We Recommend!
Over the last twenty years working in such areas as the Entertainment Industry, Public Speaking, Corporate Communications and Promotions, we often get quizzed about resource material.
Typical questions -
"I want to learn some Magic, can you recommend a book?"
"I want to get into Public Speaking! How do I start?"
"I know how to juggle already, but is there a book with some advanced tricks?"
"We loved the Music you played during the Show. What was it?"
"You mentioned some books during your presentation. Where can we get them?"
We thought long and hard before starting this section of the Store and looked at
various options.
We think the concept of a growing Monthly Recommendations List and Archive, will give you
access to the information you need and may introduce you to some Writing and Music that is
new to you. Enjoy!

| The Complete Juggler: All the Steps from Beginner to Professional
- Dave Finnigan This a very comprehensive book that is perfect for the person who can juggle three balls and wants to move on from there. The absolute beginner can start with this book, but there are probably better ones for them. (I'll select the best beginners book soon). The book covers various 3 ball tricks, 4 & 5 ball, working with partners, and all sorts of other props. There is also advice on putting a show together and how to practice efficiently. Highly recommended. |
