His book “So You Want to Be an Illusionist” is a “must-read” title in my Recommended Books for Modern Illusionists.
David’s book gives you an overview of his decades of experience as an illusionist. He has owned and worked with many illusions built by top builders.
In this spiral-bound book, he shares his experience and tips on working on these popular marketed illusions but does not reveal exact working methods or construction details. There are also nuggets of information spread out throughout the book.
This is a good book for beginners but I do feel his approach, style and material may be considered a bit dated for today’s contemporary illusionist looking for mainstream relevance. But, with this caveat in mind, this book is still an invaluable resource and a fantastic introduction to popular marketed illusions.
