I have often found a lot of value in well-written book summaries, such as the ones from Litter Books<\/a>. They are concise, easy references that help with active recall. Unfortunately, few summaries are ever written for magic-related publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. These notes \/ summaries do not replace the book. If you look through the note and enjoy the ideas, please go read the whole book. It gives more context and meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. As these would be available in a public domain, the focus would mostly be on Magic Theory instead of Magic Methods \/ Secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main intent of these would be for performers and entertainers to gain short and inspiring insights to these wonderful publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Matthew has left performing as a professional magician and gone into acting full time, not many may know or remember him as a brilliant worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s difficult for me to put into words where he shines so do to take the time to watch some of his promo reel to get an idea of why his material are worth looking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
