Feedback on The Magic Gourmet:

If you’re in search of an engaging magic book that features a variety of tricks, especially card tricks, I highly recommend Lewis Jones’s The Magic Gourmet. This collection offers challenging yet rewarding routines, making it a valuable addition to any magician’s library.

This book is filled with content for magicians of all levels. It’s enjoyable to read, includes numerous photographs, showcases world-class close-up magic, and is accessible for performers! Highly recommended.

And regarding other titles:

I strongly endorse the Lewis Jones series of card books. Many magicians tend to stick with a handful of tricks throughout their careers, but thanks to Lewis, I’ve expanded my repertoire significantly.

However, a word of caution: do not purchase these books if you wish to keep magic secrets safe.

Lewis Jones’s deep contemplation of magic reminds me of Paul Curry and Stewart James. His thoughtful and analytical style is commendable and fits well among such esteemed company.

Back in 2001, I faced criticism for mentioning Lewis Jones, then an emerging British card genius whose manuscripts were closely guarded by their owners. For those unfamiliar, he stands alongside legends like Jerry Andrus, Simon Aronson, and Lennart Green. His originality shines through in his clever sleights and intriguing mathematical mysteries. Jones’s trick descriptions are enticing, reading like dealer ads, but they truly deliver on their promises.

Lewis Jones is a brilliant creative force in magic, specializing in close-up card tricks with an ungaffed deck. His focus on ingenuity over complex sleights results in astonishingly deceptive methods and plots.

His creations remind me of the innovative works of Stewart James.

Among card magic authors, Lewis ranks in my top ten. His unconventional approach yields extraordinary results.
