Fascinating,
By A Customer
This review is from: SSOTBME Revised: An Essay on Magic (Paperback)
A thoughtful and interesting read. Don't buy this looking for methods of magic(k)al working, instead it serves as an excellent discussion of the issues and ideas floating around in this area. For myself, I'm not quite convinced of the value of the RAMS "compass" presented here, but it's interesting enough. The problem (recognised) in such tools is that they are too approximate. This is a faint quibble. Overall, I'd happily suggest you buy it.

Look, this book is sheer genius,
By Dr Enoch "Dr Enoch" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SSOTBME Revised: An Essay on Magic (Paperback)
I appreciate that most folk on this page are either
(a) a pre-existing fan of Ramsey Dukes or (b) have been directed to this book by a concerned friend or relative and therefore need no extra-curricula encouragement to buy this book HOWEVER if you the reader do not fall into these categories, then please consider buying this. This book is quite extraordinary. It requires reading from start to finish, during that period, you, the reader will experience something peculiar. When you try and go back into the book to find out exactly where or when that happened, you will be unsuccessful. This book is the encapsulated version of the magic shop in the cul-de-sac that vanishes before your second visit. It describes something indescribable without ever articulating it. It presents you with a series of concise, philosophical essays that inculcate a powerful impression...in an entirely different sense modality from that utilised in the reading! The book itself is a well crafted piece of magic. Buy it, it's about ten pounds (about three pints and a bus fare)...and will get you further than that Ho Ho Ho
