 Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy my name is David and this is a book review Hey today, we're gonna look at origin from Peter McKinnon and illusionist calm What is origin origin is a book that Pete McKinnon put out and it kind of has its own journey its own story to it? Originally Pete put out like a little tiny booklet or a little pamphlet called the black hole prediction Which was kind of a joke And it's included in here if you want to see what it is But it's pretty darn funny after that he put another couple of tricks together called the riot collection and From that he had developed a little bit more stuff And now it's all come together into this nice hard-shell book called origin now the way I feel about books If you've seen any of my past videos, you know, but I'll repeat it for you. I think books are great I think whenever an artist Takes the time to sit down and actually write through their tricks right through some of the things that are special about them The things that make them unique original just the brain workings of you know professional magician You should pick it up. Seriously Books are great. They go with you everywhere Books don't need to get plugged in books don't need to recharge you can take them camping You can take them in the back seat of the car. You can take them to church. Okay, literally you can take a book anywhere There's light to read by okay, and so the great thing about books is you can always pull them off your shelf And find your references quickly. You don't have to fast-forward or rewind or search menus Books are really accessible and so Pete's done a lot of great work putting this together for you And I think it's highly worth the money to invest in something like this Welcome to as the 8020 control What's cool about it is that you force the card and control it in one action Instead of doing them both separately like you normally would Spectator says stop right about there. You show them the car They stopped that and you want to just leave it in the center. That's it All you got to do and it's back on top, which is cool because it starts on top and it ends on top That's the 8020 Inside this hardcover book are 29 different effects. There's slight such flourishes all of it comes together and demonstrates Peter's just relentless need to excel in every art that he stumbles across in this You're gonna find tricks with cards tricks with hats tricks with rings tricks with wallets You're gonna find transpositions table switches and so much more This book really does cover all the eccentricness that we know and love about Peter McKinnon So you're gonna have a lot of card flourishes in here a lot of tricks with cards in here And just all kinds of little knick-knacks tricks as well that kind of pizza picked up and put together in this volume So it does really make it worth it to pick up As far as the book goes and its quality Adam Wilbur was responsible for getting it printed here in the United States If you don't know Peter McKinnon, he's actually from Toronto, Canada There's 220 hand-drawn illustrations in here by one of Peter's friends by the name of Perseus Arca Manus And they're really cool because the artwork actually picks Peter So when you look at it, it's it's Peter's body. It's Peter's face Thomas Lavity did the cover if you don't know who he is. He's out on Instagram. You might want to go follow him. He's pretty cool. Another guy named Carmen He did the layout for the entire book and then Dave Buck wrote the forward And so just a lot of great minds came together to work on this and put it together And so sometime this week. I also did a review for lock stock and Wyatt, which is Peter McKinnon's dvd And the great thing about having the book and the dvd is a lot of those tricks go together Every single trick on the dvd is actually in this book And so sometimes it helps to have both So you can kind of go back to the book as a reference But then maybe go back to the dvd if you need to kind of see it a little bit more visually And so I did I bought both at the same time and so that's what I would recommend if you have the opportunity I would definitely go out and try to find The origin book last I saw it looked like it was sold out on illusionist.com You might want to just fire off an email to Pete McKinnon and see If it's available still somewhere maybe through his website All right, so standard questions we ask like can you do this trick surrounded or what are the angles? Or is there set up and reset of course because there's 29 effects in here Some of them flourishes those questions really don't apply To a book and so I think going into this you understand that you're getting a book that has Almost 30 tricks in it. So you're going to get this and that and the other so don't think of it like that think of it more like this is a A compendium of wealth and knowledge that you will continually go back to to glean inspiration from how's that All right, so is it worth your money? Hey books are always worth your money the 115 pages 29 tricks 40 bucks definitely worth your money Who would like this? I think fans of Peter McKinnon fans of illusionist.com fans of just Card flourishing card tricks and kind of the things that we know and love about Peter McKinnon I think would definitely love origin.
