ESSENTIAL READING

I recently stumbled upon this (E)booklet & it aligns perfectly with my search for character development.

Although the information is fairly basic, it has given me a lot of food for thought.
I had many A-HA (NO, not the 80's pop music band) moments, where I felt like things were just "clicking" in my brain.

I'd go as far as saying this should be essential reading for any aspiring magician or mentalist
Great job Rev. Christopher.
Thanks for sharing your experiences of character development.

I'd love to write a longer review, but I'm off to "kill my darlings!"

Summary

Christopher's brilliance really shines thru in this product. Character development is critical to the working professional. Even if you just want to enhance your casual game, understanding WHO you are will only further enhance others enjoyment of your craft. There is no one better to teach this than Christopher Thisse. There is more magic in this download than on any video that teaches you just tricks.

Summary

"A magician is an actor playing the part of a magician." -- Jean Eugne Robert- Houdin.

Boffo will help you think about what that magician you are playing the part off can do, how he thinks, etc. This though process will add depth to your performances.

I recomend this book to anyone who takes the art of magic seriously.

Summary

I loved it, if you're starting out and you want to develop a persona and style you should get this. The price is fair. The only downside: it's short, less than 30 pages. But great stuff here.

Summary

Picked this up on a whim. Figured why not, the more knowledge one knows, the better. This is a very short pdf file/book. Under 30 pages. There is alot of useful things in here, but alot I feel that is not so useful. This pdf if followed will help get you started on character creation, but I also feel that this tells you to live your characters life, and if your character won't do it, you CAN'T DO IT. I got this on the 15 percent discount, so I'm not complaining about the price, as I said before lots of great things in here. No tricks, no methods, no secrets really. But there is fluff and things that I personally feel should have been left out. But if you're serious about becoming a character, this will help get you started. Now I just need to find out what craft beer he was drinking.
