The thickness of a magic book doesn't make it great. Neither does a flashy cover, nor a fancy trailer. The best magic books are the culmination of a lifetime of knowledge and refinement.
We got a few pieces of Artful Deceptions by Allan Zola Kronzek:
94 pages, 9 tricks and unlimited Possibilities...
Allan Kronzek has spent his life developing the card material in this book. Every single effect has been painstakingly worked through for maximum impact. Read a spectator's mind, help measure the compatibility of a couple, and learn Allan's perfect card opener. It's all here... in Artful Deceptions.
