is basic, shallow, and mostly abvious and unoriginal for any one who has been around magic and performing and has read any of the other books on the subject.
