Review by Andy Martin for Out Of This World by Paul Curry
5 out of 5 I first read about this effect in Paul Clive’s excellent book Card Tricks Without Skill when I was a 12 or 13. I have used it on and off ever since and although I’ve read over one hundred variations since then I still pretty much perform it the way Curry first …
Review by Andy Martin for Ultissimo Deluxe by Louis Gaynor, Paul Curry

Review by Ted Leon for World's Beyond by Paul Curry
5 out of 5 World’s Beyond-complete review I must tell you that my focus is mentalism…. in particular, two-person mentalism. My better half and I perform as the team, “Liz and Leondo” in Las Vegas. As I was ordering this book, I remember asking myself, “why are you buying another book on card tricks?”. Heaven …
