Magic Book Review - Openers Magic Book
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a glowing review of 'Openers,' a new magic book from Magic Scene Magazine. This isn't your typical cover-to-cover read; instead, it's a fantastic reference guide packed with 40 close-up magic openers contributed by a host of respected magicians. David highlights the book's value, estimating it to be about a dollar per idea, and appreciates its focus on close-up magic, differentiating it from stage or parlor routines. The book features a diverse range of tricks primarily using cards and coins, designed to be quick, visually impactful, and attention-grabbing. David emphasizes the importance of choosing an opener that aligns with your personal style and notes that the book's visuals provide enough information to learn and perform the routines. Overall, he considers 'Openers' a 'great reference' and a 'cool resource' for magicians looking for inspiration, and expresses hope for similar books focusing on other aspects of magic like 'closers.' He also promotes his own 'Magic Reveal T-Shirt' and encourages viewers to explore his Amazon recommendations and Magic Orthodoxy membership for more magic content.
