Is it possible that some of magic's most sacred axioms such as "never repeat a trick" and "never tell an audience what you're going to do" may ultimately be responsible for the huge amount of mediocre magic that abounds?

So what has this got to do with the book? May I know?

No follow up here?

I'm also curious about the topic.

Nope.

Mediocre magicians who don't care enough for the craft but are more concerned with ego gratification are responsible for most mediocre magic.

To create awareness of this book

Ok, we're aware of the book now. No point posting something and then MIA for 6 months. Unless you have something significant to add, we're locking this topic.
