"Ted Karmilovich has long been one of my favourite mentalists in the world. Ever since skimming through my volumes of Magick to seek out his contributions, I’ve been in love with his beautiful, powerful thinking. In our age of artless electronics, the current crop of us stand on the shoulders of this quiet giant, who has finally released the volume we’ve spent decades waiting for. This is grown-up mentalism as it should be." … Derren Brown

"They say we all stand on the shoulders of giants in the world of mentalism….and Ted Karmilovich is one of those legends! He punched his ticket the day he created MOAB, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. His brilliant thinking has greatly influenced my own work and repertoire & I know any release with his name on it is going to be top notch." … Oz Pearlman
