COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2022"I had the pleasure of meeting Shane a couple of weeks ago, such a lovely guy, and he signed a book for me, and also showed me a couple of tricks, which completely baffled me, and I've lost sleep over them. I've just finished the book, which was fantastic, and I've learnt some tricks myself now from the book, which I tried out on some friends the other day! Honestly I've been completely engrossed in the book for the past couple of weeks, and sort of sad that it's come to an end, might have to read it again! Thanks Shane! Life changing!"A MAGICAL BOOK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!"
