MORE PRAISE FORONE DEGREE:
"John is unquestionably one of the best minds in magic today...a master of the art."—Jack Carpenter
"It has been a long time since I read a book where with every routine and every utility move， I said to myself， 'That is going into my repertoire!' One Degree is such a book and belongs in every cardician's library."—Allan Ackerman
“One Degree satisfies and illuminates to the nth degree!”—Jon Racherbaumer
“Few creators in our field are so gifted that they leave the patina of their ingenuity on everything they touch—John Guastaferro belongs to this select lot. To see his work brought together in a book， one as beautiful as this， is a joy."—David Regal
“Many authors try to articulate their inherent enthusiasm for their own creations， often with considerable vividness and opulence. The risk is that the ideas being conveyed fall short of the build-up. John Guastaferro has taken that risk in One Degree—and has come up a winner! Even if he had presented his creations unvarnished and ungarnished， they would have provided their own hype and excitement. Readers will quickly recognize that John， perhaps uniquely， has constructed his tricks， first and foremost， with his spectators in mind.”—J. K. Hartman
"I am excited about this book...This collection oozes style and substance from a true auteur."—John Bannon， from the foreword
