... now that I have got my copy :)
A massive book that is jam packed with all kinds of stuff. Where else can you find signwriting tips, juggling tricks and the inside scoop on how grifters work, all under one cover?
It is now my bedside reading - every night I open it at random and start following the cross references to see where it takes me.
The only problem (as per the title of this review) is that I would really prefer it if no-one else knew the tricks!

This is quality! Absolutely love reading it.
Sometimes I just sit there for ages looking at what it has to offer, and still find new things.
It's very well written, and has helpful diagrams if you are interested in learning how to do some of the stuff in the book, from the basic bisecting an angle, to the rather outrageous lion taming (not something I can say works yet, haven't tried it). It's a hefty book, but it does look nice as well.
Great for showing off the odd 'trick' or just a toilet read.
