Hi Richard, a young friend of mine is going to Magic Live and I asked him to pick up a copy of this book for me. I hope he doesn't forget. I know it's too much to ask but in case he forgets to ask you to sign it for me, would you do it? His name is Pablo and the autograph would be to Luis.

Thanks!

How am I supposed to remember that?

Richard,

I just placed an order through Paypal, would it be possible for you to sign my copy since I won't be able to make it out to Magic Live? I also put in the request on the Paypal comments section but just in case you didn't see it.

Thanks!

Edit: Got your reply in an email from my purchase, so you can ignore this message. Thanks.

Richard, my friend met you and bought the book for me and Thanks for the Autograph... I have plenty of your books and this one will be the first one I have with your signature. Can't wait for him to come back and lay my hands on this book.... And learn some more MAGIC!!

Just found my copy on the front porch. Looks like my lawn is gonna have to wait.

Hope you like it!

The book just arrived in Tampa Florida. Thanks for the quick shipping. Thanks for continuing to turn out great magic books.

Got home from work and the book was waiting for me. Last night was a cigar and Japan Ingenious. What a great book (cigar wasn't bad either). Richard, Steve thank you.

Thank you.

Damn Richard, I spent a whole weekend with you but the whole time I was demonstrating. But I just got a chance to look at this book. This is just full of good stuff! Ok, I am impressed.

Rose says Hi.

Finally laid my hands on this book last night... I'm going to go and start reading it right now (just got back from work)... Thanks Richard for the Autograph... (a friend got it for me in MAGIC Live)...

This is a really, really interesting book. I have been slowly sipping from it, reading just one or two tricks a day, trying to make it last. I love the diversity of effects. Coins, cards, matches, ribbons, chopsticks, rope, rubber bands, straws, rings, business cards, card boxes, silks, etc., etc.. You could construct an entire close up act with this book. The illustrations are clean and concise and the written instructions are easy to follow. Well done Richard. You are still at the top of your game when it comes to publishing quality books (future classics) at affordable prices.

Thanks, Jim. Glad you're enjoying it.

This is easily my favorite out of the various Japanese magic books that Richard has published. My only caveat is that it doesn't come with a proper, full dustcover, which makes the book more difficult to protect with brodart wrapping.

Thanks, Chris.
You'd be very frustrated if you lived in Japan because partial dustjackets are commonplace.
But enjoy the contents!

I wonder why that is? Perhaps they see the dust jacket as more ornamental than practical.

Indeed--it is a decorative object.

Received mine yesterday. This is going to be one of my all-time favourite books. Even if I never actually do most of the material, the incredible thinking behind it is wonderful to contemplate.
