What People Are Saying:

"Bill Goldman is a genius. There are many things I admire about Bill but his strength of material/ease-of-method ratio is at the top of the list. His tricks are not only magician foolers, but laymen fall all over themselves as well. His Bar and Grill book contains a WEALTH of material. I am thrilled that he keeps putting them out." -- Doc Eason

"Bill Goldman is a pro who, among pro circles, is widely regarded as a true 'worker,' the highest compliment a professional can generally offer. There are those who will also mention that he is a nice guy, an all but supernatural combination. This little bit of handiwork has a higher bang-for-buck ratio than most of the last 10 hardcover magic books you probably bought. There have been eight (ten) issues since 1995, and almost every one has at least one piece that I would consider worthy of professional use. Read that sentence again and try to find out the last time I said that in 64 pages -- I found eight useable routines. I don't think so. That's all I'm going to say about it. Don't say I didn't warn you. Do something good for yourself. Buy this. Learn a good trick. What's wrong with that idea, huh? Just tell me. You'll thank me later." -- Jamie Ian Swiss

"Bill Goldman's latest book was exactly what I needed to bring a new, real-world perspective to my tired bones. The last few words almost brought tears to my eyes, and I accept the challenge to use my best self to summon the fairy dust. It is good to have people like Bill in magic. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and joy." -- Keith Raygor

"The Bar & Grill series has some really powerful mental magic in it. One effect (Lemonade) completely fooled a room full of magicians during Bill Goldman's lecture at the Magic Castle." -- Jerry Dunn

"Bill, you are a genius!!" -- Gaetan Bloom
