The Best Magic Book of the Year

For years, Paul Draper has been one of the most powerful voices in the community. Now, he's ready to share his deepest insights with all of you. We're so happy to introduce you to your new favorite magic book, On Second Thought

As one of the world’s foremost mentalists (and one of the industry’s greatest writers), Draper has a deep body of work that he is eager to share. 
On Second Thought collects eight years of Paul’s greatest material from his column in M-U-M magazine.

Inside, you’ll be treated to one of the most comprehensive collections of magic and mentalism ever put to page. With over 80 tricks, ruminations, and even Q&As, On Second Thought reads at the pace of a thriller.

Each effect is presented in chronological order, so you get to see how Paul’s style and approach to his art evolved over time.

Subject matter darts between mentalism, magic, and Draper’s own observations on human behavior and performance. There are glorious, full-color photos to punctuate each trick and story, and the entire book comes in a special, custom-made box with original artwork. On Second Thought will start conversations on your shelf and will look handsome in your hands. 

There's far more to this book than can ever be said in one email, so if you want some more information, check out this excellent review by Magic Orthodoxy!
