SleightfulFake Genius by Steve Cook
Steve Faulkner reviews 'Fake Genius' by Steve Cook, a book packed with mentalism and magic tricks. He starts skeptical but changes his mind after performing tricks like 'Shelling Shuttle' (a coin routine) and 'Influence' (a free-will prediction). The book offers clever methods and strong effects, though many tricks need props or prep. Priced at £95, it's a solid investment for serious magicians. Faulkner even plans separate videos for tricks like 'Diabolical' and 'Symbol'.
