Session: The Magic of Joel Givens - Joshua Jay (used)

NOTE from Don: I learned the routine, "More Memory Man" from Joel's book.  This one routine absolutely blows people away.

This book is geared toward magicians (sorry normal people) and details the magic of an incredible talent: Joel Givens. He's also a longtime friend. - Joshua Jay 

We bucked all the trends and did something very different. You see, for nearly five hundred years, magic has been conveyed "recipe style" in books. Tricks are a list of materials and steps to follow. But can a magic book tell a story?

Session is my answer. It's not for everyone, and I'm sure there will be readers who can't be bothered with plot and context. But for those who have always wanted to curl up with a magic book and just read, I think Session will be a welcome addition.

Each trick is set within a scene-protagonists, antagonists, hecklers, and a cute waitress-it's all here, and it's all explained.
