I read this book years ago. I'm going to give it another read this week. Thanks for the reminding.
You bet - I read this one almost annually 👍
I purchased this book a year ago and only read a few chapters full of great actionable ideas but I need to go back to finish it after watching your review. Becoming the director and producer of your own show is critical. Thanks again for a great review.
You bet - thanks for watching, Nancy! 😃
This was exactly the video I needed to see. I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed as I was thinking about how to put together a stand-up show for the first time. I read this book a while ago but you reminded me of how much great practical knowledge there is in this book. I will be revisiting its pages!
Woohoo - I always love to hear that people are revisiting books on their shelves!
This is such a great book. The dos and the don'ts. Great Review! THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL SERIOUS MAGICIANS but don't take my word for it! duh nuh duh
It really *is* a great book!!
This book has been on my To-Buy List for a while. But everytime I get the chance to buy a book, I end up buying a magic trick book. haha. i love theory books, read Strong Magic and loved it.
You definitely need to move this one up on the priority list, especially if you already like books like this one. It's one of the best!!
Definitely will!
great video!!!
Thank you! It's a great book - do you already own a version?
@@EruditeMagic no, but i want so!
Great review! I just ordered one from Vanishing Inc. I'm not sure how I feel about audio magic books though. I might buy that version sometime just to give it a try. I have seen other reviews about this book, but they didn't portray the concept of what it's all about like you did. It's almost like you read it before doing the review....LOL. Thanks again!
Ha, thanks - hope you love it as much as I do! 😃
I really dislike audiobooks, the main reason I prefer books over videos is because reading is an active engagement, where just watching/listening is far too easy to fall into merely passive.
You've been on quite an Erudite binge today‼️ Thanks for taking time to watch and engage 🙏
@@EruditeMagic Indeed I have, I subscribed a little while back, this is the first chance I've had for a propper deep dive into the channel though, and I've not even commented on most of the videos I've watched LOL
😁 - just glad people are watching, reading, and thinking. Thanks again 👍
@@EruditeMagic Keep an eye on your email in the next day or two.
What do you got for showmanship and presentation
Magic and Showmanship is a classic, as is Mastering the Art of Magic
Best philosophy Magic book about PHILOSOPHY?? Something that will truly make me grateful about being able to share Magic, and empowered as a Magician. ???
Maximum Entertainment was ok imo...
What kept it from being great, in your opinion?
Good question about a book that makes you feel empowered as a magician - I'll get back to you on that
@@EruditeMagic Robert Neale book reccomendation?
After giving it some thought, 2 books come to mind: "Mastering the Art of Magic" by Eugene Burger and "The Death Camp Magicians." They're 2 *completely* different books, but they both inspire me as a magician for different reasons.
Mastering the Art of Magic has a bunch of wonderful tricks, but interspersed throughout are some incredible essays on the art of magic that will definitely help you feel empowered as a magician.
The Death Camp Magicians shares no magic methods, but instead will make you proud of how magic can help ignite the imagination through a powerful story of survival and forgiveness.
I hope you'll check out both - great question!
I have read this book two times in a row. I am thinking also buying Perform Better Shows from Tim Hannig. Is that also a must buy or is Maximum Entertainment enough? For me it costs €140,- to buy Perform Better Shows because of the shipping costs.
I'm glad to hear he writes on stage etiquette etc. As someone who books entertainment and is very involved with my acts, there's nothing more annoying than someone with terrible mic technique or zero knowledge of the things they need to be in control of in their presentation.
You should check it out - the book is thick with wisdom. I go back to it all the time!
