This is a 30 page comb bound pamphlet. I would not call it a book by any means. This pamphlet is atrocious. (That means really, really, really bad)

Why?

I would think if some one was going to write a book on how to break into trade shows it would take a few more pages than 30. What adds to this insult, is that each page has a large side banner that takes up a fifth of the page, so it isn't even a true 30 pages to begin with. And . . . . the pamphlet is peppered with some low grade clip art on top of that.

This is an extremely over-simplified collection of notes pertaining to trade shows. Many of the suggestions are fairly self explanatory for anyone who would be thinking doing magic full time in any venue. Suggestions such as, get letters of reference (1 paragraph), get a video tape (1 paragraph), and get a photo (1 paragraph), are not really breaking new ground in the business of magic. On one page, he even gives suggestions like, use deodorant, don't pick your nose, and use breath mints. Oh my gosh!

There is little of value in this pamphlet and $20 is outrageous! Words fail me as I attempt to explain how much of a blatant fleecing of the magic community this is.
