John Carney's Carneycopia by Stephen Minch - Book5John M. DaleJune 21, 2009Everything I've seen or read by John Carney has been excellent and Carneycopia is among his best. John goes beyond most writers and doesn't just explain his magic but actually teaches these routines. While not for the beginner, the routines should be within the abilities of anyone who is willing to put in the necessary practice time. The first chapter of this book should be required reading for anyone who is serious about performing close-up magic.
