What would be the best book(s) to study to develop a two handed Second Sight act?

Thanks in advance.

Leo Benhke's book Cues: Variations of the Second Sight Act is good.
Effect and method are inextricably linked.

Thanks katterfelt0!

Based on the TOC, this looks like the perfect book. (Plus, I love me a Behnke book).

I also found this and dusted off my copy of Thirteen Steps.

Bob Loomis has written some really useful books. Along with the one you listed, I also really like this one.

Just received my copy of Cues.

It's perfect: concise, yet fully informative with plenty of references to further study - just what I would expect from Mr. Behnke. I can't imagine a better intro to Second Sight.

Thanks again katterfelt0!
