This is much more meaningful than that! \u003cbr\u003e“When I started reading, I had my doubts about what new insights Gabriel could have discovered, fearing that a Bob Hummer principle that I've long been a fan of would end up being massively watered down. I was soon enchanted by the strange and oh-so-subtle intricacies of the various routines he describes. \u003cbr\u003e“The first effect whets our appetites... The table is set. The rest of the book is like a many-layered onion... One that makes us cry with happiness! Slowly but surely, nuggets and new nuances follow, with telephone and stage effects all breaking new magical ground. The technique for openly marking objects from a distance is diabolical, as is the idea of pairing objects with one another... \u003cbr\u003e“I don't want to say anything else... If you're a fan of subtlety, you'll wolf down every page... Each one is full of mysteries, and is as fun and rewarding to explore as the clues to a fine cryptic crossword... \u003cbr\u003e“My only regret is that Bob Hummer wasn't able to read this book - I'm sure he would've loved it! I've no doubt that Annemann, too, would've thoroughly enjoyed all these new developments.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Gaëtan Bloom \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoutines explained include... \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSetting the Table:\u003c\/b\u003e A completely impromptu effect, whereby a spectator merely thinks of one of several objects, and the performer divines that exact object perfectly! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAt the Bar:\u003c\/b\u003e The performer repeatedly identifies under which cup a spectator has hidden a paper ball.
