Kaufman has intentions to reprint the book this year I believe. So don't go and eBay it.

Not really practical. Save the money. Don't buy it.

Friend, he is asking for review. Maybe he is getting it from a friend in SMC, not from ebay. :)
Anyway, in Five Times Five Japan, I heard its a good book to have. Considering its limited edition also, but the routines inside are not bad also.

Sorry if I didn't express my intentions clearly.
The book is out of print. The only way to get it is by buying it second hand which I am very sure will go for ridiculously high prices. (About US$150)
My advice is to wait it out and buy the book when it is reprinted which should be in this year so that it's more economical. It'll be terrible if you bought it second hand at a high cost only to find it being reprinted for a much more affordable value a few months later.

Straight from the mouth of Kaufman:

And a new one of Japan Magic above that all. I can't wait.

great book, but for some stuff you need toi make gimmicks. These gimmicks are supposed to be self made. A magician fooler, it was just back in print recently i guess

hi, I will like to know if any of our local dealers have this or it is re printed already? The stuff they show is really amazing but i can't really see any difference with the magic..
thanks a lot~!

No, our locals wouldn't have any of these unless they're selling 2nd hand. The book is not re-printed yet but rest assured that it will eventually be in the near future. It should be a few months from now.
The magic is different in the sense that it is an approach towards magic by Japanese magicians. Alot of the current influences that we have in magic are largely American and European. Thus, the book would actually share a different perspective from what we may be used to seeing.

The tricks in there are fairly simple...most of which u hafta construct the gimmicks yourself...explanations are clear too. Definately a book worth buying or keeping...if u dun haf it yet...beg steal or borrow...if u haf it already...keep and treasure it
and who says locals dun haf em...there are locals who have them and there are individuals in singapore who owns 2 books
