I'm a psychologist with over 30 years experience doing therapy. This has taught me that any harsh judgement, of either oneself or others, reflects a lack of information or a distortion of the truth 100% of the time. And, the best use of our energy is to manifest loving kindness, towards both self and others. Your words at the end, which came across as heartfelt and wise, and which moved me, suggest the same. Thank you (once again).
Thank you David !!!
Got into Magic as a kid at the library, put it away. Lived a crazy life, and settled down. Got back into Magic and with crazy work hours, kids, wife... I can practice for about 13 minutes before I fall asleep. I berate myself daily because of my "lack of commitment"... Your end words could be an entire video topic on their own. Very relevant way to end a video- I have been trying lately to stop the comparison of my efforts to the giants, with small amounts of success.
Thanks again for another great review- this book belongs in everyone's collection.
You're doing great MIKE !!!
Haha this could have been my comment! One of these days, I might be half decent.
Loved your ending comments. Thank you. My guess is that your sentiments are shared by 100s of thousands of people who love magic and keep it as a hobby rather than a profession because of life and its responsibilities that are unique for every individual. Love your book reviews ! Thank you for creating this channel.
Yes! Thank you!
Im also a Musician... Grammy Nominated... and the first Rule that Ive always lived by is NEVER apologize for your craft... let the viewers judge you... but do from your heart!! " If nobody hates you... youre doing it wrong" - Daniel Madison... as long as you play and perform from your heart... you are fulfilling your Art... thank you for saying what you did... alot of people get discouraged that they arent like their heroes... i am guilty of that as well.. but as long as you create Art from your Heart! you are on the right path!
true words
Beautifully said, David! ♥️
:D
Thanks for the review! And thank you for the heartfelt words of encouragement at the end. It's quite telling that "courage" is the root word in encouragement. That's what you have in Spades. See? You are a born cardician after all!
Well said!
Your best video yet. Love the sentiments at the end. Well said and and well done. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Well said - great review and even better advice. More budding magicians need to take that to heart and simply perform. You’ve done this art form a real service!
Thank you kindly!
Love this review. Especially the moment pep talk I so needed it thanks.
You are so welcome!
David
Thanks for the last speech, I really needed to hear that! Suffering from major depression, among other things, life has not been kind to me.
we all go through rough patches - you'll pull through
@@magicorthodoxy
It's been 14 years and only seems to get worse, but I try to keep positive. Without my therapist I likely wouldn't be here.
You are so right about book reviews. I don’t watch many BUT I’m going to start watching more to build up my collection because as you know there’s so much you can get from them
#word
Thank you so much for being you. Heartfelt and brilliantly stated. Thank you
You are so welcome
the last sentences were the most important. and these are absolutely correct. Everyone should find their way. and as Ingo Oschmann says, 99% is presentation and not technology.
thanks Jan !!!
Beautifully stated David regarding your last discussion. Your channel and your reviews are always a credit to both you and the Magic community for those fortunate enough to know of your channel and your reviews. Keep doing what you do best. There are a vast multitude of us within the Magic community who are richer and more knowledgeable because of what you do.
Thank you...👍🏻😃❤️
Much appreciated!
LOVE the epilogue, David!!! (and I'm a knucklebuster) Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks! Will do!
This was actually the first magic book I ever bought! 😂. I knew I liked this Dai Vernon guy, and I also knew it included a copy of the gull text of “The Expert at the Card Table” in it, plus his reflections after years and additional techniques he learned over the years. It’s still one of my favorite magic books and gorgeously laid out. Still trying to get the Ping-Pong Shift down!
awesome !!!
Thanks for the excellent review. I also thank you for your final thoughts on this video. Extremely heartfelt and we all need and appreciate your support! I hope you know that we all support you as well.
Absolutely!
Best video EVER David! Well said at the end!!
!!!! THANK YOU !!!!
@@magicorthodoxy You are welcome. 🙏🏻
Fantastic piece at the end of this review. David you are right about the privileges most of us enjoy, without even realising it. Thank you for the timely reminder! Best wishes Andy
Thank you 😊 Andy
Your words are very encouraging post review. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for your closing comments...!
Thanks Michael !!!
Love your reviews man, and what wise words at the end🙌 thankyou for the reviews you always put out and for encouraging us to raise others up instead of beating them down 🤟
I appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing those last few minutes with us ❤️
My pleasure!!
Nice collection, I love to look and feel of the cover
Me too!
Beautiful book review of the master.👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing. This has been the best review you have done (that I have watched).
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another excellent review. Your ending comments are brilliant
Thank you kindly!
You might not be the best magician, but to me you are the best reviewer. Thanks!!!
Appreciate that
Eloquence indeed, shades of Marcus Aurelius. Amor fati. Love and respect.
ooh so many fancy refrences
I have a similar story. I started actually getting into cards, cardistry, sleights, magic, mentalism 3 years ago when I was around 36, but it's fun to practice and perform here and there when I get the chance, I just shake with nerves lol
I still shake with nerves
I am rounding 70 years. Taught for 25. In retirement I choose magic. I choose it for Joy. Even as a audience of one it makes me smile. Persi Diconis travel with Vennon at 13.
YES!!! YES !!!!
Thanks so much for doing these reviews! I'm sorry the view count is lower, but you can rest assured that those of us watching really appreciate it!
I dont make book reviews for "views" - I do it because I want to raise awareness for books
@@magicorthodoxy Absolutely! I also appreciated your comments after the review, and I can relate. Thanks again.
Great speech at the end. Much respect.
:D
Kind words David. I respect them very much. I got into magic way late and am solely a hobbyist. I will never be great but I enjoy the art form. Thanks for your reviews, Looks like I have two books to add to my shelf :D
Hi Andrew !!!!
@@magicorthodoxy Hi David !!!! Always a pleasure to watch your reviews.
🍻
Ooooh!Luv books!Dai the main man ( Prof!).Who is considered to be the main man/woman now,I wonder!?Who is the great Wizard/Wizardess now?Looks like a corking book as Dai loved “ The expert at the card table!” The red one you showed as well looks awesome!I too am a hobbyist but hey I’m happy!Love anything to do with magic.Great review.You’re ace!Cheers.
Hi Kalvin !!!
Hello David - I was able to purchase Revelation by Dai Vernon recently at a god discount so I'm happy about that since it seems to have received some mixed reviews as you indicated. HOWEVER, your very positive comments at the end of your review are ones I have saved and planned to review them when those voices inside my had tell me "Your are never gong to be able to do a perfect Faro shuffle", or "YOU have been practicing that move for 2 weeks now and you still flash the card". Well I hope you get the point and thanks for the positive comments. ED
Thanks GC !!!
Wow. I have been away from this channel for a while as life got very busy and magic had to take a back seat. What a powerful statement (and great review). The world needs people like you who stand up and speak from the heart. Thank you for all that you do and for being you - in public. Well said David.
Welcome back!
It's unfortunate you even have to address this stuff but I'm glad you did. Keep doing what you do.
I appreciate that
I think you should do the "beow beow beow beow!" Followed by the Elvis Presley "thank you very much" in every video... priceless!!
Great suggestion!
You are the best in what you do, David! Keep the magic alive and kicking!
Thank you! Will do!
amazing, in depth review! thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This was uncanny.. this review came up literally hours before my order of revelation was delivered!!
wow ...spooky
Dai Vernons book of magic was in of my bibles growing up. I did a version of his cups & balls Roy time for A Young Magician Of The Year competition (Scotland) and won. His words and journey was an inspiration as a teenager. I’m not a good at doing magic trick. In fact I’m sub’par at best. But I love the art form and love watching these videos & finding out new tricks & books with new ways to do things.
Magic is more than the secret, it’s an exploration for once self & gives you the courage to speak and to have a voice.
It’s also f****ing cool.
HA HA HA
Wow! What a great review of a classic book. You are the best at what you do David , your review show is my my favourite one. I have this book , it’s beautifully made , and so much great information. Loved your speech at the end , so true and inspirational.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great story, thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
The message at the end is so powerful!! Sounds like my old Sifu's words. Be you! I'm always amazed by how closely magic parallels the thought in well.. really any martial art. The old saying of two to the body and one to the head. The opponent thinks the third shot will go to the body, but the conditioning of their mind leaves an average person's head open.
We as magicians do the same thing. A flustration count showing blue backs. The head shot if that the whole deck was red.
My old Sifu always used to say fight your fight not theirs. Same thing with cards. Make the trick yours.. not just a duplication of a trick. Sure, some tricks are simply amazing. But, think of alternate handlings. I have a bad thumb (which is how I got into magic and it saved my use of said thumb) and I cannot dribble any better than a beginner.. even after a few years of trying. Trying alternates positioning.. the muscles are just not there. So, I'll riffle down the side of the pack.
Magic is a beautiful art, people are the canvas and cards, cups, rope etc are our brushes. Paint your story 👍👍
YES YES YES !!!
Thanks for this review. Glad I watched it untill the end. 👌
Glad it was helpful!
Loved the final comments. I'm better than some and worse than some. I'm sure that's true with you too. We all can always learn something from everyone though.
100% agree
I have this book , and it'is seem to be excellent book, I need time to read , learn and practice. a longer vidéo on it would have be very good, and wonderfull explain in the end of the vidéo to ignore what people could says about you...
it's so good
Just ordered this.
awesome 👍
i think $75 is a steal! for all these amazing add ons...
agreed
Great review. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing review!
:)
Great review and comments. Your book reviews are my favorite. It’s hard to find out if a book is right for you. It’s usually a bigger investment in money and time. Keep on keeping on with the reviews and taking up for us who only do this for fun. We want to be good but don’t have hours a day to devote to it
I totally agree!
Would you ever review Madisons 52, or How to cheat at cards, or his new Devilry??
wish I owned them
Great book review but your advice is….priceless! Well stated pal. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
happy Friday David … I love Jon Dorenbos’ “Life Is Magic” … #agt finalist 14 years in #nfl and an inspirational speaker 👍🏻👍🏻
oh nice
Your "Be You" post script should be a stand alone post.
thank you STEVE
Thanks

I love books!
woo hoo !!!
That is an interesting book and in my opinion books are very important to have as modern technology can fail and no access to downloads.
agreed
Sounds like you are always up to something.
LOL
I appreciate your magic reviews, demons and all. However will continue to keep my exorcist’s phone number on speed dial.
good idea
How true.
:D
thank you for what you do ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Another great upload!
Thanks for the visit
David, you are a good man.
you 2 Peter !!!!
Thanks!
If I ever have a cat 🐈 my cat will be named after Vernon 😍
fun idea
Someday I hope to own Expert at the Card Table. For now, though, I can't say no to this. Now fingers crossed the wife won't murder me for another $75 to Penguin.
remember, this includes a copy of EATCT
@@magicorthodoxy That's exactly why I have bought this. I'd love the original for collector's purposes, but I feel for performance this is even more valuable.
Is the text the same archaic language as expert at the card table? Or is it more modern?
same
I bought this book from the estate of Dean Dill after seeing Aaron Fishers review. It’s a treasured item in my modest magic library (that includes Fisher’s Paper Engine), but one I return to when I’m feeling inspired. This is the best version of EATCT I’ve seen, and it makes it somewhat more accessible, plus you get insights from the Professor himself, the pictures alone are probably worth the price.
Couldn't agree more!
Wow Scott, Dean was a wonderful person. I took private lessons from him, I miss him...Dean was so much more than a magician. You have a great book because of Dean, period.
You can do anything you want to do, but you can’t do everything you want to do.
word
Nice speech but curious? what brought this on?
Can you please suggest me a buch of different types of magic books in your magic library? Because I'm a beginner in magic.
I will do that - look for a new video soon !!!
@@magicorthodoxy sir please because I want a magic library to study the craft of magic as a beginner.And thanks for your reply😊😃
@@karthikchand I have older videos - have you watched those? ua-cam.com/video/6Pg_2D-2ILk/v-deo.html
here is another ua-cam.com/video/Q9htVD9xqtM/v-deo.html
