Bill Malone:The word 'brilliant' is an understatement when it comes to describing Simon Aronson's wonderful contributions to card magic. Simon's creativity with a deck of cards is surpassed by no one. His methods and thinking behind these gems are way ahead of their time. Now you can enjoy, as I have, many routines that will entertain and fool laymen and magicians alike.
John Bannon:There are two hallmarks of Simon's tricks. The first is that they are totally fooling. For most of Simon's routines, you just don't stand a chance. The second characteristic is that they are intrinsically interesting. Beyond the actual effects themselves, thinking magicians will marvel at the subtle and devious principles Simon employs. I find many of Simon's methods doubly fascinating - that the method works, and that he could come up with it in the first place.
Juan Tamariz:I regard my admired friend Simon Aronson as the one magician who has contributed the most to memorized deck work since the time of Nikola. All his tricks are models of analysis, creativity and subtlety.

Michael Close:I've used Simon's routines for thirty years to establish a reputation among laymen and magicians. Simon's material is appealing for several reasons: the ingenuity, elegance, and deviousness of the methods; the thoroughness, clarity, and intelligence of the explanations; the economy and directness of the handlings; and the serious amount of butt that these tricks kick.
Steve Draun:Who or what inspires Simon is beyond me. Although a member of the Marlo group from the start, he has taken a different path. If you are addicted to getting fooled, look up Simon. His magic leaves no clue with which to uncover its diabolical secret.
Dave Solomon:Simon completely fools me with his creative trick construction, while always being entertaining. These DVDs offer great rewards - fabulous routines, described in minute detail, that you can immediately add to your repertoire.
