This book may be a must have in your magic book collection. There isn't one trick in it.
What do you want to achieve, how do you present, do's and don'ts. If you want to perform, what matters. It's a great book to learn that it's not just about mechanics, but what it does to the spectator, the participant. This book is in my top 3.

Bought after the praise from premium time and already for me the best book in my collection, there are no tricks in it, but we all have enough of those already.
This is without a doubt the book you simply have to read if you want to perform. For the amateur, hobbyist, semi-pro, or professional. You get so much out of this, for me I already know that I will read this several more times to improve myself.
Not expensive and certainly not for what you get.
Recommended!

Very cool books with very cool tricks, routines, sleights and instructions are in my closet. I have read almost all of these books with enthusiasm.
Truth be told: I ordered Maximum Entertainment 2.0 along with an order for another book. “Maybe it could be interesting too,” I thought.
Opening my package I leafed through the tables of contents of both books and started reading a bit in ME 2.0. Starting the other book, the delicious dessert I was looking forward to, I wanted to postpone for a while.
I don't know yet what my dessert tastes like. I didn't have time for that. Maximum Entertainment 2.0, on the other hand, I devoured. I took it with me wherever I went to read the free moments in it. Pencil in hand to mark the essence.
Enjoy this book. So I haven't started my dessert yet, I'm still enjoying the meal that Ken Weber has served me!
