'This eBook contains everything I felt I should do, but never did. I have read the book and within 1 week of following it have noticeably improved'. - Ed Thurlow
'I think this is a really great e-book, lots of very useful information and suggestions - I definitely have to implement some of these strategies. Hard to pick a favourite, but I think a great idea for me is "choice is your enemy when it comes to getting things done" - something I really need to keep in mind!' - Dan Pearman
'This is what I have needed for so long, and the book is full of very wise and useful information thank you 5 out of 5' - David Phillips
'You captured perfectly what “I am” vis-à-vis magic. And your advice on what to do in many circumstances is priceless. Your book is gold. It made me re-think what I am doing, why I love card magic, and plan out a better way to enjoy it.' - Barrett Sweet
'Approaching Magic Practice was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Thank you!!!' - Simon Cottingham
'I've attended a few of your training sessions and always found them useful. Having everything spelled out clearly for me in a book is a great help.' - Damien Wilson.

No Earth-shattering revelations here, but still well worth a read for anybody wanting to improve their practice sessions.
