NOTE from Don: Steve Cook has become one of my latest favorite authors.  He is super creative, his routines are easy to understand, and they have strong effect and impact. I realize this is an expensive book, but I really like it a lot.

Fake Genius contains 20 real world worker effects from the devious mind of Steve Cook.

He has received worldwide acclaim for his effects, such as: Symbol, Volition, The Stealth Case, ID, Die-Abolicall and many more. The majority of the effects in this book are mentalism based. You will also find some fascinating and original brief essays on various topics, plus a plethora of invaluable hints and tips and sage advice.

Acclaim for the work of Steve Cook:

"It's a fantastic and fascinating piece of work. It's truly epic and people are going to adore it. The effects are wonderful and beautifully explained throughout, and the hints and tips sections are priceless, to say the least. The essays about the magicians that influenced you are a lovely touch, and written with genuine affection. This really is an incredible piece of work Steve. It has the feel of a modern classic of magic"
