John Carney a very thoughtful performer and it shows in this book.

covers a wide variety of topics and good detail, and for the price i would recommend all performers at the least have a look around at it.

the one thing i would say is to not take everything you read as set in stone, let it open your eyes to new paths and then walk down them yourself, it comes with practice and going in the trenches as an actual "worker"

The best written book I have ever read! Nothing is left out! John Carney is a master, he has it all he knows everything anybody else know but he knows it all so much better and puts it together so well! Everything from misdirection patter and just everything. This book I recommend to EVERYONE! Seriously I usually don't say this but its far too cheap at only $25. Just go buy it now!
