Mindfreak: Revelations of a Dissapointed Reviewer!
|
Waited for this on pre-order with excitement only to be let down by the book content: no I was not expecting a book of secrets either!
Much hype surrounds Criss Angel and his Rock/Blaine mix style of extraordinary illusions, unfortunately the book does not really carry this feel; instead the pages are constantly scattered with comments of self praise, suffering and the almost constant need to state how dangerous or difficult a particular situation was for him.
The overall feeling is that the "secret revelations from the master of surreality" is book that demonstrates many insecurities in the life of the artist and the love for his family , to be honest not a lot else I'm afraid.
The last section of the book provides the reader opportunities to learn a few magic tricks. A few words of warning, if you are buying this book to learn Criss Angel's secrets or to be able to perform like him with the tricks revealed in the book you will be more than dissapointed. The tricks demonstrated require minimal skill and are aimed at early beginners in conjuring, most of the secrets are already widely known and easily available within the many conjuring and magic books available, at less cost.
If you are just buying the book for the addition to your library on magic or like a book that you can walk away from then return to at a later date then I'm sure you will gain some enjoyment.
