Hopefully, this book will continue that tradition.Finally, Richard gives the ultimate out of the box idea - his new method of doing the Magic Square presentation. Although he first performed this great routine on the Corinda DVDs, and later refined the idea using a crib in his book Crib, this final method dispenses with the crib and will allow you to do this routine anytime and anywhere. All the steps are easy to learn and you certainly can master this routine in just a few nights. Once you have, you can perform an Instant Magic Square that is different than any other. You can complete the square literally as fast as you can write and all the numbers will be different for each magic square you create. Finally, Richard has added an ending that goes beyond the typical Magic Square routine. Just when the audience thinks it is all over, you are able to hit them with one last bombshell that adds a new and definite climax to the effect! If they didn't think so before, they will believe you are a true mastermind!
