My review of “Approaching Magic Practice; How to Practice Magic Tricks Effectively” By Dominic Reyes
This review is regarding the PDF guidebook “Approaching Magic Practice; How to Practice Magic Tricks Effectively By Dominic Reyes.”
This 100 page book is brilliant, “spot on,”incredibly apt. I’m willing to bet that it is exceedingly relevant reading to every one of us, from tyro to professional.
(I learned the word ‘tyro’ when I first encountered it. Where, you didn’t ask? Why it was in the Royal Road to Card Magic. It means novice, or beginner.)
That this book, on how to better oneself at this art form we all love called Magic, is given, or “sold,” at no cost is a real tribute to the kind and giving qualities of its author. Thank you. On behalf of all of us.

Accepting higher postage costs when they had no intention to deliver close to the advised timescales. Wh er n asked they simply apologise with no offer to refund the difference. They thanked me for my continued customer loyalty although I will no longer use them for future purchases.

Reply from Merchant of Magic
Hi Stephen We are really sorry to hear you are still unhappy with the shipping time on your order.
We received your order on the 23rd December for a special order item from Italy. it shipped when the shop reopened after the Christmas holidays on the 29th. It was delivered to your door on the 30th December.
We did clearly explain that your order would not ship until the 29th, both on the product page and again at the checkout when you ordered.
Shipping at our magic shop is usually 1-2 days in the UK but can be slower for special order items, or if there is a public holiday, but we will always let you know when you order, and provide tracking.
Have a lovely New Year

Magic Lee has good advice. 👍🏼
Great staff, showing how tricks work and good advice for tricking all ages. There’s a plethora of Magic tricks to choose from from simply to advanced. I’ve bought online from here before with good service but was in the area and well glad I made the effort to visit.
Well impressed many thanks Magic Lee & Jason. Will be sure to come back again 👍🏼
