The Approach by Jamie D. Grant

"If you've been doing walk-around forever or just bought an invisible deck yesterday - The Approach is the best investment you can make. Jamie's covered EVERYTHING based on self-actualized innovation as a worker in the trenches. Two thumb tips up and a Sanada gimmick high five!" -Bill Abbott


"Jamie D. Grant writes with wit, intelligence and brevity – a rare trifecta. In this book he spills essential information that every walk-around performer needs to know. Sure, you already know some of this, but you don’t know it all. And that makes this a required investment in your performing career." -Ken Weber

"If I only had this and the Tarbell course, my magic career would be in great hands..." -John H

"This is the book that every magician needs in their library . . . even seasoned pros (who will either just confirm what they already know, or if they're like me, manage to learn something new that hadn't occurred to them before). In a short amount of time, I'll be able to tell which performers have read this book, and those who haven't, just by the merits of their performance. Thank you, Jamie, for sharing this "gift of wonder" with the magic fraternity. I will look forward to seeing the majestic garden that will result from the seeds you have planted." -Philemon Vanderbeck

"Invaluable information for the working magician. This is definitely one of the best buys I've purchased in my 24 years in magic. " -J.M. 

"P*ss*d that I didn't have this back in the day." -Steve Valentine

Jamie D. Grant is a professional magician who, for over a decade, has entertained thousands of people from all walks of life. From billionaires to celebrities to the person next door, Jamie has been asked, and paid, to bring people joy and wonder. In this book, Jamie provides insider knowledge on how he did it… and how you can too.

"Let me tell you 5 reasons why I think you should spend your hard-earned money on this...

1. I just did a Walkaround gig last night for $ 1500. I did that, honestly, by doing all the things in this book.

2. To become a doctor, a single textbook, for a single class, can cost $ 200. The Approach is under $ 100 for my entire guideline.

3. There is a chapter called, "The Big Secret". Trust me when I tell you that, once you start doing gigs, will be worth the price of the book alone.

4. I've never believed in "outsourcing". Everything, from the layout, the design, and the printing, is done here in Vancouver, Canada. By buying this book, you're positively affecting a community.

5. You have my promise that, as a purchaser, you'll be able to ask me anything you need to help you with your career. It's ALL covered in the book but, if you hit a stumbling block, I'll be here to help. I guarantee it.
