this is an excellent book. it is fairly short - but also direct and to the point if you work with the radar deck, or do the radar deck effect with Richards Dynamo deck - then this is required reading, it also includes was please to see the material covering the star sign revolution included. For me the best part where chapters seven and eight - which are another two of Richards excellent and to the point essays covering the art of mentalism - at some point I hope all these essays get collected in one place - becasue its possible that some of them will get over looked.. the world of mentalism has become more and more full of dead ends and blind alleys - Richards material stands out for its straight ahead, real world, no nonsense approach, I constantly use Richards effects and material and keep going back it again and again and again.
