It was raved about by critics and snatched up by many top pros. Given that the first Harpacrown became synonymous with practical magic that actually works, it’s no wonder this sequel is dubbed Harpacrown Too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the first volume was all about the why, this one flips the script to focus on the how. How to craft your script, how to adapt existing material and conjure up new routines, how to piece together an act, and, most crucially, how to ensure your Mentalism is actually entertaining (because let’s face it, nobody wants to watch a snooze-fest).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth tomes together give you a solid grounding in both the why and the how. The effects are not just strong; they’re practical for real-world use and illustrate the principles laid out in the essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eDELUXE COLLECTORS EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e is a gorgeous, premium bound book, crafted with care to look stunning on any shelf and last longer than your last relationship.

It's full of great advice from a real world perspective.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMarc Paul\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"The book is a remarkable teaching aid and tribute, and a lesson on mentalism thinking. His mental process (which he explains) is mind blowing. He does it all and is honestly a thinker for our times. He understands the rhythm of the moment and exploits it with amazing results.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMarc Salem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Mark has provided solid routines that have clearly been worked. The structure of the routines are always sound, and the methods are always simple and deceptive. Mark clearly has an eye for adding twists and subtleties that enhance every piece of mentalism. This is a great look into his mind. His essays and philosophy on making your tricks\/presentations original to you will inspire you to take a deep dive into your own performances. As for the material, this is one of the rare occasions where the material in this second book is just as strong (maybe even stronger) than the material in the first book.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eMadison Adams Hagler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"It's one of those rare books that I wish I didn't own, just so I could buy it again and experience reading it afresh.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eJamie Badman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This book hasn't left my nightstand since I got it.

Harpacrown Too, however, definitely fits the bill. I was unsure how Harpacrown Too would measure up to Mark's previous releases, Harpacrown and Free Will, which were each hits in their own right.
