Jeff, thanks for the thorough and thoughtful review…not just of my books, but of so many others!

Excited for this one. I missed One Degree, but after listening to John the first time he was on the Insider podcast, he was truly inspiring to listen to. Really love his VI Masterclass.

There are authors who's work I have them All (Bannon, Regal, Aronson) and Guastaferro is on that list. "1 Degree" is actually one of my favorite books, I'm pretty sure this new release is going to be full of great material. BTW Don is a great place to buy from!

I can’t wait to read nth degree! Anyone who missed out on one degree or has not picked it up, John actually has it for sale in a discounted bundle package with the nth degree on his website. I think it was 10% off and he signs it if requested. Enjoy 😉

I'm finding cloth-cover books are great at trapping golden retriever hair!

I didn't realize there was another print run of 1 Degree - great news because I have been searching off and on for it. However, I'll probably get both.

As always, thanks for the review!

Always happy to add and new book to the shelf, but do you recommend reading One Degree first?

[ScottRSmith]

I thought the book has been available? Maybe at Magifest? This is my kind of magic book. I just need to make sure I don’t have it. My books are a mess because I had all new shelves built. Thanks for the great review. I love the first book. There is no way I could make the card that reads Ace one way and Jack the other. Is there anywhere I could find that card.

I’m curious if this will overtake Principia as there best selling book

Does he teach his homage to homing in this book or something similar

The price point of this, as a slender 150-page volume, is outrageous. Artful Deceptions was £25. This is £43, the same price/more than much more significant magic tomes (putting the more subjective comparison of content aside). Your comments on this sound like an apology from someone who works for VI and for me, undermine the credibility of everything else in the review. Maybe you should recuse yourself from company releases as I really think it undermines the overall objectivity of the channel, which I generally really enjoy and respect (I accept there's a disclaimer, but that could be missed/skipped by regular uninformed viewers)
