In a Blink: 9 Out of 10

This wonderful book by Dale Hildebrandt did not get a full 10 out of 10 for
a personal reason: Many of the routines require special props, or can only
be done while seated. These restrictions may not bother you; in that case,
the book deserves 10 out of 10.

I cannot honestly say that I wouldn't use anything here because I have
already made up and, with a few changes, am using the routine Stickmen and
Stones, a trick with rune stones (and just about the most ideal force you
could ask for!)

There are about 30 routines here, each one running about a page or page and
a half.

The odd name for the book - Triceratops - has nothing to do with dinosaurs
but to the fact that Chapter One (really, a book in itself), has three
sections, with three tricks each.

Chapter Two is mentalism, séances, and mind work.

And Chapter Three contains a bit more formal work, or at least whole
routines, that are done anywhere from the dinner table to the supermarket.

This is an e-book, one of more than a half-dozen produced by Dale
Hildebrandt.
