Review by Alan Hudson:

This booklet may fly under the radar for many in the magic community, primarily because Justin Higham is not as widely recognized as other magicians. However, I believe it will gain appreciation over time as a hidden gem.

Secrets of Improvisational Magic isn’t just a collection of tricks; it’s a thoughtful exploration of how to personalize your magic by adapting to unexpected situations. For example, if a forced card ends up at the bottom of the deck, instead of reverting to your original plan, Justin encourages you to embrace the moment and create something extraordinary.

This book is an enjoyable read, filled with practical examples and insights from notable figures like Arthur Setterington and Benjamin Earl. Many readers express a desire to keep this material secret, but I believe it should be shared widely so we can all create more magical moments and keep the spirit of performance alive.

Featuring 8 chapters and a bibliography, this 72-page A5 saddle-stitched booklet is a must-have for any magician.
