Head over to Vanishing Inc. and download "Magic In Mind." Do it now. You have no excuse. Here is an excerpt from the ad copy:

"What if I told you that today we are releasing a book with contributions from Derren Brown, Teller, and Juan Tamariz? How about if the book also included contributions from John Carney, Darwin Ortiz, Tommy Wonder, Pit Hartling, Rene Lavand, Tom Stone, and nearly thirty other magic luminaries? And what if I told you that this collection was entirely free?

I have spent the last three years working on Magic in Mind, which is my gift to all magicians, young and old, who care deeply about magic. I set out to assemble some of the most important, influential, and helpful essays on magic ever written, and make them available to all serious students of magic for free. Coming in at over 500 pages, Magic in Mind is finally ready."

I have spent the last hour reading from this collection of essays. And it is fantastic. You are getting the ideas of some of the greatest thinkers of our craft in one collection, and it won't cost you anything. It is a gift.

Thanks Josh, Andi, and everyone that contributed to this. Now, I need to go find a comfy armchair to hole up with my laptop.

This is an amzing collection of essays! 500+ pages, and provided at no cost to the reader. Incredible effort and gesture!

WOW , just downloaded this, I thought cant be much good if its free, WRONG, the Little I have read so far is great.

Just downloaded this ... Oh my, this is for free!

There are some great classic essays in here, in fact it may become truly essential reading for anyone interested in the art. When I downloaded it and saw how big it was I was shocked, and when I looked at the table of contents I thought, "wow, all in one place."

It is free, wow.

This has made my Essential Resource List for Beginner Magicians - great reading: substantial, broad, stimulating, provocative and intelligent. Someone experienced should do a full review ...

I just got this. I have not read it yet, but it looks like it will be very insightful.

I've read a few of the essays and so far it's been incredible . For the low, low price of free it'd be crazy to not get it!

This is a great collection of essays. I love it.

This is another example of the extreme generosity of people in the high end of the magical fraternity. Josh says this book was a pet project for three years, and the material here is simply top flight, from some of the best thinkers about magic: Penn; Robert Houdin; Tommy Wonder; Juan Tamiriz. It's almost 600 pages! That's a lot of work, and Josh has given it as a gift to people who are serious about magic. This is a tremendous resource, one I was holding my breath waiting for so I could BUY it for Crissakes! For MONEY! All I can say is Wow!

My hat is off and I bow deeply to Joshua Jay for putting this material in our hands as a gift.

I haven't looked through it thoroughly yet, but it looks fantastic!

Amazing!
Great read and it´s free.

I've started reading this, but not even close to completing. It's a lot to read, but so far, it's been inspiring. Many thanks to Vanishing, Inc. for making this available for the low, low price of free! Many of the authors have been on my wishlist for some time, and now I get to sample what they have to say about magic theory. Such a great idea. Everyone needs to read this!

There's nothing more magical and incredible than clicking the mouse button and getting these 555 pages instantly and for free.

Ive read the first 60 pages just tonight. That tiny fraction of the book is full of thought provoking material.

Did we mention, IT'S FREE!

Yes, it's an unexpected and rare gift from Josh and Andi, which summarizes nearly all magic theory, both for beginners and advanced magicians. Amazing articles from the greatest magical minds and from carefully selected sources. A real treasure. Thanks guys!

We don't get many freebies in magic, magic is an expensive hobby for most. This free ebook is really great. A great read. Thank you to Vanishing Inc. greig

So many times you hear that someone is releasing a new effect or book as "a way of giving back to the art". But there's a catch - they're not really "giving" - there's a price tag on it. This free download is truly what it means to be "giving back to the art".

I for one, appreciate this very much and have been enjoying what I've read so far.

Thank-you.

This was so good, I decided to print out a copy to bind. That way I can write notes or highlight important passages. Can't believe this was free.

Amazing ebook. It's unbelieveble it's free. Tons of wise writings to learn from....

I've downloaded and read the entire thing with delight and grateful thanks to and for Joshua Jay. What a fantastic compilation. I'm so grateful for his vision and thoughtfulness. I sincerely hope it will be read far and wide by anyone who wishes to astonish.
