Making Money From Magic > Readers' Comments"Dear
Mr Rowland, thank you for the quick turn around as ever - received 'Making Money from
Magic' within two days. Please pass on my thanks to Mr McAdam for a really well written
book." - Paul Sumner
"Dear Ian, thank you so much for your extra quick delivery, the
'Making Money' - book was sent only two days ago and it arrived today! I did not expect a
step by step book. In a sense it is not a book to read but a book to work with/from, which
was a very positive surprise. I want to keep on reading but am always reminded to do the
tasks first, so you really have to think it through. / The book is worth much more than
what Drew is asking for." - Harry Lucas
"Just a quickie to let you know the book arrived today (pretty quick). The book
looks even better than I thought - really down-to-earth practical stuff. Much better than
some of the highly priced stuff that I have bought in the past. I can't wait to try it
out." - Martin Key
"The book is really a no nonsense guide to making cash from your Art. It functions
as a work book, complete with templates and exercises for you to use and work through. I
have just recently started to work through the book as intended and I believe that if you
follow the tasks and rules that Drew sets out you WILL be successful. How can I know this
if I haven't been through the whole book? Because the book is dripping wet with common
sense ideas and practical solutions. I wish I could begin to tip the ideas in the book
just so that you would understand how simple the process is.
Drew explains everything; your set lists (impromptu, close up, stage, trade show etc),
your persona, your promotional materials, how to get work, where to get work, how to make
your effects more believable, how to view your audience and yourself and your peers, I
mean there is no stone unturned, the whole game is laid bare for you." - 'DangerMouse'

"As someone who normally has the attention span of a 12 year old, having a
workbook like this that makes me focus and plan out in a logical, methodical way is great.
Although I have only made it through the first few chapters/exercises I already know it
was a very worthwhile investment." - Craig Leonard (MagicCafe)
"I find it a rather "easy" read, in that it's well written and the
concepts and ideas are clearly written. I'll let you know Drew in six months how this road
map works for me. Thus far I must say that it is exactly what I'm looking for." - 'Mind
guy' (MagicCafe)
"Got it...and I'm reading it... and doing my excercises like a good boy... The
part about your attitude towards your repertoire is definately what I need in the first
place, but I can't wait until the part where you start SELLING your act. But, so far, I'm
a happy customer... I'll keep in touch when I advance in the manual..." - 'Traveler'
(Magic Cafe)
"I'm reading/working through my copy! Well done Drew! It's like you have written
this book just for me, it's direct, logical and inspiring! I need to do one more year of
my current job before I can make my escape. I now have the confidence that this is
realistic and not just a romantic notion!" - 'Jasper' (Magic Cafe)
"I'm about half way through this book and have to say it is enlightening. Well
written and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm going to read through it once then go back through
it completing each excercise as I go along...I'm absorbing what I have to do as I'm
reading it now though... well done and thank you Drew." - 'Bumbacla'

"This is the first magic book my wife has approved of. It does not teach tricks:
if you have no intention of getting paid for performing then the book is not for you. If
you are a full-time professional then you may or may not find it useful: I cant tell
because Im not one (its for others to make this assessment). However if you
are a competent amateur who would like to earn a living from magic, or intend to carry on
with your day job while turning your hobby into a lucrative sideline, then you have to
have this book. It will be the best magic-related investment you have ever made.
Theres no miracle formula or anything weird, just down-to-earth practical advice
which could take many years to discover by trial and error (with a lot of expensive
mistakes along the way). If (like the title says) you want to make money from magic then
buy it: you wont be disappointed. This is the kind of quirky book which could sell
out and become an expensive eBay item." - Alan Jackson (Magic Cafe)
"I think this is a book every amateur should have! Even if you do not want to make
money out of magic it will make you a better magician or mentalist." - 'RichHead'
(Magic Cafe)
"This is the book I've been waiting for." - 'PsychoMagi'
(Magic Cafe)
"It's GREAT! I know it's not supposed to have any tricks / methods / routines in
it.... but... I've been looking for presentational angles for 3 effects that really suits
me. A few short paragraphs on page 36 solved it for me. If you have the book you will know
what I'm talking about. Huge THANX Drew. I now have another 15 minutes of material that
makes sense. Cheers." - Ola (Magic Cafe)
"Drew, the lovely local postie handed me your book this very morning while I was
in my dressing gown - 2 days after sending my order - bloody good service! I've only just
dived in, but so far it's a great read." - Tom De Voe (Magic Cafe).
"I got The Book today!! I have to say this is a fantastic book. It holds over 140
pages of pure gold. Every page is full of common sense, practical, workable methods to
'Make Money from Magic'. This book is very easy to read. Drew's enthusiasm and wit shine
through. I fully intend to use this book and follow each section as described.
Congratulations Mr McAdam, your book is inspiring and provocative." - 'Kinesis'

"I'm currently working my way through your book (really enjoying and getting a lot
out of it, by the way). Thanks for your help, and thanks also for writing such a generous,
well-intended book." - 'Lance' (Magic Cafe)
"I received Drews book (with prompt delivery) and after reading the opening
chapters, for the first time for a while I got that tingling sensation (not since Mr
Rowlands SOT). The sensation was Boy, this is well written and I feel that I
can achieve a pipe dream. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to read a book about
making money not filled (so far) with theories, graph charts, inspirational
quotes (from Anom.) and fictional stories. From Drews descriptions, you know he has
genuinely been through the motions.
Its a pity that I cannot offer a full review because the nature of the book (i.e.
exercises) does not allow it (plus, Ive not even reached the halfway mark by a
long-shot!). But, what it does offer the reader is a structured approach to setting
yourself up from base and evaluating yourself, your routines and your future motives. And
on top of this, the book price is pittance! I would have gladly parted with £80 or more
(seriously) for this book! Well Done Drew! And thank you Mr Rowland, for making the
overall quality of the book as good as your material!" - Lee Davies
(Magic Cafe)
"Hi everybody! This book is very interesting, well written and with so many good
advices!! If you wanna make a living with mentalism, you should read this book. I found it
to be the perfect companion with Ken Weber's book!" - Mark Timon
