As a fulltime performer and fellow creative for 20+ years, I have never read a better book on the subject of becoming creative! It is filled with practical information as well as loads of ideas. It is truly fantastic! ANY entertainer or speaker should purchase a copy and devour it. If they apply the knowledge contained within this book, they will grow and prosper as never before. Thanks for doing a service to the entertainment community in bringing this book to press. All the best!" John Cooper "I fail to see how anyone would not be inspired by this book. Those who perform for kids will be especially interested as many of the tricks and routines were developed for school and library shows. However, these examples should prove valuable for any thinking magician, for in addition to the magic, there are loads of tips on the business side of show business, solid and hard-won advice to improve your marketing of yourself and your shows. Definitely recommended." Philip R. Willmarth Executive Editor The Linking Ring "You will be pleased to know that your package was opened and inspected by the quarantine service on arrival here and found to be "Bug Free!" Chris McMillan Australia "Barry, I just finished reading THE MAGIC OF THINKING CREATIVELY and want you to know I think it's GREAT! Not only does it contain tremendous ideas for developing creativity, inspirational thoughts, and innovative magic routines, but the humor in it makes it a great fun read. I know it's aimed at professional magicians, but I think it would be great benefit to anybody who deals with the public, as well as anyone who struggles to "think out of the box" in their work." Dr. John Welton "Barry, You have a great book here. I was really impressed with the content and the research that you put into it." Bev Bergeron "WOW, I always knew you were good . . . but now I KNOW you are really great. I have gone cover to cover TWICE. You packed so much stuff in there that it should sell for twice the price." Carl Day "I'm sure the MAGIC OF THINKING CREATIVELY will be positively and enthusiastically received by the magic community. It is wonderful to have undertaken the subject at all. I know that somewhere, someone whose heart is full and whose courage is low, will read your words, be encouraged and create something beautiful. That is a gift to us all!" Max Howard
