PRAISE FROM THE PROS:
Eric Eswin, Honorary President of FISM: "I bought The Show Doctor a while ago and have just started reading it. M-A-R-V-E-L-O-U-S! Congratulations! It should be mandatory reading for magicians before they do any public performance."
Bob Fitch: "Have you ever felt that rush of. . .excitement when you figured out how a trick was done or when something that has eluded you for a long time, suddenly, in a moment, became absolutely clear? The light bulb effect! Of course you have. Well, you'll get that effect many times when you look through the pages of this now-classic tome. Don't put it on your shelf, put it IN your hands."
Lance Burton: "If you only read one magic book this year, make it The Show Doctor."
Mac King: "I truly believe that Jeff McBride is the best guide to improving your magic show in the world today."
Kevin James: "Jeff's book is pure gold. If you are looking for inspiration on how to be more creative and a better performer, look no further."
Ken Weber (author of Maximum Entertainment): "Some magicians have asked me if I was going to write a sequel to my one and only book. In many ways I truly feel that sequel is what you are holding in your hands right now."
Eugene Burger: "In the twenty years I have worked closely with Jeff McBride, I have seen him inspire and transform the performances of countless magicians. He is a master teacher of magic."
Max Maven: "A couple of thousand years ago, the Roman philosopher Seneca said, 'People pay the doctor for his trouble; for his kindness they still remain in his debt.' Which is why we all owe a debt to the Show Doctor. You can start to repay that by buying this book. It will make your magic more healthy."
