Lunch Is Served
Paul Romhany
TC Tahoe
(Based on 2 reviews)
This book is a compendium of creative approaches to a single principle, a principle dedicated to changing the characteristics of an object that has been signed by a spectator. The trick "Out to Lunch" is generally treated, appropriately, as a comedic trifle, but in this book you will find a multitude of approaches, plots and presentation that take the principle to places that you have perhaps not explored or even imagined. Holes moves, signatures jump, bills transport. Truly magical moments are crafted from this workhorse of a principle, one that is exceptionally simple, but deceptively so.

PROS
This is great book, all about the out-to-lunch principle. Not only are there great routines in the book, but it also comes with a link to some great graphics you can save and use.
The book starts with a basic explanation of how the out-to-lunch principle works and then goes into over sixty routines.
The material is well thought out and well written.
The routines are practical and powerful.
CONS
There really isn’t much to be said, other than all of these routines are about the same principle, so this is NOT a book about a variety of different magic principles.
VERDICT
This is a great book about the out-to-lunch principle and over 60 routines.

This book is one of the first in a line of books by Paul Romhany that covers a particular topic to the nth degree.
I found this book very good for 2 reasons:
1) It teaches the OTL principle in depth, covering materials, clips (Doc Eason's), sizes of card stock, etc., and
2) It is FILLED with many great ideas and routines that put the OTL principle to good use.
Working cruises, I found 3 great ideas that I began using right away in my strolling entertainment. And with so many DIFFERENT ideas in here, I could probably change the props (or card designs) and perform it for the same group, all the while appearing as if I am performing a completely different effect.
PLUS, I was happy to get some of the templates for routines right on the CD.
I feel that this book was a huge bargain at the asking price, reviving a routine that many of us have (sadly) tossed aside as out-dated. Not at all.
