Review:
Having heard about Simon’s work, I decided to purchase this ebook, and I’m thrilled with its content. Spanning 59 pages, it features a clever application of the free will plot that is straightforward for spectators to grasp. The combination of Which Hand with the free will concept makes it an excellent opener for group or one-on-one performances. Copperhead is my favorite; Simon presents a bold method that remains clean and effective. Principia also impressed me with its unique approach, allowing the performer to remain hands-off after the information is written. Overall, this book is well-structured, with effects that are clearly tried and tested, and I look forward to incorporating these ideas into my performances.
