What people are saying about The Definitive Sanki Reprint

EruditeMagic says...
The definitive sanki reprint it's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since these came back into print but if you've been into Magic books for any period longer than a few years you know how sought after these were after they went out of print [...] they aren't cheap but I think for what you're getting it's probably a bargain.

2024 Magic Book Rankings

This video offers a candid rundown of the creator's top and bottom five magic books from 2024. Highlights include 'The Particle System' for simplifying memorized deck magic, 'Switch' for its innovative bill transformations, 'The Nth Degree' for its practical walkaround tricks, 'Worlds Beyond' for reviving Paul Curry's classics, and 'The Definitive Sanki Reprint' for its exhaustive look at J Sanki's magic. On the flip side, the creator points out shortcomings in 'Diamonds of Performance' for being too theory-heavy, 'Magic Between Friends' for not justifying its price, 'The Magic of Johnny Thompson' for falling short of hype, 'A Floren Spun' for its narrow focus, and 'You Are All Terrible' for its excessive profanity and lackluster humor. The review is balanced, acknowledging each book's merits while explaining the rankings. Plus, there's a plug for Don's Magic & Books as a go-to for rare magic book finds.
